Ikea ones are ok IMO. OK for books and other light stuff.
Are you planning on sitting on it

Harry Houdini had some
Old f'kir you !
These are Ikea shelves. Only problem is that the screws provided are nothing like long enough - just about go through the plaster! You need at least 3½" screws, done up very tight, with decent rawplugs to make sure they are properly fixed to the wall.
Chem fixings ought to do the trick
