I probably am using this incorrectly - I tried to stack cookbooks on it and the weight has taken the shelf down a bunch. So I keep trying to remove books to get it right but - long story short… definitely just a decorative shelf and not meant as a book shelf.

The size is great for location intended, but the wood is very looking and thin.

Just deep in bough to hold larger items. Easy to hang and very sturdy

Put these in my son's new "big kid" room and they look great! They are very sturdy and were easy to hang. I do think they were a bit overpriced, but overall I am very happy with my purchase.

These shelves are an as-advertised solution for lighter, decorative needs. Some have commented about the wood being less than substantial, but I consider them appropriately balanced given the frame size. They are easy to hang, and beefy enough for a few books and pictures in my office. If one is seeking something more industrial in strength? These might not be the solution. The only reason I did not give a five-star rating is because one of the two shelves arrived with one slightly bent arm. It was not so bad that I needed to return it, but enough to cause it to sit a bit wonky on the wall. I just made certain that the mounting was secure, and went with it. All in, pretty happy with the purchase.
