Arlington Heights is EasyFix home base. Many homes here — especially in Heritage, Olympic Park, and Scarsdale — date from the 1960s–70s with original plaster walls that require specialty anchors. I work in this community every week and know every wall type you'll find here.
Local insight: A large share of Arlington Heights homes have plaster walls — not drywall — which requires different anchoring techniques and tools most handymen don't carry.
On the ground in Arlington Heights: In Arlington Heights, most of the housing stock went up between the 1950s and early 1970s — ranches and split-levels, many with original plaster walls — and each of those wall types takes different fasteners for the load you actually plan to put up. For long-time owners updating homes they plan to stay in: floating shelves on concealed brackets sized to the span, rated for what will actually sit on them. Shelving and storage installs have run from Scarsdale's historic streets to the newer condos around the downtown Metra station recently.

Yes — plaster walls require different anchoring than drywall, but I install floating shelves on plaster regularly. The result is equally secure.
It depends on the shelf material, bracket type, and anchoring method. Stud-mounted shelves can hold 50–100+ lbs. I'll tell you the realistic capacity before installation.
