Begin by using painter's tape to mark the vertical lines where the shelves will be located. Initially, the creator intended to use wood studs, marking their positions with blue tape. However, discovering the wall had metal studs (common in commercial buildings), the decision was made to use drywall anchors instead. Measure the desired height for the first shelf (20 inches from the ground) and subsequent shelves (every 10 inches above the first). Transfer these measurements onto the wall using a pencil to mark the center point for each support. It's crucial to ensure these marks are perfectly vertical (plumb) for a level shelf installation.
