These shelves are great. I got four 16 inch ones and they look perfect in the corner of my room. They are sturdy and solid. But I have 4 points of criticism:
-No installation instructions were included in packaging, instead I had to come back to this page to read them. Even then, I think we ended up youtubing the instructions.
-The drill bit size (I think 1/8 inch?) that was recommended to drill the holes was too small. We used a 1/4 inch bit and it worked much better.
-My biggest disappointment is that the color is not quite as advertised. I got the nautre color, which in the photos looks like a bright oak, but in reality is more of a muted natural wood look commonly popular in farmhouse decor. If I had farmhouse style Id be happy, but I dont. I really wanted the brighter, lighter color to complement my white walls. I realized after receiving the shelves that the advertised photos had been edited/brightened. Maybe someday Ill refinish them to get the look I want.
-Finally, in the advertised photos, you can flip the shelves either way (so that the wood strips where the screws go can either be on the bottom of the shelf or the top). But in reality, you cant flip it so the strips are on top, because there are additional screws connecting the strips to the main shelf that are visible/ugly. These screws are not pictured in the sample photos in which the strips are on top, either because they were edited out or a different product was photographed.
Ordered both the black and white to go with our black and white mid-century vibe.
Seem a little cheap coming out of the box, but once they are up, they look fine. We couldnt find studs, so we used those screw-in wall anchors (not supplied) and these could hold a small moose now. Maybe...
Handy corner shelf. The shelf itself is solid oak and clear coated. The installation did not go as described, the screws were too large for plastic mollys… had to drill 4 new holes and used 2” drywall screws to mount. Perfect!
The wooden floating shelves are made in China, but they are solid and the paint job is very good. There is no chip or dent on the wood surfaces and the shelves were well protected by bubbled wrap. The screws and wall anchors are also long and good quality.
The installation instructions are very simple with diagrams on 1 piece of paper only, see picture. The way the shelves are supported by a “L” shape wooden pieces is very clever, because the board can be removed easily for cleaning and dusting. They are also very supportive, as long as they are secured by the screws properly, they will be able to support the weight of the shelves and the items on them. The only negative of the shelves is theIt weight. I want the shelves to be lighter because it is still too heavy for the hollow drywall I plan to install them.
If you’re looking for black corner shelves, there aren’t many options on . There are a few for much more money and some very cheap options too. I figured the middle g would be the Goldilocks choice, and these mostly are. They’re sturdy, look nice, and I expect them to be durable enough as I’m not frequently putting things on them.
The reason why I only gave 4 stars is this: the finish isn’t that smooth or uniform. I would expect for MDF for them to be nearly flawless, but there are “grain” pops and defects that are noticeable within a few feet. It’s a shame, but not a deal-breaker.
Assuming you have a square or nearly square wall, installation is easy. Tip, put the screws through the support so they poke out a tiny bit, then press against the wall using a level. Use the indents to pre drill and insert the drywall anchors.
Beautiful shelves. We got the 7” and they look very nice. Solid and sturdy. They hold the items that I intended- just perfectly.
You will need tools that will allow you to get to the screws when you install them. Maybe an extension on your screwdriver or drill.
Shelves are actually pretty thick. Way thicker than they look in the pictures which is a very good thing. Installation wasnt bad at all. These stick out pretty far, they arent tiny shelves but large enough without being too small. I really like these. Very elegant and classy looking shelves
Shelves are solid and clean. Level is included to aid in install. However installing solo can be a little tricky to balance shelf, level, while marking 4 holes.
Either get help from a friend with a steady hand, or you can try a solution that worked for me. I stuck loops of pretty strong tape on the wall-facing side and leveled them this way so that I could use both hands to mark the points for drilling.
This shelfs are easy to install as long as you have smooth straight walls. Quality is good the are thick, I like how It hides the screws. Also, it securely holds my perfumes and lotions. The appearance of it is also quite fashion. Highly recommended!

Look Good Once Installed

Good paint job and the installation is simple to follow.

Good, not great, but still a value

Beautiful wood, sturdy, need extension on screwdriver to install.

Good shelves, tricky to install solo without some tricks

Better then expected
