I am extremely happy with these shelves. They are sturdy and also thick, my house plants look amazing on them. The can totally support the weight of having multiple pots on them, they are not flimsy material at all. You will have to locate support beams aka studs in your walls to hang them. The shelves themselves our a little bit heavy I would not recommend putting them up on the wall without supporting the weight. you have to consider how much weight you will also be adding by putting décor on them. I would totally recommend testing these out for yourself. In my opinion I can see myself buying a matching set for my other room in the near future. I also love the fact that they have different tones of wood for whichever color scheme you have going in your house to match.  A winning product for me!!!
