What a great design!
There could be long bolts fastened into the studs with holes drilled in
the shelves to fit over the bolts. With the heads cut off the bolts, this
would be do-able, especially if it was at a slight angle. Years ago, I
did something similar for a short, narrow shelf which had no significant
weight as this one carries.
Is it so you can contact the publisher for information from the designer?
It would be very interesting to find out how he did it. Then again, maybe
it's a question for "Ask This Old House." <g>
I've seen this design before but cannot remember where or when (except 20+
years in the past).
