I've assembled the Bestå shelf unit with doors and it's almost complete, but I'm having trouble getting one of the shelves to slide into place. It seems like there might be some debris or dirt obstructing it from moving smoothly. Is there a recommended cleaning method for the tracks or any other tips you could provide to help me get the shelf in place?

To get the shelf sliding smoothly, first try gently wiping down the track with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris that may be obstructing the movement. If that doesn't work, you can try using a small amount of a silicone-based furniture polish or lubricant on the track. Avoid using too much, as it can attract more dust over time. Make sure to wipe away any excess. If the shelf still doesn't slide in easily, double-check that all the other shelves and hardware are properly installed and aligned. With a little gentle cleaning and adjustment, you should be able to get that last shelf sliding into place

What is the recommended weight capacity for this shelf unit? Are there any specific installation requirements or restrictions for mounting it on walls or floors?

Answered on Jun 25, 2023

The recommended weight capacity for the BESTÅ shelf unit is 66 lbs (30 kg) per shelf. For wall mounting, it is important to use the wall anchors and screws provided in the product packaging to ensure the unit is securely attached to the wall. The unit can also be mounted on the floor, but wall mounting is recommended for stability. There are no specific floor installation requirements beyond ensuring the floor is level and can support the weight of the fully loaded unit
