Review on Large White Sorbus Floating Shelf 24 x 9 - Wall Hanging Shelves Decoration for Trophy Display and Photo Frames - Extra Long 24 Inch by Tim Arnold

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good shelves when raised but use your own wall anchors and screws

I would like to start by saying you recommend installing your own wall anchors and screws. In my opinion, anyone who uses free anchors and screws deserves the trouble they've had. Find these wall anchors on Revain: B0051IAN5S and these screws: B003TXJAR4. There are many others, but these are my favorites from year to year. easy installation on drywall. If you have a drill, drilling a 3/16" to 1/4" pilot hole will make your job easier and less likely to break. If your project allows, try driving at least one set of wood screws into the wood studs behind the wall panel. . View the product now. These are the standard 1 1/2 inch faux wood faced thin square melamine shelves that are so common these days. It is lightweight and is attached to the wall with a bracket from which protrude two hollow posts that support the shelf itself. The quality is satisfactory, there were a few scratches that I didn't notice when I used it. The shelves are fitted with anchor bolts on the underside to prevent them from slipping off the brackets. They're obscured by two small white discs that don't quite match the product but are a lot better than looking at the head of a metal screw. To be fair, I've never seen a perfect match for white. The shelves are fairly solid against the wall, not moving when I wiggle the free edge. For my purpose, they provided a very open set of shelves that I believe can easily hold 5 or 10 pounds of "stuff" on them. Technically, the wall anchors mentioned above are rated for a maximum load of 65 pounds each, and I used three per shelf since the instructions said continuous weight shouldn't be more than a quarter of the maximum load.

Pros
  • Weight
