AHDECOR Black Floating Shelves, Wall Mounted Modern Shelves Decorative for Home & Office Decor, Ideal for Bedroom, Kitchen, Living Room, Set of 3

Looking to free some desk space for storage, I started looking at some floating shelves and came across these. I ended up buying them primarily because they were available for same-day delivery and had decent reviews.Immediately after unpacking, I noticed that one of the three shelves had a very small dent in one of the corners. Not a huge deal to me as, by chance, that corner ended up facing away from me and isn't all that visible, but this is definitely something to check for before you hand them. Included in the package were three shelves and the necessary mounting hardware. Directions were included but crumpled around the baggie with the hardware. For anyone familiar with using dry wall screws, though, directions really aren't necessary.Mounting the shelves took about 15 minutes with a power drill. Be sure to use a level and measure the distance between the mounts on the shelves carefully for a good look. My only real complaint is that getting the shelves perfectly straight and truly hanging is extremely difficult. It can be done but requires lots of trying a screw depth, mounting the shelf, and seeing how it looks. "Close enough" was good enough for me, but again, this might be a bit of a deal-breaker if you're wanting a professional look; it'll probably take some time figure out how to get the shelves perfectly flush with the wall.These definitely can't hold all that much weight and are pretty small, but for small items they'll work well (think small office supplies, a relatively small picture frame, etc. - I wouldn't want to put a ream of paper on one, for example). They aren't all that deep, so you'll be limited in what items you can place on them anyway.Altogether, $30 for three fairly easy to install, not-bad-quality hanging shelves isn't a bad deal to me, and for my use case I'm happy with them.

I did a lot of research before buying these. I checked other websites like Etsy. These are truly well made, stable, and very nice looking floating shelves. They look high end and the price point is excellent!

I like these floating shelves, they have a nice color that matches some of the restored wood we have in the home, the brackets are strong and easy to install. The shelves themselves are made of 3/16 inch wood panels. The edges are mitred and the top/bottom wood are panels (more like a box). The inside of the shelf is made with a pressed wood. As far as construction of the shelf, it's not a true, thick piece of 1.5 inch wood. It's manufactured to look like a thick piece (which is different than some other floating shelves on Amazon). If having a true, thick piece of restored wood is important, this won't be for you. Aesthetically, it's fine for me.What I really liked about this set of shelves was the brackets. The bracket are a single piece of metal approximately 12" long with the rods spaced about 8" apart. The single metal bracket makes it easy to level and hang on the wall so it's sit's square and flush. The metal bracket also has a screw/alignment hole in the middle so I could use a level, mark the wall along a line, and align all the shelves perfectly centered with eachother. Last, the single metal bracket is better than two separate brackets because there were more anchor points available. I was lucky to find a stud behind the center screw/alignment hole so the bracket has added strength being attached to the wall.Tip on using the center hole, and depending on what kind of screw you use (I used a metal screw with a rounded/crowned head), you'll want to create space for the screw head in the shelf backing so the shelf backing rests flush against the bracket (and wall).All things considered, I liked these shelves. They matched the color and the brackets and mounting are good. I was slightly disappointed that the shelf is actually a box made of 3/16 panels but it's not a deal breaker because the shelves are light which will help reduce overall weight on the brackets/mounting.

You don't need to be a super experienced DIY person, but you do need some skills and equipment to install this. Mainly you need to center the three shelves and have them be equidistant along the vertical axis (unless you are doing a configuration different from mine). I used a laser level to align them vertically and a regular spirit level to screw the brackets horizontally to the wall. To ensure equidistance, I first set up the top and bottom first (with enough room to accommodate items on the middle shelf later) and then measured the spot for the middle shelf. An electric drill would have helped but my batteries were flat, so I used a screwdriver instead, wasn't a huge inconvenience but an electric drill would have made the job easier.I reused space that was previously taken up by a calendar on a wall of pictures in front of my desk, and I was able to use the resulting shelf space to move a lot of small items (mainly job related awards) off my desk and onto the shelf. I think you will agree that the result is quite nice.

After renovating our bathroom counters and vanity we needed to find a white oak like modern shelf and went through several that were not quite the white oak we were looking for. This truly is the right white oak look and color and I have to say install was so easy as long as you level everything before you drill the holes and once either drilling into a stud and/or using the included drywall anchors these are pretty sturdy and feel confident they won't wiggle like others I've mounted before.

These shelves are exactly what we needed to fill a wide wall empty space. They are small and kind of narrow but nice and easy to install.
