Most of the time the instructions state how much weight the shelf will hold and how to install it for different weights. If the corbels are slotted or have slotted metal brackets where they hook on the wall, you will need to long screws and make sure to screw into studs for the weight. Wall anchors will not handle the weight.
I agree the shelf should come with hardware.
A couple of molly bolts will work just fine . You can get them at wal marts or any hardware store . good luck.
there are anchors available that hold up to 200+lbs per anchor. Ask at your local hardware or big box home improvement center.
Thank you. I will check with my local box store.
