I have taken a liking to the French cleat system. Check out this video:
I use them now as a first choice whenever I want to hang something if at all possible instead of the other “picture” hanging or hard/permanent mounting choices. I live in an apartment and added cabinets in the kitchen using the French cleat system. I also added bookshelfs in my spare bedroom. The bookshelves are jammed full of woodworking/carving/investmen/gardening books. Very heavy when full.
One thing though, be sure to include “spacers” toward the bottom of the bookshelf/cabinet.
