Ones we got made in our last flat were solid wood and just used the slots on the sides over some lengths of rod that were epoxied/stuck into the walls using something hardcore. Not sure if it was actual epoxy or some kind of construction adhesive. I'd say for non solid wood, some along the back would be a good idea. Not rawl plugs though as those threads would not bite in the same way that screws would. Also, screws are tapered which causes the plugs to expand the way they need to work.

Alcove shelves. I have some that came with the flat but I've never fitted. They also come with this bag full of threaded rods. There is no threading on the shelves so i assume i need some sort of rawl plugs with threaded insert into which i screw the rods, to align with the holes on the back of the shelves and the groove at the sides and the shelf should just then slot in? Does this sound about right and does anyone have any installation recommendations and/or links to likely insert bits? Cheers
