Most shelves are "no tools required, minimal assembly" Tom Send a noteboard - 05/11/2009 07:50:45 PM
What it means is that you get an Allen wrench (I think they call them "hex wrenches" these days) and a bunch of really heavy screws with the hexagonal indentation at the end. If you screw them in tight enough the shelf should hold steady very well. Of course, you have to line everything up right and make sure you tighten things incrementally.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
