Step 7: Assembly
1. Attaching the hooks to the wall : Attaching the hooks to the wall is the most difficult part : the position of all 6 needs to be right : the hooks need to align on a vertical line, if not, you will have difficulty sliding the sides over it. the hooks need to aligned on a horizontal line, if not your bookshelf will not end up level the hooks need to be spaced correctly, or not all 6 hooks will carry a load. So take your time, and double check all drill positions. It is ok to draw some lines on the wall with the center lines for drilling etc, as all these lines will be hidden by the bookshelf later on. Tip 1 : drill a hole (same diameter as the holes you intend to drill) in a small piece of plyboard. Then position this plyboard with its hole at the exact location of where you are going to drill into the wall. This will prevent your drill from 'running away' from the exact location. Tip 2 : tape a small plastic bag below the to-be-drilled hole with painters-tape. This will catch most of the stone-dust Insert plugs and mount the 6 blocks to the wall Insert plugs (use best quality plugs), And screw/bolt the hooks to the wall. Make sure the each hook is perpendicular to the wall and floor. 2. Hang the 2 sides to the wall : Slide each size over the hooks. Use a rubber hammer (and some protection piece of wood) to bring it close to the wall and all the way down. 3. Slide the 5 shelves into place : Start with the bottom and top shelves, then add the middle ones.
