Building backless shelving systems and furniture with our I-Semble™
Slip-on Shelf Brackets (
47934, sold
separately) couldn't be much simpler, but if the shelving system
is very large, you might need some additional support against racking. That's
where the I-Semble™ Cross Strap Bookshelf Stabilizer Kit comes in.
Without
clunky braces or supports, the two wires in the system "tie off" the
diagonals
of your bookshelf to prevent racking. The wires thread through four banjo
screws (included) at the corners, which act much like banjo tuners, adding
balanced tension as needed. The metal L-brackets that hold the banjo screws
wrap around the wooden parts, ensuring that the banjo screws will not tear
out, even in substrates such as MDF and particle board. The stabilizer kit also
works beautifully on any ordinary shelf or cabinet that needs additional
support
against racking, such as older furniture where the joints have started to
loosen
up.
