"Depends on the size of items on the shelf and the weight of the items. More weight on the shelves means bigger stronger brackets need to be used."

"Hi...

Red oak is another popular wood type used for shelving. Aside from being sturdy, red oak is also easy to work with.

How many you need. Depends on how much you want to put on them."
