Troubleshooting

Bookcase wobbles when stacked

Ensure the units are on a level surface. For stacks of more than two units, securely anchor the entire unit to the wall using appropriate hardware for your wall type.

Wood finish appears uneven or has natural variations

This is a natural characteristic of wood. Variations in grain and colour are normal and contribute to the unique beauty of each FDB Mobler B98 bookcase. No action is required.

Difficulty with wall mounting

Ensure you are using the correct wall anchors for your specific wall material (e.g., drywall, plaster, brick). Consult a hardware professional if unsure. The unit has pre-drilled holes for guidance.

Scratches on the surface

For minor scratches on the varnished finish, a wood repair pen or furniture polish suitable for lacquered oak may be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The B98 bookcase can be used independently as a single unit or stacked up to two boxes. For configurations exceeding two boxes, secure anchoring to the wall is mandatory for safety. Pre-drilled holes are provided for straightforward wall mounting with appropriate wall anchors (not included). Ensure you use anchors suitable for your specific wall type.

Care: To maintain the varnished oak finish, clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents. Due to the natural properties of wood, slight variations in appearance are normal and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Protect from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to preserve the wood's integrity.
