Step 3 Attaching the shelf

Drape the shelf over the brackets and fasten to the wire shelf using zip-ties as shown in the picture. Don't be afraid to pull them too tight, the larger zip-ties are tough to break. Make sure you zip-tie in both directions so the shelf will not move side to side or up and down. Mine feels like its welded to the brackets. Trim off the excess. If the rear of the desk is exposed, you might want to be mindful of where the tie will be trimmed, these leave sharp edges. You may want to make sure the trimmed end is facing under the desk.
