With floating shelves, your issue is going to be with anchoring the things. Again, how much weight. __________________ John Schaben "Where all think alike, no one is thinking very much" To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

How hidden must the hardware be when shelves are empty? When filled? How much weight do you anticipate putting on them? Are you renting this apartment? Your landlord may have some ideas to express as to what kind of shelving you hang? And how. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.
