I had searched for ages trying to find the perfect shelves for a somewhat complicated setup on one of our walls, and so I was delighted to find this design which looked like it would work perfectly. I was a little hesitant because there weren’t any reviews for it, and the Wayfair listing didn’t provide any details about how mounting would work, but I figured, how bad could it be? So. So. So. So. Bad. Shipping took 7-8 weeks, during which I eagerly awaited the arrival of what I hoped would pull together my living room wall. Finally, my long-awaited shelves arrived. And then began the spiral into madness. First thing I noticed, Wayfair lists these shelves as having a 20lb capacity per shelf, 60lb total. According to the actual instructions in the product, though, they have a capacity of 3kg per shelf – so, the listing lies. (For those of us who prefer freedom units, 3kg ~= 6.6lb – less than a third of the capacity Wayfair’s listing claims.) Then came the assembly. Each horizontal piece has pre-cut holes where the hooks are supposed to go to hang the shelves. However, none of these line up between one piece and another, and they are at awkward distances from each other – that is, you can at most get 2 screws lined up with a stud in a standard wood-frame-and-drywall house. The kit does come with wall anchors, but they are the light-duty plastic anchors, the type you’d use for a picture or (maybe) a lightweight shelf, good for maybe 10lb/pair. As the listing indicates, the shelves are ~20lbs, plus 19-20lb of weight on them, so more than 3 pairs of anchors can be comfortably trusted with. We thought about getting different anchors, different hooks/screws, drilling new holes, etc. but for various reasons ruled these options out and decided to trust the kit + 2 studs, and be very careful with installation. (This was somewhat difficult since the screw-hooks included in the kit were not round, but somewhat oval; screwing them into studs was very difficult and into the drywall left gaps in the wall on the narrow sides of the oval.) The assembly starts with the bottom horizontal piece & bottom vertical piece. The way the hardware works means the shelf is not flush against the wall, so there is necessarily a gap, but this gap was outrageous – the shelf tilts down so anything on the horizontal piece would slide right off, and there was a full 1-inch gap between the top of the vertical piece and the wall (with the bottom of the vertical piece touching the wall). Attaching the higher shelves should have fixed some of it, but not that much of a difference. We realized that the vertical & horizontal pieces, which slide together via 2 slots, had the slots cut too deep, so the vertical piece overextended the horizontal shelf. We 3D-printed a shim to plug that gap, and have the fronts align, but then the vertical piece was still too far off the wall – it turns out the vertical piece was not the same depth as the horizontal piece. So we 3D-printed another shim to prop the shelf level. Then came attaching the middle shelf to the bottom shelf. There were pre-bored holes in the middle piece for screws, with one side wider than the other where the screw heads were supposed to go. However, they were cut out the wrong way around. (Now might be a good time to mention that the instructions included in the kit were a mirror image of the actual kit, which was unhelpful). So, we had to bore wider holes on the correct side. Then came trying to screw in the second and third pairs of screw-hooks to get all shelves to be level. Given the tenuous anchoring, we wanted to make sure the weight of the shelves was evenly distributed. This would be a delicate process regardless, but it was made particularly difficult by the unevenness of the screw-hooks. In the end did the best we could, then went back to the 3D printer to print more shims to plug the gaps. Finally we were done with the installation, but then the real disappointment came: in trying to get it assembled, we hadn’t paid too much attention to what it was looking like. The picture here on Wayfair’s sight clearly shows a clean, visible-hardware-free attachment to the wall. This is not the reality. Those ugly, inconsistent screw-hooks are extremely visible underneath each shelf, sticking out by almost a centimeter. We painted over them to help mask them, but they are still visible and the final result does not look like the pictures in this listing. Ultimately, given the amount of modifications we needed to make and the time it took to get the shelves delivered, we probably would have been better off building a shelving set ourselves from scratch. Tl;dr: The Wayfair pictures and description are inaccurate and the shelving kit itself requires significant modifications to be useful. DO NOT BUY.
