How should I mount a circular bamboo/rattan shelf? - Home Tiki Bars

It looks similar to the shelf below. My only solution so far is to hang it on some long screws, but I'd prefer something more stable so I can display mugs on it with some degree of confidence that some drunken yobbo(like me) won't knock it over. Any tips? A few pertinent facts about the shelf: -it has resting plexiglass shelves, so I can't support it under those -unlike the photo, both the front and rear circles are doubled up, so pipe straps are out of the question. :/ Thanks folks!

Unfortunately, the double bamboo circles on the back prevent pipe straps/brackets from working. That was my first though as well, Jeff-Ro. Tikiskip - looks like that'll be my solution. Cheers!

You would still need to paint it to hide it but it would be secure.
