Make sure you don’t touch the back of the shelf. Even if you don’t, clean it with alcohol or an alcohol wipe. Make sure the wall is clean and the paint isn’t flaking.

I’d advise using a spirit level.

Apply a Command Strip (peel off the side with the red writing) to each shelf, positioned in the middle of the back of the shelf, so that the removal tab sticks out to the side (it’ll be hidden behind the record or CD anyway). Press firmly and evenly through the back of the shelf onto a hard surface for several seconds to stick it firmly to the shelf.

Remove the remaining backing paper (with the black writing) and, after lining up carefully, press firmly on your chosen spot, making sure you only press on the back surface of the shelf. Press for a good 10 seconds, then leave them for a couple of hours before putting any weight on them.

For these smaller shelves you’re advised to remove the record from the sleeve. The weight limit for the shelves with a single Command Strip is 800g, so an empty sleeve will be fine. (I can’t be held responsible for anything going wrong if you choose to ignore this advice, but if you want to leave your records in their sleeves you could use two shelves side by side to distribute the weight, or use one of the other types of shelf I have - the screw-mounted ones, heavy duty ones, or bracket types. If you want to swap, just get in touch.)

You’ll find that new sleeves - doubles in particular - will open themselves up and push themselves away from the wall. After a few weeks of sitting in a shelf with others, that’ll settle down and they’ll be ok on the shelf, but if needs be you can always use a second shelf inverted at the top, or try the brackets I sell instead. (If you want to swap, give me a shout and you can return the ones you have and pay the difference to get the other type.)

Make sure you don’t touch the back of the shelf. Even if you don’t, clean it with alcohol or dish soap and dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth. Make sure the wall is clean and the paint isn’t flaking. If needed, clean with rubbing alcohol.

Once you’ve decided on your layout, drill a 6mm hole and then insert the Rawlplug (if appropriate - if drilling into a surface that doesn’t require plugs, drill a 3mm pilot hole, but seek help from a professional if you’re not sure).

Screw in the screw until the head is 5mm from the wall surface, then place the keyhole in the back of the shelf over the screw. Slide/push it down until it stops. (Only put pressure on the back of the shelf, not the bottom piece.)

It should be snug. If it isn’t, remove the shelf and tighten the screw a quarter turn. Repeat until it’s snug and the shelf is tight enough between the screw and wall.

There are pictures on the Etsy listing that will definitely help if any of the following doesn’t make sense.

Make sure the back of the bracket and the wall are clean and free of dust and grease. Clean both with an alcohol wipe or rubbing alcohol.

Spacing...

For horizontal spacing you probably want at least a 7.5cm (3") gap between your records so there’s room to slide them in and out. To achieve that, you need a 40cm (15.5") gap from the side of one bracket to the next. (If you want a wider spacing, increase this.)

Instructions...

* Place two Command Strips on the back of each bracket, with the removal tabs visible through the hole in the middle. (See pictures on the listing for example.) Make sure you stick the side with the red text to the back of the bracket. The black text side is for the wall.

* Using a spirit level, line your bottom bracket up first and then stick to the wall. Press firmly onto the wall through the back surface of the bracket for 10 seconds.

* Place a record sleeve on that bracket and fit a second bracket at the top so that the sleeve is held between the two, then stick it to the wall like the first one. Be careful to line it up vertically with the lower bracket. Remove the sleeve.

* Clip a little spacer block into the space on the back of each shelf (use the same size in both brackets). Use a fat one for a single LP, or a thinner one for thicker sleeves. Wait an hour before sliding your sleeve in from the side (just to ensure the adhesive has bonded properly).

These brackets will allow you to hold single, double or triple LPs, gatefold or otherwise.

Make sure you don’t touch the back of the bracket. Even if you don’t, clean it with alcohol or an alcohol wipe. Make sure the wall is clean and the paint isn’t flaking.

I’d advise using a spirit level and making marks or drawing lines to help you place your brackets.

1. I find it's easiest to choose a sleeve that has a geometric pattern so you can use that to line them all up perfectly. Pink Floyd's The Wall is perfect!

