Fabian wall shelf

Hi all,
This is my first post here! I hope you all can help. My husband and I bought a Fabian wall shelf today. Only after buying it, did we realize that our apartment's walls are dry walled. I only intend to use it as a 'prayer' shelf with very light weight objects on it. My questions:
1. Will the shelf fall off the wall because of it's own weight?
2. Should I use a support of some kind to make sure the shelf stands alright? If so, what kind of support do you suggest?
I have also attached the ikea image of the shelf.
Any help will be appreciated! Thank you!

Re: Fabian wall shelf

Welcome to IKEAFANS, cancersucks.

The load your shelf can hold will depend on how you install it on the wall. With the proper anchors, you should be able to put the objects you want on it.
