Customer Reviews for Home Decorators Collection 42 in. W x 10.2 in. D X 2 in. H Driftwood Gray Oak Floating Shelf

I really like these shelves and have used them throughout my house for display items, electronics, etc. They are easy to install, great quality and give a very clean look to the wall without additional visual brackets. These driftwood gray oak shelves happened to match my new desk so I was very pleased with the finish on them. Although they come with enough screws to make the installation as instructed, I always add a few extra mounting screws to use all the available mounting holes in the hidden mounting bracket for extra strength.

I ordered online and was just what I expected. The color description and photo are a match for what you get. They were a great match with my existing furniture and also the perfect size to display my decor. My husband installed these in a couple minutes, he mentioned these were easy to install.

Easy to install, sturdy and looks amazing!!

I received this floating shelf in exchange for an evaluation. The construction is OK, but I feel that the surfaces are a bit thin, about an eighth an inch on top and bottom. To be fair, the load limit on this model is only 15 lbs, so it will probably be all right. It was very easy to install and all the parts I needed were included. I did substitute a couple of drywall anchors that screw in over the standard ones included. The backplate is very sturdy and after putting the middle screw in a stud and then 4 more screws in anchors the mounting is very secure. If you are looking for an economical shelf for light loads this would be a good match.

Rich Driftwood gray oak Shelf . the unit is a simple 10 to 15 minute install project. the shelf comes with a all required mounting screws and molly's for a drywall . the steel hidden wall bracket is very strong. the unit instructions are easy to follow . supplies you with a list of tools needed to properly install this Shelf unit. the units very stylish once installed on the wall. the metal bracket is well marked as to what direction to mount it. there is a up arrow stamp on the bracket. so there no error in installing it correctly . the unit said it came with 2 set screws - they included 2 black drywall screws not set screws to secure the shelf to the bracket once mounted .this is why I only gave the unit a 4 star rating.

Weld spots are crap but overall good product I had to change some things cause I screwed it into the side of my couch as a table for my projector

It was really easy to mark and to put up I love the way it looks in my bathroom. It took two people to put it up the way I wanted it but it worked great.

The shelves were damaged. Will be bringing them back for replacement.

The floating shelf was very good quality and looked great. Unfortunately it was too big for the area I wanted to use it for.

Be careful same name of color but can get 2 different numbers (so color difference).

So incredibly easy to hang. Comes with a diagram of where to place the screws and anchors. Took 5 minutes to install. Looks perfect!!

The product is a bit flimsy not high quality but not bottom of the barrel either. After installing the shelf it still has a little wobble in it which would be nice if it were more solid. It’s assembly is simple and shouldn’t take for than 10 minutes to put up. There is a template that you can literally tape to the wall level where you want it and drill or screw directly through it and hang the Mount over it. I would recommend getting better anchors the ones it comes with are garbage. Overall it’s a good shelf for the price and it looks nice installed.

Thought this would be a solid board and it is hollow. Not sturdy enough for what i need. Already broken

Very flimsy. Shelf was only lightly loaded and began to sag severely after a few days. Horizontal supports are very weak. Would not recommend.

Provided hardware is laughable, the brackets were not straight being able to be rocked against a known flat surface and result in some odd cants to the shelves, and the installation template is not what you would call ideal as it neither matches the full size of the shelf nor the exact size of the bracket making it difficult to use to achieve specific spacing. Figure on buying your own mounting hardware (the included anchors are the pathetic smooth kind that spin in the wall and hold very little) and know that the shelf will have some substantial movement. That said, the color is a near perfect match to my Vaughn-Bassett bedroom set, so I'm happy with the product overall for my specific application, I'm just not certain I'd buy it again if the finish wasn't such a close match to the furniture in the room.

Dent in one of the shelves.

We tried all the things and we couldnt get the shelf to mount flush against the wall. It was always tilted up at thr slightest angle but bery noticable with a 1/4inch gap between shelf and wall. Disappointed because they are just what i wanted

My husband and I hung this shelf per the instructions and using anchors. The design is terrible. The shelf tips downward and you cannot but anything on it.

Very easy install. Looks great and has accomplished exactly what I want to use it for. I highly recommend this product.

Needed a smaller shelf and this 23.6 inch shelf was perfect. Driftwood gray color was just what we wanted. Delivery was on time and shelf was packaged well.

Nice hidden bracket shelves but the front is about 1/2" higher than the back. The bracket post slope up. Why? So don't try to install around a corner as they will not line up. I should have built some shelves vs buy these. Very disappointed that they slope up.
