Before you start drilling, decide on the perfect location for your LACK shelf. Consider the wall's studs for better support, and ensure the shelf is at a comfortable height for reaching and displaying your items.

Mark the Wall Bracket Positions

Using your level and pencil, mark the top and bottom positions for your wall brackets. The brackets should be placed 40 cm apart, center to center. Double-check your measurements to ensure the shelf boards will fit snugly between them.

Drill Pilot Holes

Using your drill and the provided wall plugs, create pilot holes at your marked positions. This step helps prevent the wall material from cracking and makes it easier to screw in the wall brackets.
