shelving

Pardon my complete lack of knowledge and stupid questions, but I’m trying to figure out how best to put IKEA lack shelves on a party wall. Ideally two that would span pretty much the whole width of the wall. I understand they wouldn’t have a huge max load capacity, but can consider other options...

I bought some Rhino Shelves a while ago for my bedroom for books. They are all level and built correctly but the seem to wobble. It was suggested to to me to buy some brackets to anchor them to the wall to stop this. I would need to drill holes in the shelves and then the concrete wall. Its...

Hi all. I recently moved house and am trying to get the study sorted. I have mounted the wall rails for some shelves I had in my old house, but unfortunately most of the shelf brackets were lost during the move. I've bought a few others online that are the same length (170mm) but none of them...

Hi folks. I bought a floating shelf with associated brackets to fix to a tiled wall in a shower room. I drilled and plugged for the brackets between tiles (ie: on the grout line) to avoid cracking any tiles. The rawlplugs and screws are substantial and the brackets, once in place, feel really...

Currently looking at embarking on a first ‘ground up’ DIY project (not too complicated for my first one) which involves construction of some bespoke cabinets and shelving in a little alcove we’ve got. Focusing on the shelving, my plan currently is to have three levels of single piece 1 1/2”...

Hi all. I'm planning to put up some shelves on walls with plasterboards. I've already done that on another wall, a perimetral one made up as 12mm boards - cavity - bricks. I drilled a couple of exploration holes into an internal wall (in spots where the wall was sounding hollow), and it seems...

Hi, looking for some advice or ideas to make a project I have in mind come to life. I am looking to add clear acrylic covers to the shelving I have attached an image of below. Purpose: cover the fronts of my shelving to stop dust gathering on my ornaments, while also looking aesthetically like a...

Hi all, I'm looking to replace my existing shelving unit with a newer bigger version, and wondered if there were recommendations for items to look at - it's a reasonable size I have to fill, so anything around 1800mm x 1200mm x 60mm would fit. Doesn't need to hold massive weight. Prefer a...

Hi everyone! I just wanted ask whether instead of using MDF for shelf cladding, I could use plasterboard cut to size and screwed onto the wooden frame? I think it might work, but this is my first big DIY project. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
