If support will be installed in corner or flush against wall, break metal tab as shown with a pair of pliers.

 

Step 6: Attach support to wall on marked level line with supplied 2" screw. Be sure to angle screw slightly downward to ensure drill clears support.

Note: Tighten screw until bracket and screw head are recessed into drywall to allow shelf to fit tight to wall.

 

Step 7: Using a level, plumb support and install 2-1/2" screw into predrilled hole at bottom of support.

 

Step 8: Place shelf onto supports and insert 3/4" screws through bracket into underside of shelf as shown.

 

Step 9: Insert front support screw into predrilled hole as shown.

OPTIONAL Step 11: Clothing rod brackets are supplied with the rod. Insert brackets into support using predrilled holes. Install rod in brackets
