🔩 Pack of 8 Prime-Line Products U 10171 Shelf Support Pegs, 5mm Steel with Nickel Plating Review

I built the cabinet 4ft wide so I used two posts at each end and one at the back center of the shelf. Be careful with the size of the hole you drill and try a spare piece of wood if you are unsure.

I was looking for a solution to prevent the shelves from falling. I tried using these shelf supports in combination with 3/4" wood screws. I thought the shelf would sit in the L-shaped portion of the bracket, but…

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.
