Great product!
Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 3, Size: 16-inch Mixed, Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 3, Size: 16-inch Mixed
The feeling of the shelf itself is a little off but it was super easy to put together and looks great! It comes with a mounting guide but I didn’t need it. I didn’t use to wall anchors and just screwed them into the wall and they haven’t been a problem at all!

Avoid the GOLD brackets. The finish is NOT accurate.
Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch, Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch
I bought the BLACK/GOLD shelves because the ones in the photo seemed to match the drawer pull knobs I bought (shown in photo below). The product arrived neatly packed in a 17x6x4in. box. I can only assume the shelves themselves are great, but I only made it as far as inspecting the metal brackets sitting at the top, they feel heavy duty, which is great, but the product's photo posted in Amazon shows a nice gold finish, and these brackets have a dark mustard paint finish (with a couple blueish speckles sprinkled into it), there's nothing gold/metallic about it. The paint color reminded me of long-gone diaper-changing days. These are getting returned asap.

Simple, easy, and strong
Size: 16 Inch, Color: White
Kind of on the smaller side but for the price it’s just fine. Easy to install with just a screw driver if you can miss a stud, else you’ll need a drill. Strong enough to hold what a normal person would put on a shelf that size. No worries and it looks great
