Yea. I actually put it up and then had to start all over because some of the shelves weren't aligned. best to start from one side and go in one direction to make sure everything lines up.
Thanks for sharing, I just installed the top track. Unfortunately, none of the pre drill hole were aligned with a stud. I have to use all wall anchor for the 7 holes. Kind a nervous if the anchors only can support the weight of the system. Any thoughts?
Container Store has some of the best anchors. I love them and use them for everything. The shelves should be able to support 500lbs assuming you have 1/2" or 5/8" sheetrock/drywall. It's amazing that you didn't align with at least 1 or 2 studs. Nonetheless, the vertical bars and brackets help to distribute the weight evenly across the entire wall.
Nice Tips. I appreciate you going over the alignment of the shelving!.

I believe you can screw the standards directly to the wall (and wall studs if they align) to keep the standards from bowing.
Chris, that is very nice. I love elfa! Keeps you organized and makes use of all the vertical space!
Thanks Maria. I agree. It can get a bit expensive, but it's so easy to assemble and customizable.
Thank you for sharing :)
My pleasure. Thanks for the support. Hope to share more of my DIY projects in the future
Super helpful! Thanks for this, Chris Loh. Any add’l thoughts on elfa now that you’ve had it for a while?
I love the shelves. They are a bit more expensive then Id like, but they do work well and I like the look and customization

@@ChrisLoh The drywall is 5/8". Let's hope that everything goes well. Thanks for your reply
@@Anintention should be fine. Let me know if you run into any problems. Would love to get others feedback
Mark your studs and drill your own holes in the top track. Problem solved.
Good video but Ewwww. You keep food out in your garage? Bugs and mice dude. Gross
