1) Books are heavy,so it is essential that wall-mounted bookshelves are firmly secured to a sound,solid wall,with sturdy fittings.
2) Most shop-bought wall units come with fixings but if you make your own shelves,make sure you use the correct fixtures and screws for the supports and the type of wall.
3) Adjustable systems are more flexible than fixed shelves.The shelves are carried on brackets,that slope or clip into vertical support strips,screwed to the wall.Shelves can be moved up or down easily.
4) Choose a bookcase that has shelves of varying heights,to suit paperbacks,encyclopedias and at least one size in between.
