Bookcases & Shelving — Expert Answer
What are the most common mistakes to avoid when installing office bookcases?
The most common installation mistakes: (1) not leveling the unit — use a spirit level and adjust the leveling glides; (2) not anchoring tall units to the wall — any bookcase 48"+ should be wall-anchored for tip safety; (3) overloading shelves immediately after install — respect the rated load capacity; (4) placing units over HVAC vents or blocking electrical panels; (5) not accounting for the bookcases' depth when planning traffic flow — 12" of depth is more than it sounds in a tight hallway.
