These shelves make this wall look so much more complete. We now have beautiful, floating shelves in our living room. Once the shelves were attached together, we were done. And once I decorate the shelves, it will be even less noticeable. They aren’t perfect, but it’s barely noticeable. We made sure to use a level to get the shelves to match up as close as possible. To match up the two shelves and get rid of the uneven gap, we tightened mending plates down using screws. We attached the mending plates evenly spaced on the upper shelves. You can’t really see anything from the ground so no one would notice the plates. On the upper shelf, it wasn’t as big of a deal, because that shelf is so high up on the wall. That way, you wouldn’t be able to see the plate. On the lower shelf, we installed the mending plates toward the back of the shelves against the wall. To make the shelves look like one complete piece, we attached them together using a few mending plates. Once the shelves were installed, you could tell where the gap was between the two different sizes.
#IKEA LACK SHELF BRACKET INSTALL#
To attach the shelves to the wall, you first install a metal bracket.Īfter it’s securely attached to the wall, the shelf just slips over the bracket and you attach the two pieces together with some screws along the back of the shelf. We attached the smaller shelf first on the left side. This allowed us to mark off the floating shelves locations using a pencil.Īfter the locations we marked, we installed each shelf. Then, we adjusted it to create a level line on the media center wall. We attached the level to the wall on the opposite side of the room.
