Review on 🏑 Y&ME YM Farmhouse Wall Shelves - Set of 3 Rustic Wood Small Floating Shelf, Ideal for Bedroom, Living Room, Bathroom, Kitchen, and Office Decor (Light Brown) by Quas Santiago

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not as durable as the first batch I bought from the same seller in 2019; the wood is not that thick for more expensive

I bought the same set in autumn 2019 (same seller) and recently decided to buy another set, but upon arrival I immediately noticed that the wood not as thick as before and costs more. Kit 2019: Wood is 3/4" thick, while the current version (2020) is only 1/2" thick (see photo). Screw holes in wooden shelves, the screws are easy to install because the wood is soft. Because there are no holes, buyers also have a choice of which side of the tree to face up. For example, if there is a defect on one side, you can flip the tree. And similar to the previous set of shelves I received last fall, the wall mount's screw holes line up with the curved metal support, making it difficult to tighten the screw when the shelf is against the wall. The curved metal sides are also slightly crooked, as in the previous set (some of the metal side supports lean to one side or the other). At least this new batch has a keyhole for the screws, unlike the first batch where I had to drill the screw hole myself. Without this type of keyhole it's almost impossible to hang these shelves effectively because the bent metal will block the hole so you can't even tighten the screw to the wall. This kit was also missing one of the long screws for wall mounting. , so like 2019 I used improved dowels and screws. The only reason I got this second set was because it matched the previous set, which it doesn't as the wood is thinner. I installed this set on a different wall in the same room. I hope nobody else notices the difference. Otherwise, I would recommend thinking about another set.
