I reinstalled all of the shelving in our gardenia. I agree, the initial installation was not good, as I found over half of the anchors on the large walk in closet were loose, before we even used them. I used a stud locator, and a 1/4 inch drill and the appropriate wall anchor. For the metal studs, I used dry wall or sheet metal screws, with a predrilled 1/8 inch hole. I also added some additional supports, and I hit every stud that I could. The old holes were very easy top patch and paint over.
