We share a thin wall that divides our home office from our wonderful next door neighbor's bedroom, preventing us from drilling additional storage onto or against that particular wall in fear of creating a permanent peep hole. Our home office is already pretty cramped as it is, so we're always looking for additional storage space. And in terms of maximizing space, corner shelves are an excellent addition. But what to do when you can't mount shelves traditionally? An As Seen On TV solution to the rescue...
Look! Corner Shelves Without Drilling
We won an eBay auction for a set of 4 of these Shelf Master corner shelves for under $10 with slightly low expectations. They're constructed of plastic, with a sliding mechanism underneath that pushes out one thin needle at the triangular front, and two short side blades. All three insert themselves into the wall, with a push button locking them all into place, creating a surprisingly strong onto the wall, holding up to 10lbs of weight. Not bad for a discount solution that won't leave any significant marks or damage to our wall.

Let me tell you, do not put anything remotely breakable on the shelves. I have some of those, and unless your walls are perpendicular at exactly a 90 degree angle, the shelf will fall out. Trust me.

I picked up a similar product in little tokyo for about 2 dollars, that worked with a handful of push pins instead of the blades. Its been up for over a year now with absolutely no troubles, though right now it only holds up a little Ikea vase with some flowers in the bathroom.

We had those in our bathroom and they always feel down. Good luck with them though!

I've had them up for 2 months now and neither of the two shelves have fallen, knock on wood. Makes me wonder if these are best installed into certain types of wall material than others.
