Review on Rustic Grey Wood Coat Hook Rack With Shelf And Key Holder - Set Of 2, Perfect For Entryway, Mudroom, And Bathroom Organization And Storage by Bobby Lawson

Nice, but crummy plastic anchors

Before ordering, get out a tape measure and understand the size of these. They're not very big. I like having a bit more sparsely decorated place, but they look bigger in the photos.Note that the product is 16" wide, the normal spacing for studs in the US, but the screw slots are inset a bit. This means you won't get both screws into a stud. I wish they had made this with that in mind. Don't plan on hanging your bowling bag on this, but it should support a few jackets and family photo on top.Also, the plastic anchors that come with this for mounting in sheetrock had these giant threads on them. Maybe it will go into sheetrock ok, but we have plaster (older home), and it just destroyed the plaster where I was trying to install it. I stripped the threads off with a utility knife, which wasn't easy, but was slightly faster than a trip to the hardware store. I would've just bought my own anchors if I weren't doing this late in the day and just wanted to finish it.They give you a paper measuring strip to make guides for the screw holes. But it wasn't marked specifically for this product, so you have to make the holes yourself. The paper had been folded so many times that it was hard to get it to lay flat on the wall. Helps to have 3-4 hands. Honestly, a piece of string might be easier. If I had a laser level, this would've been much easier, but I got it done with a submarine level. The distances between the screws doesn't fall on a nice half or quarter inch measurement, so that's sort of illogical and another annoyance when you don't have enough hands for the job. Anyhow, I was fairly handy in a past life, but I was able to get this up with a minimal set of tools.

Adorable, affordable, sturdy wall shelves. Easy to install, came with a little measuring tool and the screws and anchors worked perfect! Would purchase again.
