Hello everyone! In the midst of building a unit (and learning how to do all this) and was wondering if people could give me more insight on supporting shelves.

I currently have a PAX 39" x 79" wardrobe with 44lbs max load KOMPLIMENT shelves. Now I just bought lugpins for the shelf that support up to 150 lbs to replace the plastic pins that put up the shelf, will that increase the max load allowed for the shelf?

Also, will adding a support somewhere underneath the shelf help or do I risk the shelf ripping out of the sides of the unit or stressing the walls? And if this is possible, any suggestions?

I'm not going to add 150lbs of statues to one shelf but I'd like to increase its weight capacity to at least 80lbs if possible while also preventing bowing of the shelf.

Thanks!
