I have a desk with an extremely thin piece of wood and I'm unable to drill in to mount brackets. Can anyone recommend adhesive to mount the brackets?

I mounted my brackets to the underside of a metal shelf using 8-32 flat head machine screws in counter sunk holes. I would not trust any adhesive. If the wood is extremely thin might it also be weak? Can it handle the torque possible from a keyboard shelf?

I would recommend a 1x2 wood that you can construction adhesive to the bottom of your desk and then screw the sides into it.

I don't know if adhesive would withstand use. If you have room I would mount the brackets to two strips of thicker wood and mount those strips to your thin wood.

They recommend brackets by SanuD or OmniMount. Two threaded holes in back and one on the bottom. Good luck!

Dowels and glue with predrilled holes, or "L" brackets if you don't mind the look, and can locate studs, would work. It's a good little unit.

Hi. I want to build a shelf that falls down. Not one that gets pulled up.Would it in your opinion make sense to use these brackets? They wouldbe on the two sides of the surface I will be using. Thanks for any replyon that!

This speaker does not come with any brackets. As a matter of fact, this speaker is meant for recessed mount. You will need to cut the hole on the sheetrock ceiling or tile ceiling by using the template that come with it. Once the hole is cut, the speaker will fit right in. You just turn the screwa on the gears around the speaker. If you intend to have a drop down speaker box. This speaker is not for you unless you customize a box to put the speaker inside to make it a speaker box. Hope that help.

I've never used a wall bracket with any of my book shelves similar to this one. In fact, on all of my book shelves, I used self sticking felt strips on the bottom of the cases to keep from scratching the wood floor without any problem. Once in a while, I have to slide one of them out to get behind it. I'll put heavier things on the bottom shelf for stability.

I have the same brackets & speakers. I fabricated a 2" x about 5" x 1/8" steel plate with drilled holes to bolt to the bracket and 2 bolts as hangers for the speaker's keyhole mounts. Works.

We tried mounting it to the metal edge of a glass top desk since it was too heavy for the glass, but that didn't really work since the metal edge was too thin. You really need a pretty sturdy wooden or metal desk for this thing.

Is there any way to side mount these shelves? I have an old computer desk where the bottom portion has no back so I need to anchor any shelf to the side.

The brackets that are the feet in the photo can be rearranged to wall mount or under shelf mount. You should be able to find the manual online at Hitachi.

This can mount to any desk. It comes with wood screws to secure it. but I recommend drilling pilot holes to help with guiding the screws.

I used liquid nails to mount the one I purchased, however it was difficult holding it in place long enough to hold it's own weight. I then used caulk to cover the edges. It has held up fine since then. Perhaps a contact cement would work and may even require less hold time although I have not personally tried that myself. I am not sure how someone would be able to mount this with a bracket. Perhaps an anchor bolt would give it something to rest on in the adhesion process? I am not sure. I hope this is helpful.

You have to drill a small (3/8") hole through the desk to mount. This unit was well built and sturdy but does consume the entire desk.

Yes you can mount this along any edge of the desk. If the desktop is then particleboard, I would sandwich a couple thin pieces of wood to spread out the weight distribution.

The underdesk is held by four screws that are not durable enough to use on metal. It's more designed for wooden desks with pre drilled starter holes. You can probably try to weld it , but other than using different brackets, your options are limited.

There is no provision for wall mounting built in. You would have to mount "L" brackets on the wall then use some short wood screws to attacher from the bottom of the unit. Also, IKEA makes some "invisible" shelf units in different sizes and weight capacities that might work for you.
