How to Put a Big Corner Bookcase Around a Corner: Expert Guide with Aquzee Large 5-Tier Corner Bookcase
Installing a Big Corner Bookcas can transform unused corners into functional, stylish storage spaces. However, maneuvering a unit like the Aquzee Large 5-Tier Corner Bookcase into place requires careful planning. In this guide, we’ll walk you through step-by-step tips to assemble, position, and optimize your corner bookcase—ensuring it fits seamlessly while maximizing space and aesthetics.
1. Pre-Installation Prep: Measure Your Space
Before unboxing your Aquzee Large 5-Tier Corner Bookcase, start by measuring the corner area:
-
Wall dimensions: Note the height, width, and diagonal length of the corner.
-
Clearance space: Ensure there’s enough room to maneuver the unit into place (ideally 2–3 feet of clearance).
-
Obstacles: Check for baseboards, vents, or outlets that might interfere with placement.
Pro Tip:
Use painter’s tape to outline the bookcase’s footprint on the floor. This helps visualize fit and alignment.
2. Assemble Strategically (Near the Corner)
The Aquzee Large 5-Tier Corner Bookcase comes with modular parts designed for easy assembly. Follow these steps:
-
Lay out parts: Organize shelves, panels, and hardware in the target corner to minimize post-assembly lifting.
-
Build vertically: Assemble the unit upright near the corner to avoid awkward maneuvering later.
-
Secure shelves: Attach adjustable shelves loosely first, then tighten screws once the unit is positioned.
Why This Works:
Assembling close to the final location reduces strain and prevents damage to walls or the bookcase.
3. Position the Bookcase with the “Pivot & Slide” Method
For tight spaces, use this technique to angle the Aquzee Corner Bookcase into place:
-
Tilt the unit: Gently tilt the bookcase backward (protect floors with a blanket).
-
Pivot diagonally: Rotate the bookcase 45 degrees to align with the corner’s angle.
-
Slide into place: Lower the unit while sliding it toward the corner.
Safety Note:
Enlist a helper to stabilize the bookcase during this process, especially for taller units.
4. Adjust for Uneven Walls
Most corners aren’t perfectly square. Ensure a snug fit with these fixes:
-
Use shims: Place thin wooden shims behind the bookcase to fill gaps caused by uneven walls.
-
Anchor to studs: Secure the Aquzee Bookcase to wall studs using L-brackets to prevent tipping and improve alignment.
5. Optimize Storage and Aesthetics
Once positioned, style your Aquzee Large 5-Tier Corner Bookcase for functionality and visual appeal:
-
Weight distribution: Place heavier items (books, decor) on lower shelves to stabilize the unit.
-
Decorate vertically: Use the top shelves for lightweight plants or framed photos to draw the eye upward.
-
Add lighting: Install LED strip lights inside to highlight displayed items.
6. Troubleshooting Common Issues
Problem: The bookcase protrudes into the room.
Solution: Angle floating shelves above the unit to create a built-in look and save floor space.
Problem: Doors/windows near the corner block access.
Solution: Choose open shelving units like the Aquzee Bookcase, which allow airflow and easy reach.
