Excellent shelves. Just don't use the drywall anchors that come with the kit.

Excellent shelving. I use mine for minifigures and bobble heads. they hold up well. Just don't use the included anchors. I haven't even tried to use them. I have used higher quality drywall anchors multiple times, looked at them and immediately knew I would never use them. Just go to Home Depot or your local hardware store, spend a few bucks and buy for yourself. Attached are photos of the ones I've used. I've read a lot of bad reviews and it seems like people who would use higher quality drywall anchors wouldn't have the problems they have. As for the instructions? What instructions? There is nothing. What I'm about to say is pretty stupid on the company's part. But a little brainstorming and you'll get it. What I did was decide where to hang them, attach the shelf to the wall, and then trace the shelves along the outside edges. I then measured how deep the holes were where the anchor would be inserted and marked it. Then just stick your drywall anchors in, screw them down to the right length so it sits flush, and voila! Some people have said they used these shelves to store books and the shelves fell off. That's because the included anchors are rubbish. Don't use them. They don't tell you the carrying capacity. You will need drywall anchors (like the ones I attached) which will indicate the load bearing capacity. The ones I bought are rated for loads up to 50 pounds.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Low maintenance
