For someone who puts just about everything on the wall (me), I lreally like this idea. How fun to be able to change things around without having to repair nail holes.

Hmm, that's got possibilities. Much nicer looking than that cheap masonite with tiny holes and crummy metal hooks. Perhaps a sheet or two of framed, nicely finished birch or oak plywood with the pegs securely installed could be attached to a wall with fewer holes resulting. Or you could paint the plywood to match your walls.

I followed the link but didn't see this over there. Anyone know how the pegs are attached to the wall?

That's it? A horizontal shelf resting on a round peg? The shelf with the teapot on it is too short and looks very precarious. Also, this would not work in an earthquake area. Maybe if the shelf had a half-round groove cut into it for where it sits on the peg?

Earthquake!!! I could not sleep next to that wall.

LESLEY CLARK, I would say you can do it with dowel screws.

Wonderful concept. we can also do a wall design by twisting a rope as a square on 4 of the pegs.

um. No

I dare you to live in a room this stupid.

First off, the reason this looks at all nice is that the dowels just project from the wall with no visible hardware or other "clutter". So they HAVE to be inserted into studs. Meaning you are limited in their placement to appropriately supportive walls.

Next, notches could be cut into the top surfaces to catch the handles etc of things hung there, to prevent them falling.

Finally, no matter what, you would have all those poles sticking out, waiting to clock you one if you lean wrong or reach wrong! And it would be a big undertaking to remove them and patch all that wall. Plus, although the poles themselves might create kind of a pleasing repeat pattern, once you start to use them, you are back to clutter.

Not for me.

I love the look and the notion, but I'd be sans eyeballs within a week.
