Extremely satisfied

Very nice. I am extremely happy with them. I used painters tape to hold the bracket in place while I screwed it in, worked like a charm 😁 holds a lot of items

Good enough
Size: 15x6.8, Color: Black
As cheap as the day is long but functional. These are basically made out of highly compressed paper and finished to feel like wood. The first one I put up was good with a little tilt to the back which is fine. The second one has a more severe tilt and I had to bend the bracket down to decently level it out. They are sturdy enough to hold quite a bit of weight and look good for what they are. I'm not impressed but I'm also not disappointed, the price is a bit steep for what they are but they serve their purpose.

Great, but bring your own inserts.
Size: 24x7.9, Color: Black
These work great, easy to install. Happy with them. Only problem was the instructions say don’t use the include inserts on wallboard, which meant I had to go out and purchase my own. That’s OK, because I like to use inserts I trust.

Love the shelves, great quality and design. They are very sturdy and perfect for my need. I ordered wine glass holders from Amazon and attached them to the shelves. Impressed and amazed at the look.