2. Clean the back of the bracket and the wall with an alcohol wipe or rubbing alcohol to ensure both are clean and free of dust and finger marks.

3. Make sure the wall is painted (not wall-papered - I don't care what anyone says, sticking an adhesive strip to wallpaper is a bad idea), is not flaking, and is flat (not textured like artex or woodchip). (The paint needs to be well-adhered to the wall. If paint peels away, that's a problem with the paint, not the Command Strips.)

4. Place the Command Strip on the back of a bracket, ensuring it doesn't overhang. Pay attention to the side you're sticking - it'll be the side with the red text that goes on the bracket, and the side with the black text goes on the wall. The removal tab will stick out the end, but make it so that’s the flat end and it'll be hidden by the record anyway. Press firmly through the back of the bracket for ten seconds onto a flat surface to stick the Strip firmly to the bracket.

5. I'd suggest you start with one of the bottom corners (see the listing for photos for how to lay them out relative to the sleeve). Remove the other backing strip, line up where you want the record to be on the wall (use a spirit level to ensure it's level) then remove the record and press firmly, with both hands, on the back surface of the bracket for another ten seconds. (It’s important to do the pressing twice - once when you put the strip on the bracket, and again when you stick the bracket to the wall. This will ensure they stick properly.)

6. Repeat this for the other bottom corner, then use the record sleeve to line up where the top one should go. I'd advise lifting it a mm or so off the top of the sleeve to make sure there's enough room to slide a sleeve in and out. Some sleeves are slightly bigger than others so it’s a good idea just to double check you’re not using a particularly small one before you do this.

7. Leave it at least two hours before putting anything on them and check they’re stuck firmly.

Use a spirit level!

If drilling, use the included drill guide and drill according to the instructions written on it. (You can place the template on the wall and then use a pencil to push through and make a mark at each cross.)

Make sure your screw heads are 5mm from the surface of the wall and slide the shelf over the screws. It should be quite snug, but if not then you can tighten the screws a quarter turn at a time until it is.

If using sticky tabs, avoid touching the back of the shelf but whether you do or not, clean the shelf and the wall with an alcohol wipe or rubbing alcohol before placing all three strips on the back of the shelf, side by side. Press firmly against the wall for 10 seconds. Leave it a couple of hours before putting anything on it, then enjoy. (The weight limit for a shelf with sticky tabs is 900g (about 2lb) so don’t put anything heavier than that on it.)

(If you have trouble getting anything to stand up you probably have newer records, in which case you can place a sticky tab shelf upside down above the Now Playing shelf - use a record sleeve to measure where to put it - which will act like a bracket to hold the sleeve in place.)

There are a few different types of divider letters so please check which ones you’ve ordered, since each type has its own suitability.

The small letters with a single thin tab should be attached to some cardstock or something similar.

The small letters with a taller tab will work fine with CDs and paperback books. With records or varying-sized hardback books your mileage will vary depending on how tight they are together and whether or not you keep them in plastic sleeves. If they’re tight and uniform, you should be fine without anything adding, but if they’re looser, or stored in plastic sleeves, you may need to attach them to some cardstock or similar material.

The flat rectangular dividers should all work fine on their own whatever you’re organising, but if the things being divided are all higgledy-piggledy then you may find they work better attached to some card-stock or similar material.

Make sure the back of the wall piece and the wall itself are clean, free of grease and not dusty. Use an alcohol wipe or rubbing alcohol to clean them both. Decide where you want to place your shelf.

Make sure you have the backing piece the right way up: the larger of the little protruding ridges on the front should be at the bottom. Place a Command Strip (red text side) on the back of this piece so that the removal tab is facing downwards. Press on this firmly against a flat surface for 10 seconds.

Next, insert the shelf into the backing piece. There’s a pair of small notches on the shelf that should sit either side of the backing piece, so that the shelf is centred. It’ll be quite a tight fit but just push it in straight and firm until it’s fully seated.

Finally, remove the final backing paper from the Command Strip (black text side) and then press firmly against the wall for 10 seconds in your chosen spot. Leave it a couple of hours before you put anything on it and then you’re good to go.

