    You gotta anchor that into studs...the drywall by itself is pretty much useless.

    BTW...what a gorgeous set up!

Try using a stud finder and you can mount the shelves straight to the studs. I usually make my own holes on the shelves to accomidate for where the studs are at to insure they will never fall on there own.
