Common mistakes when installing shelves include failing to locate and anchor into wall studs (relying solely on weak drywall anchors), not using a spirit level to ensure the shelf is completely straight, ignoring maximum weight capacity limits, and using improper hardware for masonry versus drywall surfaces. Another frequent error is making the span between shelf supports too wide, which causes wood boards to sag over time under the weight of books or heavy decor items. Taking time to measure accurately prevents structural failure.
