I just received these. How do I extend the three legs longer so it will stand? The middle bar is longer, so it won't stand up.

First, loosen the knob that's at the top of the legs (counter-clockwise turn). Next, reach to the bottom of the stand, wrap your fingers around one leg, push it out slightly so that it protrudes between the two flat bars, repeat for each leg. Then go back to the top of the legs, where the knob is located, and press the triple hinged area downward towards the floor. The legs should begin to expand outward. If you still have trouble, reach back down and pull each leg out a bit more as instructed earlier, then go back to the knob area and continue pressing down. Press downward until the legs have expanded and the flat bars are perpendicular to the ground. Then turn the knob, clockwise, at the top of the legs to lock them in place.

loosen knob on the shaft and spread the three legs out and then re tighten the knob.

My unit arrived with one of the hanger bar supports unusable. I contacted Whitmor customer service and they sent a replacement part right away. Maybe you can get extra shelves through them.

Yes, I did that when I first put them together. Easy fix if u take the stool off the stand were the lever is. Try raising it after turning it either left or right. Raise n lower it n than tighten bolts again

You have to find some pliers and in tighten the metal pieces and adjust to the desired length. P.s. The instructions are on the back. Hoped I help.

No ma'am. I accidentally made the same mistake. I had to fabricate some steel flat 4" bars to bolt it in the middle. They aren't long enough.

Put the foot stands on first; then slide the bar inside. You may have to toggle the bar a bit; but it slides in the opening quite well.

Did you figure it out and do you know if they can be removed to adjust the height? I'm trying to move mine up and can't seem to.

Make sure that the legs are out the whole way. If they aren't, it will not raise or lower. Also sometimes you have to lift up a little bit on the vertical bar in order to depress the lift/lower button. Hope this helps.

There was enough spring in the uprights, just pull them apart. Put the cross bar in one end and push on it while pulling on the other upright.

The top section of legs did not land quite right without the shelf in place to spread them out. Mine would have been WAY to wobbly if I left off the bottom pieces. You could always go to a hardware store and buy shorter legs for the bottom section. They usually carry legs that have the same bolt at the store and if you painted them white you would never notice the difference but it is only going to knock off a few inches if you do it that way.

These supports adjust very easily. Place them in the middle of your frame and attach to your side rails be it wood etc. I just laid mine over my wood rails and wood screwed them to hold into position. The supports slide to fit your frame, adjust the height and the tighten the L screw by hand and your done.

It looks like there's a kit to add add'l 5" length to the legs, available on Amazon. I haven't purchased either yet, so can't recommend. But I noticed them and then saw your question, so thought I would mention.

Hi Helena, I guess theres no trick...too much of muscle power.. I had this problem, i somehow forced it into the base and it is stuck forever now i guess the two side bars went inside the middle one is out...but its locked

Are you sure you have the right pieces in the right order? I did not experience any difficulty stabiling my stand. perhaps you could try putting the base together first, making sure it's secure,then adding top/higher pieces? Am sorry, this prob isn't much help, but mine was fine.....

Your center support bar is upside down, unscrew it and flip it over. The handle bars are suppose to extend outward.
