This document provides assembly instructions for the IKEA TORNVIKEN 120cm wall shelf. The most critical aspect is the wall mounting process to prevent the furniture from falling, which could cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. Please note that wall screws and plugs are not included, as they must be chosen based on your specific wall material.
Safety and Warnings
Warning: Serious or fatal crushing injuries can occur from furniture falling down. To prevent this, the shelf must be securely attached to the wall using appropriate hardware. Assess your wall type to ensure it can withstand the load and consult a professional if you are uncertain about the correct mounting hardware.
Assembly Preparation
Before starting, ensure you have the following tools: a flat-head screwdriver, a Phillips-head screwdriver, and a spirit level. It is recommended to assemble the unit on a soft surface (like a rug) to prevent damage to the furniture or floor. Assembly should be performed by two people.

The assembly process involves connecting the shelf components using the provided cam locks, dowels, and screws. Follow the steps in numerical order:
- Steps 1-2: Prepare the shelf frame components by inserting the cam screws and dowels.
- Steps 3-6: Connect the side panels and frame supports, securing them with cam locks.
- Steps 7-8: Install the hanging rod and hooks into the frame.
- Steps 9-10: Finalize the frame structure by tightening all cam locks.
