Moen DN8490CH Preston Bathroom Vanity Review

Large shelf. good glass. tempered The hardest part was drilling the tiles...if you put them in there. 1/4" hole. Next comes the anchor. Be careful not to lose the set screw on the bottom; I lost one unscrewing it. So don't loosen it any more than is absolutely necessary. Looks great, classy and solid.

I had one of these for maybe 10 years until I slipped in the shower and tried to use it. Big mistake, but that's what you do sometimes when you're scared. Guess what ? I pulled it out of the wall anchors I originally used, but the glass didn't shatter or even break on the tub floor. Bought the same thing here again and saved a lot compared to other very similar at much higher prices.

I love having an extra glass shelf that serves both aesthetic and practical purposes. It's very elegant (and a very good price!). The only thing I don't like is that the bracket is not fully under the shelf and therefore items cannot be fully placed against the wall. There are a couple of glass shelves that have brackets all the way under the glass. So if that's a problem for you, I would go with this one. Otherwise I would definitely buy it again!

Looks great when it finally gets going but the instructions and the fact that you have to buy a 'small' flathead screwdriver. Should have come with one. The flat head is the same size as for sunglass repair. If you try to use a regular tool because the screw is so close to the wall, you will scratch the wall. All could have been avoided if the right tool had been provided, I'm sure it wouldn't have cost that much. The installation took about 2 hours with this error.

Installs in 10 minutes. Unscrew the brackets from the brackets with a tiny flat head, remove screws and anchors. Attach template to wall, align, drill 4 holes, remove template, hammer in dowels, screw in brackets, attach fasteners, insert shelf panel, tighten tiny mounting screws, tighten large plastic screws for a firm grip. So easy. Bonus: The shelf looks good and is well made, especially the tempered glass portion of the shelf itself.

bugs suggest NOT to buy a poorly designed wall mount - the chrome hardware that holds the glass shelf doesn't have the usual notch to slide over the wall mount. Thus, only the set screw pushing up holds the shelf in place. Any loosening of the locking screw will result in a build up of toothpaste and broken glass. Inspection reveals milling marks where the metal has been ground off on top, where the usual edge or notch must be dangerous and frustrating designs from a normally reliable company.

Bathroom renovation has to wait another year or two. In the meantime I'll clean up a bit. I bought two of these shelves - one for the bathroom and the other by the sink - and they immediately increased the space. They were easy to install using the template provided. As I wrote in another review of another bathroom fixture, be sure to use a spirit level, masonry/tile drill and wall anchors when going through tile or ceramic. Also make sure to use the correct size drill bit. It's not easy to fix

The shelf looks good and is of decent quality. Depending on your walls and where you need to install it, you can replace the included anchors with more durable ones. If you're lucky enough to have cleats where your bindings should be, you're in great shape. If you're just attaching drywall, consider using butterfly screws or other forms of quality hardware instead of the rather poor quality screws and anchors that come with the kit. The mounting template is also a bit fiddly to use so you can…
