Direct Mounted Shelves..


Yep, no hangers or supports, they mount directly into the wall..

This is not the easiest thing in the world to do. You have to:

Find the studs (use a magnet).

Drill holes into the studs, perfectly straight and avoid the nails (use a magnet).

Drill perfect holes into the Shelves, good luck!

Cut threaded rod that barely fits into the holes and then drive them into the wall with a hammer;

Now, bang the shelves into place, but tweak the threaded rods in the wall with a hammer first, and make sure they are level. The blue tape was there to even up one edge of all of the shelves. It all looks cool, but it's a lot of work.

Oh, did I mention to be sure to drill the holes 3.5" each way, and cut the rod into 6.5" lengths..a very important lesson learned!
