What happens here
Install the finished, wood-toned floating shelves to the wall. This typically involves using a strong internal cleat system or heavy-duty floating shelf brackets anchored directly into wall studs. Ensure each shelf is perfectly level and securely fastened. If your shelves have integrated lighting (like the puck lights seen in the video), connect the wiring to the previously routed electrical according to safety guidelines.
Goal: Mount the finished floating shelves to the wall, connecting lighting.
