There are many types of shelves that you can choose from. These shelves come in different shapes and sizes, in different materials, and with different features. There are three main types of shelves that you can choose from: - The most common type is the floating shelf which is like a shelf with a platform on top of it. You would have to build this one yourself or buy it ready-made. - The other type is the wall-mounted shelf where you would mount your shelf on the wall itself by screwing it into the wall studs or using brackets to hold it in place. - The third type is the free-standing shelf where you would mount your shelf on a stand like a table or use some kind of legs to hold it up.
