Black & White Maple Floating Shelves

First, the finish on the white painted shelves is bad. The shelves feel like they were never sanded. The surface is rough, and the paint feels like primer. Second and more important your mounting hardware is horrible. Even the design of it is horrible. The mounting anchors you sent deform as you install them. I had three break off as I tried to screw them into the 1/4 hole as per instructions. A proper anchor for drywall should not even need a giant hole. I am tempted to send them back but I have 8 holes in my wall that match the mounting pattern for these shelve. Lastly each shelf needs 8 screws and anchors according to the directions. There are not enough fasteners to complete the job. So next I attempted to use the toggle bolts that were provided. That is next to impossible. The toggle bolts should have come with washers by the way to the bolts do not fall through the wall. The fact that you need to get all those fasteners now floating in 9/16 inch holes to line up with all of the notches and then get them secured while also trying to level the shelf is insane. I am not sure the person who designed this mounting bracket ever actually tried to install it. FYI I worked as a carpenter for a number of years and have a decent set of skills. I will be returning these shelves for a refund. Not worth the money based on the finish, and not worth the aggravation to try and install them.

The new mounting system for these shelves are objectively so much worse than the previous ones and much less versatile. I will now no longer be purchasing additional shelves.

Good quality and easy to install
