What is screw compression hardware called?  I looked at Home Depot and could not find something similar.

Thanks

I drilled the end of the shelf inserted a "T"-nut insert and then made up tension elements with these.

We too are looking to install this shelf in our 178.  Can you tell me what size are your baskets?
I think we need to have the right size baskets purchased before positioning the shelf.

Thanks,