Place a Command Strip (red text side) on the back of this piece so that the removal tab is facing downwards. Press on this firmly against a flat surface for 10 seconds. (Do this for a pair of shelf pieces.)

Next, insert the two shelf pieces into a pair of backing pieces. They’ll be quite a tight fit but just push them in straight and firm until they’re fully seated.

Take your spacer and push the shelf pieces onto it so that you have your shelf pair held together. (You can see this in the photo.)

Finally, remove the final backing paper from the Command Strips (black text side) and then press firmly against the wall for 10 seconds in your chosen spot. You can remove the spacer once the shelf is in place on the wall. Leave it a couple of hours before you put anything on it and then you’re good to go.

You’ll find two different types of sticky tab - Small Command Strips (white ones) and No More Nails Removable Strips (yellow ones). The Command Strips are for the bigger bracket, which goes on the bottom, and the No More Nails strips are for the smaller one, which goes on the top.

Check that the brackets and wall are free from fingerprints, grease or dust. Clean both with an alcohol wipe or rubbing alcohol.

Start by placing two Command Strips (peel off the side with the red writing) on the back of the bigger bracket, so that the removal tabs are pointing upwards. Line up carefully and, after peeling the side with the black writing, press firmly on the back surface of the shelf against the wall for 10 seconds, then leave it for a couple of hours.

Next, place a No More Nails strip on the smaller bracket. (It doesn’t matter which side is which for the No More Nails strips.) Put a CGC slab on the bottom bracket and then place your smaller bracket over the top so that the slab is held in place between the two, then slide the slab out the side and press firmly on the back surface of the top bracket to stick it to the wall. Leave it for a couple of hours, then slide your CGC slab back into place.

Make sure the back of the shelves and the wall are clean and free of dust. Clean with alcohol wipes or rubbing alcohol.

Ideally the comic book should be in a plastic wallet/sleeve. If not you might find it slumps a bit, though you can mitigate that a bit by inserting a piece of cardstock.

Place sticky tabs on the back of a pair of brackets and decide where you want to place them on the wall. Line up your bottom bracket and remove the backing paper from the sticky tab, then press firmly on the back surface of the shelf against the wall for 10 seconds. Leave for a couple of hours before putting any weight on it.

Next, place a comic on the shelf and line up where the top bracket needs to be. Slide the comic out and repeat the process of pressing firmly and leaving. Finally, add the comic back in and enjoy.

For the wall-mounted frames, place all four No More Nails Removable Strips on the back of the frame and press firmly onto the wall for 10 seconds. Leave for a few hours before putting anything in the frame. You can also use screws through the holes in the back.

For all stands and frames, you’ll see a small nub on the right-hand-side of the inner edge of the frame. This is to hold the DVD or Blu-ray case. You should put the case in left-side first, then push the right-hand-side in so that it clips in.

Make sure the back of the GameTile and the wall are clean and free of dust and grease. Clean with an alcohol wipe or rubbing alcohol.

Make sure you have the GameTile the right way up: the gap in the back should be towards the bottom. Place a Command Strip (red text side) on the back so that the removal tab is facing into this gap. Press on it firmly against a flat surface for 10 seconds.

Next, remove the final backing paper from the Command Strip (black text side) and then press firmly against the wall for 10 seconds in your chosen spot. Leave it a couple of hours before you put a game in your GameTile.

To insert a game, slide in from the bottom and then push in. The lip inside the top will hold the game in.

To remove a game, press the top of the game and the bottom will poke out slightly, then just hook a finger under the bottom and take the game out. (You might find you need to push the game cartridge upwards slightly when you press in the top. Although all games are supposed to be the same size, there are some very slight differences that might make some tighter than others.)

Make sure the back of the frame and the wall are clean and free of dust and grease. Clean with an alcohol wipe or rubbing alcohol.

Make sure you have the frame the right way up: there’s a gap at the top to slide the card in. Place a Command Strip (red text side) on each of the rectangular sections on the back so that the removal tab is facing downwards. Press on them firmly against a flat surface for 10 seconds.

Next, remove the final backing paper from the Command Strip (black text side) and then press firmly against the wall for 10 seconds in your chosen spot.
