Practical Notes
Ensure timber used is properly seasoned as per IS 1141 to prevent warping or sagging of shelves over time.
Pay attention to the quality and load-bearing capacity of the shelf support pins (hardware), as these are the typical failure points for adjustable shelving.
Moisture content of the wood should be strictly verified against IS 287 to match the climatic zone of the final installation site.
