super easy to put up on the wall of my bedroom, and help it look less cluttered. appearance wise they look great, but quality wise one of the shelves was already starting to fall apart from the stand, almost as if it needed to be glued or secured better? it was super loose and kinda cheap feeling/looking just based on the one shelf falling apart. it's just okay.

Great Storage Solution

Color: White, Color: White

These 16’’ White Floating Shelves are truly wonderful for organizing and displaying items in any room. I’m currently using them in my craft room to store paint, and they have made it so much easier to keep everything tidy and accessible. The shelves are versatile enough for the bedroom, bathroom, living room, or nursery. Installation was straightforward and the shelves feel sturdy, holding a good amount of weight while maximizing wall space. I’m giving four stars because the finish isn't quite as clean as shown in the listing photos—there are some minor imperfections in the look. Just as a note, the picture I’m including is taken right after installation, before adding the finishing touches. You can see where there are gaps along the seams (not talking about between the two shelves). The shelves do come with stickers to cover the screw holes, but I haven’t added them yet. Overall, these shelves are a practical addition to any home.

Great quality

Color: Rustic Brwon, Size: 16in

Hassle but they work great. I love the color, the thickness and quality. They do have some weight but in my opinion, I prefer that. Right now the four shelves are holding up my WiFi routers and remotes. Will buy again

Good quality shelves

Color: Walnut, Size: 24in, Color: Walnut, Size: 24in

These shelves are gorgeous in person. Yes, they're darker than the listing pics, but I actually prefer it. The grain is beautiful, they came well-packed, and mounting them was no trouble at all. Now I've got display space that feels both stylish and practical. Definitely worth it!
