Perfect for what we needed and we have some left. I like these a lot!

I love this set of shelves that are sturdy as well as look lovely. I think they have a nice rustic charm. The shelves themselves are made of real wood and the brackets are made of a sturdy metal. There are 2 sets of screws for each side of the bracket, so 8 screws total per shelf (2 per bracket that screw into the wall and 2 per bracket that attach to the shelf) I had purchased an inexpensive brand from a nearby big box store that I thought were comparable. However, even though they said they had the same weight rating (40 lbs), that was only if they were screwed into studs. Plus, there was only one screw per bracket that attached it to the wall.

Finding studs to give the shelves extra strength is fine in the garage, but these shelves were meant for a particular space, and there is no way the smallest of the shelves was long enough to place brackets on studes. So back to the big box store they went.

These shelves are perfect for my little art studio corner. As you can see, a lot goes on here. I love that there were 4 shelves even though I really only needed 3 for my supplies. There is an extra shelf for me to use for my little art mementos.

On the left side of m photo, you can see the grain of the wood, and how the darker rings of the wood are not just a stain but runs through the wood itself. I don’t remember what type of wood this was or even if the paperwork mentioned what type of wood. I find the dark tree rings to be lovely. The wood itself is quite lightweight. Bracket placement is up to you since there are no pre-drilled holes. I was going to have the brackets under the shelves but realized that since I am such a klutz, flipping them over might help to prevent me from accidentally knocking stuff off the shelfs.

I bought a second set of these when we recently adopted a couple of kittens. They make great stairs up to our mantle which has been converted to a high space for them to go when they want. Since they are rated for 40 lbs, i feel confident that they will accommodate them when full grown.

Pretty nice set of shelves. The shelves themselves are very light weight almost like balsa wood so screws go easily into the shelves during assemble. The brackets are more heavy and probably way overdone. I think the brackets could have been much smaller and more light weight since the shelves they hold are so light weight. Comes with plenty of assembly hardware, screw driver, level, all screws and drywall anchors. Personally I did not drill holds or use the wall anchors, I just used good screws into the drywall itself. Was plenty sturdy since I will not put anything heavy on the shelves. And I didn’t want to put big anchor holes into the drywall. The shelves are not heavy. I suggest painting the brackets white instead of leaving them black. White looks a lot better for these wall shelves. Or paint the brackets the color of your wall. The shelves are on the small side so take note of the measurements. Shelves and brackets can be assembled in various ways to suit your needs and appearance. I’m happy with the shelves and I would buy these again if I needed more smaller sized shelves. PS. Each of the shelves come wrapped in clear shrink plastic and I would suggest not removing the plastic. The clear plastic doesn’t affect appearance and makes the shelves water proof and easy to dust off.

These were super easy to put up, however the drywall screws included were worthless I broke about 5 of them before using my own. They look great and hold a decent amount of books. I love them, as described!

It is easy to put together if you have the right tools. You need a drill and a screw driver. hanging is easier with a small level and not the little thing they give you. The boards are super light and feel a little cheap but they look nice on the wall. Good for pictures

I grow most of our veggies and herbs in our basement and needed shelves to help organize some of the small items I use for my gardening.

Considering the price, these are nice shelves. They are easy to install and are very sturdy once installed. Everything needed to install them is included, screwdriver, screws, molly bolts, etc. We used an electric screwdriver that was much easier than using a handheld one. I didn’t realize it, but these shelves are in 3 lengths, 1 – 16.5″, 2 – 14.2″, and 1 – 11.4″. For my purpose, I used the 2 14.2″ shelves.

Although these shelves are stained, they feel rough like raw wood. My husband stained them again with a colored polyurethane, but they still feel a bit rough. They look fine, but the rough surface may make it more difficult to keep them clean. They look nice in my basement work area, serve my purpose and have helped me to organize, but I wouldn’t like these for shelves in my house.

I hope this review was helpful for you.
