- These are nice quality shelves! Love the way they get hung with the metal dowels that are drilled into it!! I have had so much trouble with floating shelves due to bowed walls or uneven shelving and this helped solve the problem! Bought 2 sets Love Love Love!
- Exactly what I was expecting and easy to install. Solid, quality wood. Yes, you can probably get lumber cut at the store, stain yourself, drill the holes, and find the hardware...but this is all done for you, holes drilled, and hardware included. Thank you for another great product!
- Good quality. Easy to install. Good purchase for the price. Does have an odor when it first comes (front the finish) but aired out in a few days. If you are sensitive I would let it air out a little before bringing in a small room.

- High quality shelves. We ordered 4 and they arrived very well packaged. Installation very easy - only thing we noticed is they don't have pre-drilled holes for securing shelves to wall since it's an option. I would highly recommend these shelves for their quality and overall look!
- It was exactly what I was looking for! It looks great in my townhouse family room. The width is perfect and the two stools I have underneath fit just right. The quality also very nice. I'm very glad I purchased this item.

- I really like the color. Not sure how sturdy this really is but we won’t be putting heavy items on this. The backing is pretty cheap material, but overall we are happy with the look.
- Its very easy to build. White color is bright white I liked. Only reason missing one star is backside material is paper(?) so I didn't put it and painted white on the edge of unfinished as well rather than putting paper back....
- Perfect addition to room and hides excess clutter with totes purchased separately that enable me to find accent color to enhance the look. Assembly went well and is well made for the price.
