Review on Rustic Farmhouse Decor 3 Tier Floating Shelves - Round Wood & Metal Hanging Circle Shelf, Geometric Circular Tiered Wall Shelf by Gilbert Pfaff

Needed a shelf for my bathroom, and I can say with confidence that it is certainly a shelf.The assembly was quick enough, but would have been quicker if there were pre-drilled holes in the wood, or at least places marked on the wood where you could line it up. At least it's made out of an incredibly soft wood so you won't have any trouble at all just screwing straight into it.By the way, by soft, I mean it's balsa wood. You know, that wood that they use for model making hobbies and children's science projects because it's so cheap and lightweight? Yeah. That wood. You could probably go to Hobby Lobby or Michaels to get some sheets of the stuff, stain it yourself, and it'd be comparable to these shelves. The good news here is that it can probably hold up at least one toy train.Also, when I was measuring to make sure I got the shelves evenly installed, they were about a quarter to a half inch shorter than advertised, and there were little dents and nicks on them when they came out of the box. Probably a little nit picky on my part, but hey, it's my review.Anyways, let's not forget the metal brackets either. For the most part, it was fine, but the keyhole shelf bracket on the right side is bent inward and I can't get the included screw to slide into place. The entire thing now leans slightly to the left, despite the fact that I took the time to level it before putting anchors into my drywall.It's definitely not worth $40 from a home decor manufacturer though. Maybe at an "art in the park" sort of event from a small business just starting out, but not from a manufacturer. All in all, buyers beware, you're definitely getting less than what you paid for with this thing. At least you'll get a good screwdriver out of the deal.I'll at least give it three stars overall because for all of its many flaws and cheapness, it is, indeed, a shelf. Just look at it go, doing the bare minimum, holding my vitamins and hair dye, not falling off the wall in a heap of splinters and cheap metal. What a champ.
