Thank you for your replies. The 1 cm is plaster. Would putting 1 cm screws + 1 cm wall plugs be enough to hold a 1 kg weight? What else can I try to put up a shelf in this situation? Thank you so much and look forward to creative solutions! :)

hello dear DIYers, I live in a tower block and I have a corner where I want to put up a small shelf (the blue rectangle). The corner pillar seems to be made out of steel/concrete. I tried (hammer) drill, it only goes in 1 cm. Also tried wire nails, after 1 cm, they get bent out of shape...

Dear all, thank you again for all your insights. After consideration, I have decided that steel framing is not feasible with my time and engineering constraints. I have made a little one at 1m x 1m with a 30cm diameter wooden dome stuck to it under the wobble floor and it seems to work...

thank you all for your insights. mointainwalker > good idea. i would need at least 2, because i want people to wobble each other out, and let's say maximum of 3 people. so the maximum weight would be 250 kg. RedHerring2 > i think steel frame is a good idea. ill ask metal works people...
