Review on AHDECOR White Floating Shelves Wall Mounted Display Storage Shelves, Wall Shelf For Home And Office Decor, 4" Deep, Set Of 2 by Christina Reynolds

So putting 6 dry wall anchors and screws in a wall to hang something is basically child’s play when it comes to a home project. WRONG! I love how the items needed section didn’t mention you need a drill. Or that the drill size it says to use is too small to get these anchors in. Also screwing in the anchors, one just snapped and broke. We drilled it through the wall and used another standard dry wall anchor to replace the broken one on the smallest lightest shelf. Then you have to line up the holes just so. We did this by placing the packing thin paper protective paper along the back of the shelf where the hang holds are and punched holes for each shelf. Then by puttting blue painters tape on the wall, we were able to mark with pencil where the shelves would go without having to mark directly on the painted wall. Once holding up each shelf to a strip of blue tape on the wall and marking where the edges would need to go, we used the paper with holes and with an awl and level, poked holes through those paper holes, through the tape, and into the drywall. We had to go up by I believe 2 bit sizes than instructed to get the anchors to screw into the wall. Then when putting in the screws, the anchors were like junk! We had to give up on a screwdriver and needed an electric or battery screwdriver to get them in, and they wouldn’t screw into the anchors straight which threw off the EXACT need for screw placement to align with the shelf hanging hardware. This problem with the screws refusing to go into the anchors straight where we carefullly marked also threw off the shelves being 100% level. We did the best we could. Needless to say after putting the screws in and out some forcing them with a drill to go in not on incorrect angles they tried to go in, but angles we needed for the shelf holes, we finally had the 3 shelves up. I absolutely LOVE she shelves. They are sturdy and well attached to the wall holding glassware even with decent weight on all anchors because of course there were no studs at the spots we wanted them hung. The shelves are great quality and look beautiful. But installing was a royal pain and also recommend as a 2 person job to pass tools and also have the bystander that steps back to look at the wall and shelves to decide where to place them how you’d like them to look. I plan to live here a while now, because I do love my shelves, and after that install fiasco, I have NO plans on ever using floating shelves as decor in a new home again! 😆 I also hung the silver clock on one wall to match my bathroom decor which was another amazon item purchase that was extremely inexpensive and looks very polished and pretty in comparison to other plastic small clocks in the same price range.
