Screw-free, damage free, tool free shelf by n108bg
Are you tired of your cluttered desk at your dorm? Need more cheap, effective, or heavy duty storage space that can be removed without a trace at the end of the year? Well, then here is your instructable. This shelf system is based off of materials that can be purchased from your local campus store, or even stuff you may have lying around, and can hold astonishing amounts of weight. These shelves are entirely removable, portable, and can even be stacked on top of each other without an issue. These shelves can easily hold 10 pounds a piece on less than ideal walls, and can be put up or torn down in a matter of minutes.

Just an update, It's been 3 months since original installation, and it's still holding very well. Clears a lot  of space off desk.

Step 1: Gathering your materials


For this project, you will need a few parts

1. 2 packs of 2 Command adhesive wall hooks. Medium strength or above.
2. A clipboard or flat board- this will be your shelf. If considering making a long shelf, consider something that is less prone to flexing under weight.
3. binder clips (at least 2 per shelf
4. Shoe laces, heavy twine or rope. a pair of shoe laces or two 4.5' segments of rope (you can pull some off your old Adidas, if you dont care much. I recommend buying some cheap shoelaces from walmart)
5. duct tape (not pictured)
