Review on AHDECOR Deep Floating Shelves Display Ledge Shelf With Invisible Blanket, 24 In, White by Jessica Dubois

I wanted a narrow shelf that was not too modern looking that would hang on the wall under the bedroom TV. The TV is mounted on the wall with a bracket that swivels and rotates. The shelf is a reasonably attractive wood look, which I liked. It is very light weight. It came with wall mollies and screws, none of which is sufficient to hang a wall shelf even if not a lot will be placed upon it. The wall bracket that is attached to the wall is made of substantial metal but what you use to hang it on the wall is not acceptable. We opted to center the bracket on a stud and used the center hole on the template, which seems to have no function as we could not find any reference to it in the instructions. (See template photo). Then since the other holes are not 16" on center, we obviously had to use mollies and screws. Once installed the shelf did not slide easily onto the protruding metal bars as it appears that the holes in the shelf are not lined up well or not drilled well. Once the shelf was slid onto the metal bars, it was obvious that we were having the same problem that others have reported, the shelf does not sit flush with the wall but rather tips forward away from the wall. We solved this problem by purchasing small decorative metal brackets and installing them underneath to hold up the shelf. Also since the electric, ethernet and antenna outlets were located lower to the floor the cables needed to go around or better yet through the shelf We purchased two SERVALITE 2-1/2-in Plastic Desk Grommets from Lowes and using a circle hole saw drilled through the shelf. A couple of notes, the shelf is made like a poor version of a hollow core door thus a very lightweight shelf material "reinforced" in a few places by a thin piece of particle board going from front to back. Of course one of those supports would be centered on the shelf and was affected by our drilling. However once the desk grommets were glued in place on top and bottom, they helped. You must use a grommet on both top and bottom due to the materials and construction of the shelf and they must be glued in place. Once the glue was dry the cords slipped through nicely and the grommet cap snapped in place. The manufacturer should consider a cable port as an upgrade.
