Strong Little Support Pins

I recently bought a freestanding wardrobe at a flea market (for $1). Outside oak and oak veneer. The interior looks like it's made from Formica-faced chipboard, with pre-drilled holes to support two adjustable formica-faced chipboard shelves. heavier than the shelves themselves. I put "order new shelf support pens" on my to-do list and didn't bother ordering new pens until I was woken up in the middle of the night by a loud TRES. The shelf support pins are slightly tapered. They are narrower at the pin end than at the temple end. They didn't fully fit the holes with a finger press. I tapped each pin lightly with a small end hammer and they fully seated. The pack of 8 pegs had just enough pegs to support the two shelves in the closet. longer than the flimsy plastic support pins that came with my cabinet and the prime line support pins also have a hole on each end of the shelf support that can be used to attach screws to each shelf for extra stability and support. The shelves are all back in the closet and now they are stable and secure. This 8 post pack costs almost triple what I paid for a freestanding cabinet, but they have transformed it from an unstable and dangerous storage space into a useful storage space.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
