Olive here, reporting live from under the boss's desk! I've been sniffing around, and apparently, humans have a lot of trouble with things called "shelves" staying on "walls." Honestly, if it's not food-related, sometimes I just don't get it. But my humans at WoodSnap say it's important!
So, I had a little chat (mostly barking and tail wags) with the team, and they've put together a super important (and slightly less slobbery than my chew toys) guide on The Ultimate Guide to Wall Shelf Hardware. It's all about how to make sure your cool stuff stays up and doesn't end up on the floor... where I might mistake it for a new toy. Woof!
Here’s Olive's paw-some summary:
-
Wobbly bits? Some humans use these flimsy plastic things. I say, if it can't hold my favorite squeaky hedgehog, it's not good enough for your shelf!
-
The Big Dogs (Toggle Bolts): These are like the big, strong dogs of the hardware world. They hold on tight, just like I hold onto my ball at the park.
-
Finding the "Stud": My humans get really excited when they find a stud. I think it's like when I find a really good stick! If you find one, your shelf is basically glued to the wall. No wobbles!
Why all this fuss, you ask? Because we want your WoodSnap shelves to be as happy and secure as I am when I get belly rubs!
Got a weird, empty corner that's just begging for some love (and maybe a treat jar)? Our Corner Wall Shelves are perfect for those nooks. They're like little hideaways for your treasures! Just make sure whatever you put on them isn't too tempting for a curious pup like me.
And if you want your walls to look snazzy and hold all your favorite things (I recommend chew toys and bones, personally), check out our Simple & Sturdy Wall Shelves. They look super stylish, and trust me, if they can handle my occasional lean-in for a sniff, they can handle your books!

*P.S. If you hear a crash, it's probably not your shelf... it's just me practicing my "dramatic fall" for attention. Kidding! (Mostly.) *
