Check Shelf Bowing
Heavy books placed in the center of long, unsupported shelves cause the wood or particleboard to bow and eventually break.
Bookshelves & Bookcases Maintenance
Regular maintenance tasks to keep your bookshelves & bookcases running efficiently.
Dust and Clean Shelves
Books and shelves accumulate heavy dust which attracts moisture, potentially leading to mildew or silverfish that ruin books. Keep surfaces clean and dry.
Inspect Wall Anchors
Tall bookshelves pose a severe tipping hazard, especially in homes with children or pets. Regularly verify that the anti-tip hardware is firmly secured to the wall stud.
