Hello everyone,
I want to securely mount some Malm shelves from IKEA on the wall in my apartment. Since these are relatively large and heavy shelves, the stability of the installation is especially important to me. I have a drywall with wood studs behind it. I am unsure which anchors to use and how to ensure the shelf will not eventually pull away from the wall.
Could you please explain step by step how to best install the shelves? Which screws and anchors are recommended, especially for drywall? Is there anything special to consider regarding alignment and load distribution?
I look forward to your tips and experiences!
