These shelf types can either be floor-based or wall-hanged. The choice is open to customers. They can install them in any way they prefer to install them within their home settings. They are cleverly designed, and you don’t have to worry about space since they can only be fitted in corners, so they don’t take up much space.
5) Top-Hung Shelves
Unlike corner shelves, top-hung shelves can easily take up space. They are more widely used in classrooms & storerooms. They are commonly used to display items such as books, pens, stationery & magazines. As far as the assembly goes, these shelves are held up in a metal section usually mounted on the walls from which the shelves and droppers are easily hung. These shelf types are not the best option for walls that are made up of light material. If you have drywall at your home, we don’t recommend this shelf type at any cost. They also serve incredibly well in modern home kitchens.
