The Origin | Shelving Unit Customizer

• Shelving panels should overhang the horizontal supports by at least 1 inch on either side to decrease the chance of being bumped off.
• Brass screws can sheer when under high torque. This can be prevented by predrilling with the appropriate size drill bit. Using a steel screw of the same drive size and thread count can also help prepare the screw hole without making the hole too large for secure mounting.

• Shelf heights can be adjusted as long as the shelf does not have a wall mounting fitting.
• Though the shelves can be adjusted, we suggest you figure out the optimal spacing for the items on your shelves before fully securing the fittings in place as the set screws can mar the surface of the vertical tubes, and any adjustment will expose these markings.

For units made from live brass it is important that you wear gloves while installing the unit as the oils on your hands will leave markings on the brass. More information on product care can be found on our Product Care page.
