Customer Reviews for Home Decorators Collection 8 in. D x 24 in. L x 1-1/4 in. H Slim Shelf in Black

I use this as a shelf above my washer and dryer and it was a super easy install and holds my dryer sheets, fabric softener, and laundry detergent no problem.

The installation was easy. It looks great... We put it up just a few days ago.

I wanted display and storage shelves above the windows in our 1950's home's breakfast nook, and thought these floating shelves would look great...and they do. Definitely get heavier duty anchors...we did for the wrap-around shelf unit we created for our breakfast nook. Home Depot carries three lengths of this shelf, so I was able to buy what I needed to fit. Our walls are plaster over cinder block...thank goodness one of us had superior handyman skills and tools. The shelves look terrific, but it was a job to get them lined up on our wavy walls, using two 24" and two 36" lengths. I'm sure these would be a relative breeze to attach to a typical, drywall covered wall. The heavy anchors purchased from Home Depot are Sharkie brand wall mount 5/16" which include 2" screws. Due to the thickness of our wall, we had to purchase 2 1/2" (# 12) screws from ACE, as Home Depot doesn't currently stock that size. Additionally, one of the 36" shelves was bowed, returned, and another purchased, after verifying it was level which is easy to do while it's in its packaging, if you borrow a level from the tool section, as my husband thought to do.

I need a shelf in one of our rooms. I like this brand because the bracket mounts to the wall then the shelf slide into the two dowels and screws from the bottom.

The tubes used to hold the shelf up are rather flimsy and cannot support the weight of the shelf with nothing on it.

Did not work out for me. Put 5 holes in my wall per shelf and they were still wobbly and would not go flush with my wall. Returned them and found much nicer shelves at a better price elsewhere.

These look and feel really cheap. The edges are sort of sharp and the seams are whitish, so it all looks (again) cheap. I bought online and initially thought it was a okay price, but after receiving them I’m wondering why they cost this much. Will be returning.

The shelves were well crafted and made. They have a solid sturdiness that we needed to rest some larger pieces on. We purchased four shelves and used them on walls bracketing our fireplace. They were easy to install and they look great!

Returned. Looked cheap on a custom designed bathroom. Had one custom made.

The rods that insert in the wall, the metal could be sturdier.

Looks nice and is somewhat functional but is a little flimsier than I would like it to be

Just what I needed. Perfect size for the location. We bought three for our guest bathroom - see pic

Great shelf a little expensive but great quality so all in all its worth it.

shelf is loose no matter how much you tighten it. also one of the brackets was not 90 degrees, and had to shim bottom for shelf to level up.

Easy installation and clean, sharp look. Perfect for getting rid of clutter!

Worst wall anchors for wallboard!

The shelf does not hold much weight without tilting forward.

Very disappointed in this product...Drywall anchors do not work well and the mounting bracket is flimsy and the screws you fasten under the shelf to the mounting bracket doesn't hold very well...Nothing about them I like except their look...Even after mounting the mounting bracket into all the studs it still wasn't level and secure...I could have glued a black board to the wall better than that design

After drilling holes and securing the bracket to the wall, placing the shelf onto the brackets and putting in the securing screws, the shelf sits at an angle. It simply doesn't fit the bracket.

Great shelf easy to install.
