Can I use these strips for floating shelves (about 7.5 pounds) ?

I think it would really depend on what you were going to put on the shelf. You'd probably want a pack a shelf just to be safe. I have a moderately sized white board (probably 5+ lbs) that has been hanging just fine with two strips.

I definitely wouldn't..7.5lbs seems very heavy. Especially for shelving that you will probably add more weight to.

Yes, I believe you can. I don't know what you plan on putting on the shelves, i.e., how heavy the items will be. What I did hanging my heavy shadow box of rock was use 4 strips instead of 2. There hasn't been one inch of the box slipping. Good luck

Might work on bottom 3 shelves but not the top. Should have no problem holding the weight but may be too wobbly

The strips are pretty narrow so it shouldn't be an issue at all. We also needed it for a small gap in the door. And they are easy to cut. These are great!

No. I seriously don't think those Command strips would hold the total weight of the stand with a tablet. Would suggest 3M Outdoor Mounting Tape.

I believe you could use this for paperbacks providing the height isn't higher than a dvd/blu ray disc packaging. Not sure about the amount of weight the shelves can take.

Yes, you can, but make sure that you buy the support brackets that hold the shelf up as these are not included with the shelf.

It would work, but you wouldn't want to do it. Whereas the shelf corners slide down over the vertical corner bars and stop wherever you decide to snap on the plastic stops for each corner, the shelf will now be "upside down", and would have support stringers interfering with your having a fully flat shelf surface. Sure, you'd have a modest 1" lip, but the structural support of the shelf itself would be lessened and the flatness of the surface would also be compromised. The plastic stops don't discriminate as the whether the shelf is upside down, or right side up. The difference will be in how the shelf performs long term, as the structure will no longer be underneath. For light items, probably not a big deal: for heavier items, the shelf will hold less weight since the weight would now be working against the way it was designed...in extreme cases, it could bend.

Yes in the sense that they're plastic and won't rust or corrode, but there may be better options. I don't know about floating.

I don't see why you couldn't. I don't use them for that but they are pretty strong! Also found them in Walmart at a cheaper price and there's no shipping charge!

Yes, they work well on 12" shelf. I would probably buy 12" for 14" shelf, depending on weight to be supported.

I don't think so.... they tend to slip around (if you stack them) a bit and I don't think they would be secure enough. Perhaps they could be (super)glued together, but then I don't know what weight they are rated for. Certainly look better than most risers, but for this use.........

I think as long as you keep the unit weight, but also remember the more shelves the less height per shelf.

They are very light, so I used 4 3M hanging strips. 2 on each side, and they worked great.

Yes, I have a shelf on my brackets. They will support about 8 pounds or so.

I am not sure. I used all 3 pieces. I don't think the shelves would be as sturdy, I would be afraid they might tip over. You could try, but just make sure you load the bottom shelves first, so they wouldn't get top heavy. The picture is deceptive. The connector shelves are at the back, so the shelves surround on 3 sides.

I did not. I would not rely on Z clips for floating shelves. They are great on shear but do very little if you have roatation forces. Unless the shelf is like 4 to 5 inches thick and you can have two rows of clips. Even then i wouldn't put anything to heavy on it.

It would depend on how wide/deep your shelf is. Take a few measurements and compare to product dimensions. Once filled, they are stable.
