Details

We have 7 shelves to hang using brackets, however when we tried doing this ourselves, we've hit something spongy on the right side of the wall which keeps pushing the anchors out before we can even get to the screw (insulation?). Wondering if this can be easily addressed using better suited anchors or tools. The shelves are heavy and will be used for books, so it is crucial they are installed properly with no risk of falling. Thanks, Joyce PS: I have posted some photos in the comment section

this is the wall for the 7 shelves. please ignore the bookcase, the shelves are meant to replace it (7 shelves like the fixed one with brackets at the very top. we had to stop after the first given the issue.)

Hi Joyce I hope you are well? Are you in a new build? And if so is it apartments? You may have wiring/pipework running behind the partition. And you are trying to drill too close in to the corner.

Can you send a picture of this please and also the size of the shelves. Will have to consider a few things here. Whats on the other side of the wall? Another room?

7 shelves and brackets just like in this picture. this is the one we tried installing and the bracket on the left is in the right position (about 5cm from the edge of the shelf). However when trying to fix the right shelf 5cm from that corner, we hit that softer texture inside the wall and as a result had to move the bracket further to the right; so now it is incorrectly fixed straight against the wall at the same level as the shelf's edge, when we would prefer it 5cm further to the left.

Hi, What kind of wall ? Please send some pic of shelf and existing job you done . Thanks
