Hi
I'm trying to put up an Ikea Ekby Alex shelf onto a plasterboard wall which is hollow and has no studs.
I tried using self drill plasterboard fixings but as soon as a bit of weight was put on the shelf it ripped out of the wall.
Is there anything I can use to fix the shelf to the wall ? Are gripits any good?
Also with there being no studs to secure it to is there a risk of the weight of the shelf pulling the plasterboard down?
Thanks for any advice.
