       7 . The shelf mounting system of  claim 5 , wherein the adhesive material is a rubber-based adhesive. 
   
   
       8 . A shelf mounting system for mounting a shelf to a wall surface, the system comprising:
 an elongate member having a wall attachment portion and a body portion perpendicular to the wall attachment portion, the body portion including a threaded region that extends at least partially along its length and   a shelf member having an abutment surface configured to abut the wall surface, the abutment surface each having a cut out portion for receiving the threaded region of the body portion.   
   
   
       9 . The shelf mounting system of  claim 8 , further comprising a radius extending along at least a portion of the length of the body portion configured to receive a level device. 
   
   
       10 . The shelf mounting system of  claim 8 , wherein the elongate member is steel. 
   
   
       11 . The shelf mounting system of  claim 8 , wherein the shelf is one of wood, glass, plastic and particle board. 
   
   
       12 . The shelf mounting system of  claim 8 , further comprising an adhesive material having a first adhesive surface and a second adhesive surface, the first adhesive surface placed adjacent to and in contact with the abutment surface and the second adhesive surface placed adjacent to and in contact with the wall surface. 
   
   
       13 . The shelf mounting system of  claim 12 , wherein the adhesive material is double sided tape. 
   
   
       14 . The shelf mounting system of  claim 12 , wherein the adhesive material is a rubber-based adhesive. 
   
   
       15 . The method of mounting a shelf to a corner wall surface defined by the intersection of a first wall surface and a second wall surface, the method comprising the steps of:
 adjusting an elongate member on the corner wall surface until it is in a desired orientation, the elongate member having a first arm and a second arm, each of the first arm and second arm having a wall attachment portion and a body portion perpendicular to the wall attachment portion, the elongate member including a cut groove that extends along a width of the body portion to define an interruption between the first arm and the second arm, the body portion including a threaded region that extends at least partially along the length of the first arm and the second arm;   mounting the elongate member to the corner wall surface;   sliding a shelf member over the first arm and the second arm, the shelf member having a first abutment surface configured to abut the first wall surface and a second abutment surface configured to abut the second wall surface, the first and second abutment surfaces each having a cut out portion for receiving the threaded region of the body portion and   applying pressure to the shelf member to cause the first abutment surface to abut the first wall surface and the second abutment surface to abut the second wall surface.   
   
   
       16 . The method of mounting a shelf of  claim 15 , the method further comprising a step of placing a level device on a radius of the body portion to determine the orientation of the elongate member. 
   
   
       17 . The method of mounting a shelf of  claim 15 , the method further comprising the step of placing an adhesive material in contact with at least one of the first and second abutment surfaces, the adhesive material having a first adhesive surface and a second adhesive surface, the first adhesive surface placed adjacent to and in contact with at least one of the first abutment surface and the second abutment surface and the second adhesive surface placed adjacent to and in contact with the wall surface. 
   
   
       18 . The method of mounting a shelf to a wall surface comprising the steps of:
 adjusting an elongate member on the wall surface until it is in a desired orientation, the elongate member having a wall attachment portion and a body portion perpendicular to the wall attachment portion, the body portion including a threaded region that extends at least partially along its length;   mounting the elongate member to the wall surface;   sliding a shelf member over the body portion, the shelf member a shelf member having an abutment surface configured to abut the wall surface, the abutment surface including a cut-out portion for receiving the threaded region of the body portion;   applying pressure to the shelf member to cause the abutment surface to abut the wall surface.
