???? We can the? Adding shelf? to? storage display space in your home can be a snap. Here's how to mount a simple wooden shelf and two brackets to a wall.How should we install shelf ? Let's take a look!

???? First we buy screws if you don't have a supply at home or if they don't come with the brackets (see Tips).Find the wall studs; you'll fasten the brackets to them (see 'eHow to Locate Wall Studs').

??? Then we test-drill the holes to make sure they are going into wood rather than wallboard. If there is no stud in a convenient place and the shelf is not going to carry more than a few pounds, you may be able to settle for using hollow-wall anchors (see 'eHow to Install Screws and Anchors in Walls').Determine where you want the bottom edge of the shelf to sit, then mark the position in pencil, using a carpenter's level as a guide.
