Saw a cute idea to adhere it to the back of a laminate bookshelf. Anyone try that yet? Seems easy enough, I suppose?

Answer here...It is very easy. I placed this on the mirror on the back of my curio. It has been about 7 months now and still looks really good. I thinik you'll like it.

Havent tried it, but it should work. You might want totrytoadd some adhesive.

Not too bad..just be careful where you put the screws on legs. They are not marked and you may have to move them when you go to attach the shelf on bottom. All in all it was pretty easy though.I would recommend

Depends so much on what's on your door. Is it painted? High sheen? Varnished? Texture? Smooth? I'd hazard that the smoother and slicker the surface, the less weight you'd want to hang on it. However, anecdotally, I have one of these large plastic hooks stuck to the side of a laminated bookshelf (the standard IKEA BILLY bookcase) and it's been holding strong for over a year. However, it's only holding my kitchen apron and a bag of cinnamon pinecones.

I have stained-wood sills. The adhesive did pull a little of the stain off. Unfortunately for me, my sills are too narrow to mount the shelf with the velcro adhesive. It pulled off as soon as I tested it (I did leave the adhesive on for 24 hours before attaching the shelf, as recommended). When it came off, the adhesive pulled a layer of stain off with it. If your sills are wide enough to mount this properly, it may not matter since you would put them up and keep them up.

I'm planning on getting cheap plywood or foam from a hardware store and using either spray tacky glue or modge podge to "mount" it. I'm going to paint the edges of the plywood or foam with craft paint and buy it about a half inch larger than the print for a small border. There are a lot of DIY websites with these projects that look great.

Well, I've assembled a few bookshelves and a TV stand...that's about the extent of my past experience. I thought it was pretty easy. There are pictures, but not much explanation. I ordered two and I put one together and my husband did the other. He was annoyed by the lack of directions, but I thought the pictures were self explanatory. You can do it!

It is a MEDIA cabinet, so it's not meant for books. You could probably put lighter text books on it, but big ones will probably break it or cause warping.

I would not recommend that because the shelf is made of glass and it's something you will be constantly tugging on which will wear down the adhesive and cause the shelf to fall. You could possibly use cement paste/glue... but I'm not suggesting that would be a much better option either.

I haven't used the tape on any cloth-covered books, but since I like to make myself useful to people, and since I still have some of the tape, I decided to test it. I taped a small piece to a linen-covered box, and it adhered neatly. I left it for five minutes, then came back and peeled it off. It peeled off pretty easily. I know that it can be peeled off cardboard, too, but not quite as easily. Bottom line is, I don't know whether this will work for you.

I attempted to hang it on the ceiling and was unsuccessful. So I papered an accent wall and the back of a book case. That turned out great. As for the door, I would be concerned that frequent use would cause the edges to ravel.

I have the roll of chalkboard paper, and after I used it on my wood island, I wiped it off and put it on a tall cupboard . It's been there for weeks, and the adhesive is not showing any sign of lifting at all. To make it flat I use a rubber scraper from Pampered Chef - just happen to have that in a drawer and it was perfect for the job. Something to push out the air bubbles would be great. A fridge is actually perfect if it's just simple and flat-surfaced. I use regular chalk and it works great. Perfect idea!

It's like a regular book shelf. The back is cardboard. Not sure how you would hang it on the wall though.

Yes, I think so. It has a standard kind of ready-to-use adhesive (no need to wet it or anything) that you just press into place, like any shelf paper. I will stick to plastic too, I'm quite sure. Good luck.

Yes. This brand of shelf paper is easy to apply evenly. Once it is in place the way you like it, press over it with your hands to fix it in place. It adheres very well.

No - we used it on the back door window to gain some privacy. It did a great job for that, but I wouldn't know about using it as a shelf liner. Doesn't someone already make shelf liner material?

No it wont look good hence the word "book shelf" buy a "tv stand" usually you can find ones that say how much weight they can with stand.

Just tried it on a hardcover book and it is quite large. Also think it would cause fatigue over time from weight.
