Hello everyone, I am currently planning to install an IKEA Besta shelving unit in my apartment and am wondering which furniture fasteners are best suited for this. It is important to me that the fasteners are not only strong enough to securely fix the shelving to the wall but also make the installation as easy as possible. Additionally, it would be helpful to know if the choice of fasteners should be particularly adapted to the type of wall (e.g., concrete, drywall) or if there are general recommendations for the Besta system. Does anyone have practical experience or can compare different fastening solutions? Thank you in advance!

If you have drywall, you should use toggle bolts or metal molly bolts. The IKEA plastic anchors are more suited for light loads.
For concrete, simple anchors with matching screws are sufficient.
Also, make sure to hang the shelves so that the load is evenly distributed.
