If the protrusions that hook the brackets break, how can i suspend a shelf?

Have not had any problems with this product, so I have no experience with this problem. I have owned this product for a couple of years and have had no problems.

Unfortunately I can't answer that my shelves did not come with anything to hook them up with.

Shelves are pretty sturdy and can hold quite a bit, however as a whole the structure isn't. Almost broke it carrying out of the apartment when moving out as it's it's susceptible to being twisted/arc when held from both ends.

Yes you can . But the shelf is actually between the main back (which is in sections.on the bottom of base theres two philip type screw heads. The top is caps that hold it together. So unscrew carefullay and it will come apart.

There are no brackets provided for such an installation. You would have to fashion something, perhaps using metal patch pieces that have a hole at each end. It would be critical that the shelving be very sturdy and not tend to distort or have the rear portion raise/dislodge from the cantilever effect of the unit when fully extended.

There are 2 metal brackets that you slide over the lip of the bottom shelf and the lip on the top shelf. You then use screws to hold the brackets in place. I have two bottom units with two top units and they've been fine for the past 7+ months that we've had them set up with two young children.

I screwed it to the shelf,because when you pull the shelf out the weight would make it tip forward

Possibly, but the side panels (behind the shelves) are thinner and not secured to the unit by fasteners/screws. As B. Fey said, it is a very sturdy unit! I absolutely love mine!

To a degree . . . there are "notches" every inch in the upright supports and those "notches" are what hold the shelf brackets.

You could. To increase the stability, perhaps you could put the shelf frame, but leave the glass out.

Yes, you can. But the resulting construction won't be sturdy enough to hold anything heavier on the top shelf

The brackets are pretty heavy duty and can support not only a sturdy shelf but also items on top if it. As long as you can get the screws secured, preferably into studs, they'll hold quite a bit of weight (like books).

I used 2 of these brackets, screwed into studs, with a 36 inch long 1x8 for the shelf. As configured, the shelf supports a variety of laundry detergents and supplies which weigh, in all, about 10 pounds. I would not use it to support anything that weighed more than 20 pounds. The brackets are well worth the money I paid for them. I wish I could send you a photo, but I don't know how.

You can search Rubbermaid brackets and find them. It's far cheaper to get the brackets and clamps at your hardware store though. Just bring the shelf, ask a service rep, and they can point you to the right place. Cheaper than on Amazon I found for those was at Home Depot

The way that the vertical posts are built prohibit this. I bought shorter shelf systems. Keep looking you will find them.

It is ABSLOLUTELY NOT designed for that. Shelf might be strong enough, but it would tip right over, in my opinion.

Loosen the uppermost black turnscrew and when it is loose lift the right hand shelf

This is a glass shelf made for a certain weight. While sturdy I would very much advice anyway to stack it even, that would be a huge risk of someone being hurt if it breaks.
