Cute. Sturdy.
Color: Wooden, Size: Medium, Color: Wooden, Size: Medium
The wood was light but when I anchored them into the wall and they were very sturdy. Looked very cute on the wall. Affordable and easy to install if you’re handy.

Great besides the finish
Color: Wooden, Size: Medium
These are great. Only thing I wish it would’ve mentioned is they aren’t finished and can give you splinters unlike other shelves. But otherwise, they work for what they needed for, looks great, and easy to assemble for the price. They seem sturdy, but I don’t have much weight on it. Just something to keep from the kiddo

Small shelves, great value
Color: Wooden, Size: Medium
These shelves were great for an area out of the way, would not be perfect for everyone. Super sturdy and easy to install however the wood seems untreated and still a bit rough. The brackets don’t blend well and seem a bit out of place but these small and light shelves have been great at holding small items. I might not trust them with anything too heavy but they have held anything I tried. Only complaint is that they are a bit on the small side as far as depth goes. Other than that, they are awesome. If the brackets looked more sleek and the wood was stained it would be perfect for anywhere.

Great shelves that look cute and are affordable!
Color: Wooden, Size: Medium, Color: Wooden, Size: Medium
These worked perfectly for what I needed them for. I make plushies and needed a way to store and show off the pieces I plan to keep. They were very easy to put together and hang. I did use a laser to make sure everything was nice and straight and also measuring tape to make sure they were evenly placed. Other than that it comes with everything you need to put them together, like a screwdriver. I found the screwdriver to be kind of bad because the tip of it was too soft and after like 8 screws, the tip had no more edges and would just spin. It stripped itself. But that’s okay, I had my own screwdriver. So if you buy these, make sure you have one or else be very careful with the one they give you. Other than that, they are super affordable, cute, easy to hang and look good. In the pictures I added, I am still in the process of organizing the plushies so they do look a little cramped and messy. I figured I would still add them so you get an idea of how they look. I think they look pretty nice and would look even better if I organized my plushies better lol. I def recommend these shelves and I hope this review helps you! :)
