[SparklyEyess]

i bought the small squared one how do you install those, they don't come with the materials to install them plz help

@SparklyEyess haven't installed one, instructions should be in the box?

How much weight can this shelf handle???

Does the packaging specify?

I plan to use it as a book shelf.Mostly small novels ,no large textbooks

Good video but would have liked some play by play commentary.

Good job .Please help.

@alswisdom if installed properly it will handle quite a bit, I'd say 20-30lbs, not sure if the box says anything or not.

I need to cut the sides down, but want to make sure the bracket still fits. How far away are the sides from the edge of the bracket? Thanks for the video

[stevieontario]

@bizsooner09 there is at least a few inches on each side you can cut off I guess, you should look at the EKBY series if you need to cut to size.

@stevieontario Thanks!

But what I've learned from this vid is that in trying to install the shelf in the wrong side. The screws should be facing up - I had them facing down lol. Thanks for the upload!

[stevieontario]

@Mel3456 depends on how high or low the shelf is, if its high the should go in the top, if it was really low they can go in the bottom, wherever they are less seen :-)

I bought the same shelf but the bracket doesn't have the two pieces that come out like yours does. Maybe that's because I got mine in Canada. Anyway your video comes at the perfect time for me because I've been having some difficulties with the shelf, especially when it comes making wholes in my cement wall

what is that black bracket that you slide the lack shelf into? does that come with the shelf?

[stevieontario]

@kpl688 yes it does.
