Thank you!
Very good tip
What diameter to be drilled?
here in the US we call it Liquid Nails
Have you considered mounting it the studs instead of drywall?
What’s the purpose of drilling the final screw in the middle under the shelf?
How the hell does adding some adhesive to the fixings all of sudden bring it into level? Extra strength yes, level? Get real!
This is a terrible way to fix the bracket. I suggest the following: (1)Fix middle screw as per video but tighten.(2) Drill through other screw holes using a drill the size of the hole. This avoids the possinility of the drill wandering when drilling over a pencil mark. Masonry drills do not hold their position well especially on hard walls. (3) Loosen bracket out holes to suit plugs. (4) Fit bracket and if loose as described in video use PVC tape around end of protruding rods until a snug fit is achieved. This will allow the shelve to be easily removed for subsequent changes you wish to make(5) Do not use sticky tape on walls since likely to mark walls also such small envelopes will not catch all of the dust. Better to hold a running vacuum cleaner hose below holes when being drilled or put a towel on the ground and vacuum afterwards.
What size screws???
What size screws?
Hi, I’m a complete DIY newbie, and I need some advice on installing this shelf model on the wall of my living room. Here in Ireland, the walls are made of drywall, and I’ll need to drill some holes to install the wall plugs required to attach the shelf. I’ve noticed that when I knock on certain spots on the wall, the sound is duller, like there might be a stud or something behind it. Should I be concerned about this? Is it possible that there’s something behind the wall that shouldn’t be drilled into, and that I should avoid making holes there? I will probably have to drill both areas to place the shelf tho. Thanks so much in advance for your help!

I installed the same IKEA one but mine is sagging. Why is that? Please help thanks
Craig!!
On the next Episode: How to explain your Landlord, that he needs a new wall, when you move out
bro really glued it to the wall lol
A rattling shelf 🤔 how do you use your shelves 😂
Why wasn’t it shown on camera that the shelf was level?
does not tell us what he is drilling at 4:30
3 inch screws into the studs, why glue it? The shelf will break before the screw or stud does.
That just trebled the price of the actual shelf… Cheers
what size rawl plugs do you need for a 50mm screw?
Here in the states, is multi use like liquid nails?
Glass, and puts bottles of poison on it 😢
Now try to remove it lmao 😂
I wonder if you could do something similar with putting sealant in the holes but put some cling film around the brackets to make a removable version🤔
dumbest wall bracket idea yet. its as week as the tiny little itsy-bitsy screws that are only anchored into wall board . get real!!!
I can imagine what those screw heads look like now, pop pop pop. 😂
THE DUMBEST THING EVER NEVER ABLE TO DECORATE THAT WALL AGAIN OR REMOVE THE BLOODY SHELF???????
Hi, what kind of sealant can i e for this?
Using adhesive doesn’t sound like a good Idea, I fitted one of these, yes there is a small amount of movement, not enough to glue the shelf.
Yeah… well, that’s one way to never be able to take that shelf down.
That’s part of the house now…
That’s all well and fine until you want to remove the shelf. Be prepared to make a major wall repair.
What’s with the foot long drill bit? 🤣🤣
Those little envelopes will come in handy when you’re taking that shelf out again
Is the the same Craig who was in (and won?) Big Brother about 20 years ago?
Yikes!
I put all screws plus plugs in, 5 books on there and it bends like a mf
for the love of GOD, dont use glue it down.
Hey is that the bruh from like Big Brother in 1998 ?
Waste of 3 envelopes. Could have used just one
can you use a short level to balance the 74" Lack shelf from the center?
at least my jobs look as crap as craigs.
This is a great video except ill never be able to remove this "cheap and cheerful" shelf …ir have to rip it out!! And if the shelf was damaged and i wanted to replace woth just the shelf, id never be able to.
TLDR: He suggests gluing it to wall and never being able to take it off (for sure people buying IKEA furniture are buying it for life…)
Jesus you had to bend the pins a bit
Can’t have the beverages falling off mate
Make it extra 💪 STRONG
What do you call that blue device that he uses to detect if there are any cables behind the drilling spot?
So you don’t get to take the shelf down since you more or less glued it to the wall. Also wouldn’t you want to try and get at least one of those wall mounts screwed into a wall stud?
