"There's nothing worse than dealing with an awkward gap between the head of your bed and the wall behind it. In my dorm room, it was due to the air vent that stuck out of the wall. That crack would wind up eating my pillows and blankets in the middle of the night, which left me waking up cold and with a stiff neck."
"To begin, loosely secure two zip ties around each bed post. The video's caption specifies that you want "one around the top of the bed rail and one just below." Then, slide a shelf bracket into the zip ties' loops on each side. Double check that the brackets are mostly level before fully tightening the zip ties and snipping off the extra length."
Loosely secure two zip ties around each bedpost, one near the top of the bed rail and one just below, then slide a shelf bracket into each pair of zip tie loops. Level the brackets before fully tightening the zip ties and trim the excess. Apply adhesive to the top of each bracket and place a slim shelf onto the brackets; the shelf can be cut to size for a flush fit. Leave a small gap between the shelf and the wall to prevent damage. A long body pillow can cushion the shelf. Do not use the shelf to bear heavy weight or as a load-bearing headboard replacement; screws can add hold but are not recommended for weight-bearing use.
