Take a chance... you may be pleasantly surprised on these great shelves!
I have searched and looked at sooooo many floating shelves online and thought this would be another product I may need to return. I was skeptical like most people who look at the worst reviews when considering a product. Yes, it isn't made of wood, but it clearly states "wooden" and "engineered wood" in the description, so that didn't sway me from considering it. Note, it does look like real wood with the wood grains and it is light weight making it easy to install by one person. I purchased 3 boxes of white 36" shelves, which had 2 shelves in each box (6 shelves total).I know some said that the shelves arrived damaged, but I loved the packaging (especially after the delivery person threw it about a foot or more from the ground when he was helping to get the packages into my house). None of the shelves were damaged. It is packaged very well and included a cute thank you note for customers. I order a lot of things online and I don't normally get a note, so it was unexpected.Instructions were clear and very simple (although the shelf image of the holes were incorrect when compared to the actual bracket received). I just ignored the hole image in the instructions and followed the instructions. I didn't go the route of drywall anchors for 2 of the shelves since I was lucky to leverage wall studs. I only used two screws into the studs instead of the many screws they say to use. The expected load on these shelves will be minimal so I felt safe with 2 screws when I say the sturdiness of the bracket after installation. Hey, if you are expecting to place a significant load on the shelves, then use the anchors or buy better anchors to ensure strength, but for most people the provided anchors should be enough. Another reason I didn't go with anchors was just in case the anchors put a little more space/gap between the wall and the shelf.I was concerned about the flimsiness and load support some complained about, so I made sure the bracket was installed well onto the wall with the screws provided. The one issue I do have is that the two metal bars that slide into the shelves are a little flimsy so there is a little play when the shelves are installed (not because of the wall bracket). I can see why some complained that the shelf tilts downwards at the front edge a bit due to the slightly flimsy metal rods. I am not putting a significant load (like dishes ) or else I would have used the anchors or replaced the anchors with toggle bolts for added weight support. Again, these things may add space/gap between the wall and the shelf.Would it have been great if the shelf support rods were sturdier... Yes, but.... they are great as they are for me and probably most people who will put light loads on them. The shelves are great looking, easy to install, support the load I expected and the price was perfect for me since I was getting two of them. I saw equally bad reviews on more expensive shelves and I didn't want to get bad quality with additional cost.I took a chance on these shelves and I was pleasantly surprise on how great they are. I gave it 5 stars because of their nice look and easy installation. What I wish they would improve on would be the support rods to ensure it supports more loads without dipping downwards and also provide coverup stickers for the screw hole at the bottom of the shelf.Ver másVer menos
