I like them.

i wonder how strong they are. they look like they'd be stronger the more you put on the shelves/table top.

How do they fix to the wall?

We had shelving something like that when I was flatting. We used bricks instead of bottles. Three bricks high each shelf and like those bottle shelves it was able to be transport6ed easy when shifting.

Bearing in mind I'm completely kack-handed, if the bottles were filled with sand, would they be stronger?
