Hello,

I want to make two shelves from the offcuts. These will be mounted "floating" on the wall (Poroton). There are special fixing anchors for this, but they have poor reviews, among other things. Actually, you could also use simple threaded rods, right?
Does anyone have experience with this and possibly tips for the fastening materials?

PS: The board is oak, 40mm (1.6 inches) thick and 150mm (6 inches) deep.

It was said that with shelf supports, the board does not sit flush against the wall and "wobbles."
If the board is properly milled and drilled, nothing wobbles. And if the board doesn’t sit flush everywhere, it might also be due to an uneven wall ;-)

I had ready-made boards mounted on the wall with these supports for years (from Hülsta), and they were rock solid – but they were precisely made. A layperson with “cheap tools” might not get it that perfect and could be unhappy.
