I think these shelves are pretty good for the money. I had two reservations based on other comments, which weren't big issues after all. First, the two boards are very light. But they appear to be solid wood. I found there were more than enough of these and they hold up well (acceptable for any decorative shelf - I don't have industrial stock here). Second, the rope adjustment, which involves two factors to consider. 1.) The configuration of how you hang the shelf (on a hook at the top and in the middle - or on a hook in the wall, offset to the back). 2.) Like all ropes, these ropes also have a certain amount of stretch. So if you load or change the load on yourself (especially uneven load), you may need to make adjustments afterwards. One improvement I made was to add two small sticky rubber bumpers to the back of each shelf so they don't mark the wall. This design is so simple I wish I had made it myself. Exact size, wood, stain, rope and hook picked. I love it though, and if you're a busy person or don't have some basic tools, making your own may not be an option.
