Hello everyone,
I’m planning to install a Billy shelf in my rental apartment, but I definitely want to avoid drilling since drilling is usually not allowed or requires a lot of effort in rental properties. Therefore, I’m looking for reliable methods and products suitable for mounting a Billy shelf without drilling. It is important to me that the solution is stable enough to securely attach the shelf to the wall without slipping or losing its hold.
Does anyone know tested alternatives to conventional wall plugs and screws? Perhaps there are special adhesive or clamp techniques? I’m also interested in which wall materials (e.g., drywall, plaster, concrete) work best for drill-free mounting and what loads can be supported.
I look forward to helpful experiences, tips, and suggestions to assist with my project.
Thanks in advance!

Adhesive mounts are only an option when no heavy weight is expected. For Billy shelves that will be loaded, such mounts are usually unsuitable.
For lighter shelves or decorations, 3M Command Strips work well, but for fully loaded shelves, tension brackets or clamp systems are necessary. Important: use tested products, not cheap, low-quality solutions.
