The pieces I used for the top and the bottom I believe are called “Flange Adapters” They look like this http://www.pchemlabs.com/product.asp?pid=1387 . There really isn’t any tension between the floor and the ceiling, but it is fairly sturdy. If you are concerned about stability you can use some of these! http://www.homedepot.com/p/Halex-3-8-in-1-2-in-Conduit-and-Pipe-Hangers-5-Pack-26780/100130865 to secure them to the wall. Hopefully that helps!

And is the unit just so snug that it is not secure to either the wall or the ceiling in some way? Thank you!

Thanks for reading! Great question, if it is going to be supporting a lot of weight I think I would just use a thicker pvc pipe. The one featured is only 1 inch. The thicker pipe would increase the stability and the support considerably. I would also consider mounting it to the wall using something like this:

I would LOVE to see pictures of this if you do it. It sounds gorgeous!

Then I found your post on Pinterest. Would you think this would be sturdy enough for an application in my library?

I agree, I love the look of the cast iron pipe, but it would have been a small fortune! This was a fraction of the cost, and everyone always assumes it is the real deal. I love it!

Kudos to you for a great idea, and thanks for sharing!

For additional support you can easily use a bracket on the far wall (the wall that the shelf runs into). I did actually screw the shelf directly into the door casing from above. Hopefully that helps!
