Review on ๐Ÿ“š Rustic White Solid Wood Floating Corner Shelves Set of 3 - OROPY Wall Mount Storage Display Shelf for Bedroom, Living Room, Kitchen (11.4-9.8-7.8 inches) by Jennifer Johnson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Weak home accessories

The shelves themselves are quite nice - I'm not thrilled that the grain runs in different directions between the three but overall they look nice. But as other reviews say, the hardware is rubbish. The countersink in the brackets does not match the intended mounting of the shelves, so the screws that attach the shelves to the brackets are not flush. The brackets stick out like a sore thumb when the shelves are mounted above eye level: I ended up painting them black so they at least blend with the wood. The screws themselves are incredibly weak; If you just screw them into the drywall that's fine, but when I tried to screw one (with a pilot hole drilled and by hand) into the stud, the screw broke before it went all the way in. hole and drill the second from the bolt. The shelves seem strong enough if they're just screwed to the drywall, but then I don't plan on putting anything too heavy on them either. Installing them perfectly is very difficult. There are recesses between the wall and the shelf for attachment to brackets. Despite measuring/making the guides etc. I could not align them correctly. This still works when your holes are disabled, but the frustrating thing is they give you NO wiggle room with them. I also used a spirit level and noted where to screw in the pilot holes to make sure they were as level as possible. I won't buy again at this price.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • There are some downsides
