Flip-flop LERBERG shelving
Materials: LERBERG, drill, 2.5" screws, drywall anchors, stud finder
Description: 1. Install the shelves on your Lerberg shelf unit upside-down from the way they appear in the instructions.
2. Though two holes already exist near the top on the flat side of the unit, drill a few more up the length of the legs. These will be the holes you use to anchor the shelf into the wall.
3. Determine where you want to hang the shelf, marking where the holes you drilled will fall on the wall.
4. Take a stud finder to determine if you will be able to anchor them into a stud (ideal scenario) or whether you will need to use drywall anchors.
5. Use 2.5" screws either directly into the stud or into drywall anchors* and hang the shelf on the wall.
6. Fill your shelf up with books and enjoy your newly freed floor space.
*If you have not been able to anchor the legs into a stud it is highly recommended that you drill additional holes in the back of the each shelf and screw them directly into a stud for extra support.

Brilliant! Looks like it's meant for it.
ReplyDeleteAh I'll put my comment here instead of the horrid facebook thing.
ReplyDelete"Heh, I did that too although I had the "feet" touching the ceiling. Kinda gave the effect that it was hanging from it. Anyway well done for having an obviously superb brain."
I agree with Anonymous, I think it looks better upside-down than it does right-way-up.
Note to any inspired souls - put the shelves in before you wall mount it, turning an allen key with zero clearance is a pain in the arse.
It's great. ;)
ReplyDeleteReally looks nice but I would have cut the legs.
ReplyDeleteyes either cut the legs or add a shelf across the top, maybe make space for light artwork or plants or accessories.
