SRIWATANA Floating Shelves Wall Mounted, Solid Wood Wall Shelves Set of 3, Dark Brown

Purchased 3 x dark brown pack of 3. These were some of the most affordable floating shelves on Amazon in June 2023. The stain color is consistent within each 3-pack, however it's different between each set (see pics). One of the sets also has some minimal cosmetic damage. I agree with the other reviews noting the hanging brackets aren't level, so take that into consideration when installing. I used the "painter's tape" method, and it was super easy to hang them by myself (I've never hung anything before besides pictures). I recommend having a drill, impact screwdriver, and a level. The wall anchors and screws are included with the shelves, which I always appreciate. Despite some small flaws, the shelves are great. I'm not hanging all 9 together at this time, so you can't tell the color difference, but if I do in the future I could re-stain them to match better. I put some plastic wrap down since I'm placing plants on the shelves and don't want to damage them with water. (I could probably find some waterproof sealant.) Overall, highly recommend this purchase.

Perfect for my intended use. Very happy with this purchase.

Shelves themselves are a lightweight but sturdy pine, or similar, stained to look like dark wood. Acceptable to lovely, and a great steal with 3 shelves for $20. Instructions were a little vague (how large of a pilot hole for the anchors? Do you pound them flush to the wall or not?), but not unexpectedly so. I’ve done wall mounted items before, and know basic carpentry/construction . Smallest shelf went on well, despite my skepticism. 2nd anchor had to be redone, as I’d missed the hangers on shelf itself being a little off, as well as the anchor and screw tilting in the wall. It’s fine, expected mishaps for Amazon furniture DIYs. The middle sized shelf is apparently cursed. First anchor for the middle shelf also goes in beautifully. 2nd anchor gives me some difficulty, but not an unexpected or unusual amount at first. But, as I’m screwing the mounting screw into the anchor, the entire thing collapses in. I now have a ~1” diameter hole in my wall, and an anchor and screw I cannot pull out—no magnet to pull it out, pliers or similar are too big to reach in. The wall has now eaten one of the 6 anchors shipped with the product, and one of the 7 screws (why an extra screw but not an anchor? Who knows!) Frustrating, but I have a collection of anchors and screws on hand. Only, because of the mounting brackets on the shelves, you have to have a very specific size head sticking out of the wall—so no molly bolts, etc. can be used instead of the hardware shipped with the shelf. Also frustrating, but not the end of the world. Only, there’s now a hole where I need the mount to sit—so I switch to the other side. Not quite the placement I wanted, but good enough, right? This time the anchor doesn’t go in; it sticks out a half inch despite all my hammering. I’m a bit irritated now, but the anchor is pullable. I remove it and try again, rotating it so the juts that help make it function as an anchor fit through the now much larger hole in my wall. More hammering and finally—success! Anchor flush to the wall, and in a spot I can actually mount a shelf without having to move the other, well behaved mounting point. Only, as I’m screwing in the actual mounting screw, the entire anchor pops out of the wall towards me (see photo). Well, f@$&. An awful lot of swearing, head scratching, comparing what I have on hand vs what was shipped, debating the costs of spackle, etc. later and I decide I may as well try to mount the largest shelf on the same side (so new hole, new anchor, just ~4 inches away). It goes in beautifully, not a peep of trouble. I even was able to adjust the mounting screws so some power cables could sit behind the shelf with only minor fiddling! So now I have have 2 beautiful, sturdy, wonderful shelves I would give 5 stars for, and 2 giant holes in my wall and a middle shelf I cannot use (and refuse to try again with, out of mutual spite). Decided to split the difference of the 1 & 5 star experience and go with 3. May your drywall and anchors cooperate better than mine!

Excellent quality well made well packaged

I think more like around $20 should be a better price for the shelves, but they are still well-made and they are nice. You can set them up anyway you want to show your books, right side up or upside down either way they look great.
