Can an Ikea Besta shelf be mounted on the wall?

Hello!

For aesthetic reasons, I would like to mount a 60 x 40 x 192 shelf from Besta on the wall. Does anyone know if this is possible or what needs to be considered?

Thank you very much!

In my opinion, it is not possible because the shelf is not designed for that. I think that due to the weight, the mounts will simply tear out of the shelf.

Hello Basically yes, with the angles (they are free with the spare parts - at least in Austria) of the kitchen carcasses you can screw everything to the wall, I did this with Besta years ago and it is still hanging. Regards bergpriv

Can go well, but it doesn't have to.

Whether it goes well or not essentially depends on how heavy the shelf is going to be loaded and whether appropriate anchors and screws are used. For higher loads, I would use more than two brackets. In general, under no circumstances use the supplied wall mounting that is only for securing.

It will not hold up in the long run because the shelf has a corrugated cardboard filling, like e.g. Lack or Expedit. Where exactly is the bracket supposed to hold or already bear the weight of the shelf alone?

If it absolutely must be attached to the wall, then install some kind of construction UNDER the shelf and place it ON THAT. Thus, the wall brackets only have their regular tipping function again. There was already a pretty heated discussion here about Besta and wall mounting. So better leave it.
