Do you need to drill your ceiling to attach it? Will it work with popcorn ceiling? Are shelves made of cardboard too?

You don't need to drill your ceiling. It stays in place by tension in a spring through the shaft. You have to hold the spring depressed and wedge it into place. You need to have a solid ceiling, as opposed to tiles that sit in a metal frame. But it will work with a popcorn finish. The shelves are particle board.

No drill is needed. I have popcorn ceiling it works. It comes with a suction cup at the top. It isnt cardboard shelves. Looks like pressed board.

Sorry didn't reply sooner. The tower is held against the ceiling by spring tension. the height can be adjusted. If the popcorn ceiling material is compressible, it could damage it. Shelves are particle board and are quite sturdy.

No, you don't need any tools. The top has a spring section that adjusts to ceiling height. We have a popcorn ceiling and I was worried about it but my two are very rough on it and it hasn't caused any damage to the ceiling. The shelves are some kind of pressboard, not cardboard. My cats have torn it up and it doesn't look pretty, but they LOVE it. They put on a show for us every night. If you're worried about aesthetics, put it in a room that's non-public. I have had all kinds of cat scratcher-type equipment over the years and I have to say this is the best for the money. These cats never get tired of playing on it. No, you don't need any tools.

Hi, no you don't need a drill to assemble it. The top rod pushes into a spring so that once in place, the spring will keep the rod pushing against the ceiling. You will just need a chair or small step ladder to stand on while you push in on the spring until you get the tree upright and positioned where you want it. I think it should work with a popcorn ceiling (maybe you will flake off a few of the bumps of the ceiling). The top pad that is in contact with the ceiling is soft rubber and about three inches in diameter. The tree would definitely still be stable. The shelves are wood(particle board wood) and they are solid. My cats will take a running jump and leap onto different levels. Hope this helps! I would recommend this(I have 2 of these in different parts of the house).

If i recall.. You can anchor it...but hoestly I ended up returning it. The length of the shelf is in two pieces, not one solid piece, he holes were not drilled the same, i was missing parts numerous imperfections with the , and then some... So even after I went through everything to build it.. It was still very flimsy..

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. I used the hook that came with it, it's actually really good quality, but I also used two screws with anchors (didn't need to find a stud); it's not going anywhere! However, I have popcorn ceiling. The bed net may get pulled and tugged as the child gets in and out, the amount of tension put on it most definitely would be more than 5lbs. Hope this helps.

It doesn't have anything that secures to the wall unless u personally make one. And if u have little ones that like to climb things either make a personal alteration to the shelf so it doesn't fall forward or don't get it. But in general u will need to make secure alterations to any shelf u get if u have lil climbers in the house. So good luck I hope this helped.

I don't think you can. The sticky putty is great still haven't fallen and i have popcorn ceiling

Yes, but you must use a laminate OSB or particle board. The stress along on dimension lumber will snap the board along the grain. So if you choose a piece of hardwood it must not project past the bracket more than 4", which would make for a very shallow shelf. Unless you don't mind the weight supported on the shelf will more than likely dent the wood where the wood meeting the metal support.

Yes, works great. I removed popcorn ceiling in one room so far. It made short work of it. I purchased because contractors wanted $2500 to $3000 to remove popcorn from my front living area.Dust and cleanup is minimum. Will throw a little dust if you go past edge on outside corner. Very high quality tool

I i used a drill with a phillips bit from underneath, into the ShelfLinks and thru the wood.i used a clamp to secure all of it and had it laying on the floor. The holes are predrilled in the plastic.

The shelf corners hang from a vertical support arm (uprights?) that has a inch or two wiggle room. They connect to a brace that must be anchored into solid wood (ceiling joists) on either end of the vertical support arm. You'll need to install bolts from the outside so the shelf cannot be so close to the wall that you can't install, and tighten the bolt.There was a series of back and forth install steps that I needed to go through before I had the shelf put up properly, but I am happy I went with this product. It looks solid and dependable. Good Luck

Yes. Mine is still attached to our popcorn ceiling. Great product. We have two. Very industrial. Still up over a year later.

It sure does! It is wonderful. Easy to put up and beautiful when finished. We had uneven popcorn ceilings, but not now. They are beautiful! It is fun to do as well.

Hi S.O. - No, you don't need to drill holes. There's two brackets at the top that fit over the door. And the shelving units are in 2 separate pieces that you loop to connect. If you swing the door super fast it can cause the bottom shelf to bang against the door which I wouldn't encourage. Overall it's a great product!

YES easily, just make sure you hit studs, depending on you spacing of studs in your wall, you Might have to re drill the shelf bracket, If the wall studs are too far apart yo will need a board the width of the stud spacing mounted first..the mount the shelf to that securely.

Yes you have to drill holes or use nails. There is no way to have shelves without making some holes.

I believe they have ceiling mounts on Amazon for this projector! I just put mine on a shelf high on the wall and that has been working great!

Long story short, there is a metal "hook" that goes across the wiring on the edge of any shelf you so choose and is secured in place with a large screw (included). I didn't follow the assembly instructions because of my weird ceiling height. You can put as many or as few shelves on either side, you just have to count how many spaces are between each shelf. (If you decide to order it, you'll see what I mean.) I promise it's super easy to put together. Depending on your hangers, you may even be able to use both rods and put them side-by-side. You'll only be limited by your creativity :) ......or ceiling height.

I bought this projector last year. I originally wanted to mount it to the ceiling, but it would require some more creative thinking than I would rather do. You would need some kind of shelf suspended from the ceiling or something to sit it on. The only other thing would be to do as NaRa says and modify the actual body of the projector and I would advise against it since it is made from cheap plastic. It is great if you could put it on a high shelf or like I said make one suspending from the ceiling.
