Interior design question...

Because of the environment that I was raised in, I lack a lot of common-sense knowledge about everyday things. There was no man-of-the-house, so I'm particularly lacking in home improvement or fix-it projects. I'm almost afraid to swing the hammer and mount the interlocking cube shelves that I purchased for my loft apartment.

My question: Is there a standard height or minimum height for shelves or wall storage? I guess it should be small enough that most types of furniture and appliances could be pushed against the wall beneath it. Before I puncture the drywall and start making stupid mistakes, I hope that someone can provide some advice so I can do this with confidence.

/me is expecting smart-a$$ "suggestions" (please, make them obvious with a " 😉 ")
 
I remember seeing a home improvement show that said the bottom of the unit should be 54 inches off the floor, with adjustments made for height of the primary "user"
 
Failure from the first swing of the hammer.

The wall anchors have nothing to keep them from spinning or pushing into the wall when the screw is turned.

Also, how do I avoid studs in the wall?
