Hanging a heavy shelf on drywall alone will eventually pull it right off the wall. Use a stud finder or the knock test to locate wooden studs behind the drywall — that's where heavy items should go. For drywall-only spots, use proper anchors rated for the weight you're hanging. Understanding this single distinction prevents holes, damage, and things crashing to the floor at 3 AM.
The point
Knowing when to use studs versus anchors prevents shelves from falling off your walls.
