How can these possibly stay up?

The mounting frame which is screwed to the wall is rebated into the back edge of the shelf. There are long, thick steel pins that go deep into the shelf. They don't always stay up very well unless the fixing screws are very solidly attached to the wall! John

It's obvious. There are steel rods deeply embedded in the wall and the shelves..

That does not stay up if weight is applied by my foot. The perky nipples are not enough to keep it there.

Yes these can also have issues with those naff plasterboard walls with just a wooden frame to hold up either side, Those fastbrolly thingies though supposed to spread the load can just pull through leaving a nasty gaping hole. Brian

Are you saying my wife has steel rots deeply embedded in her chest!

I hope not. Please don't generalize from, perhaps, your wife. Quickly, please, take your wife to the orthopedist or blacksmith.
