Palatine specifics: Shelf installation in Palatine is an anchoring problem before a carpentry problem: subdivisions built from the 1960s through the 1980s sit alongside newer townhomes near the downtown Metra, so the wall might be drywall, plaster over lath, or masonry. Since rolling, wooded lots near Deer Grove hold shade and moisture well into the afternoon, stud-finding here is a skill, not a beep. Shelving and storage installs have run from Plum Grove Estates to the townhomes around downtown Palatine 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.
You can, or I can advise on what to purchase. If you have the shelves, just have them unpacked and ready.
