Someone please tell me how to hang some heavy shelves on a hollow wall? I tried using hallow wall anchors and they did not work. They pulled right out. Please help!!!

Yep, the wall anchors won't work. You are going to figure out how to attach shelving to the wooden studs (2x4s) inside the wall. Some things (like large bunch of books) might have to be supported from the floor. good luck!

There are no studs inside of this wall. This is a panneled wall.
