Unbox and inspect

Carefully open the package and confirm you received the correct quantities, sizes, and finishes. Keep packaging until installation is complete.

  • Lay pieces on a clean surface
  • Match pieces to the shelf sizes you ordered
  • Check finish in natural light (recommended)

Prep your space

A quick clean makes a big difference. Remove items from the shelf and wipe down the wire surface so your covers sit flat and stable.

  • Clear the shelf completely
  • Wipe wire shelves + supports
  • Let surfaces dry before placing covers

Dry fit the cover

Place the cover on the shelf without forcing it. It should sit securely on the wire shelf and feel stable.

  • Center the cover left-to-right
  • Confirm it sits flat with no rocking
  • Repeat for each shelf before reloading items

Install and align

Once you’re happy with the fit, align the cover for a clean, built-in look. Small adjustments now make everything feel intentional.

  • Square the front edge visually
  • Use a level if desired
  • Install top-to-bottom (or bottom-to-top) consistently

Load items back thoughtfully

Return items gradually and evenly. This keeps everything stable and helps you maintain the calm, organized feel you’re building.

  • Distribute weight evenly
  • Heavier items toward the back when possible
  • Consider bins/labels for long-term maintenance

FAQ

Answers to common installation questions.

Still unsure?

We’ll help confirm your measurements and make sure you get the best fit.

Do I need tools or hardware to install?

No. Our shelf covers are designed to sit securely on top of existing wire shelving—no drilling or permanent modifications required.

What if a cover feels tight or slightly off?

Double-check your measurements and verify you’re placing the correct piece on the correct shelf. If something still feels off, contact us and we’ll help troubleshoot.

Can I use these in a pantry, cabinet, closet, or laundry room?

Yes—those are the most common spaces. Anywhere you have standard wire shelving, you can upgrade to a more finished, solid surface.

How do I clean and maintain the shelf covers?

Wipe with a soft cloth. For light messes, a slightly damp microfiber cloth is usually enough. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
