I really like the look of these shelves and I'm glad I made the purchase but there are a few things. 3 of the short 4" brackets that hold the shelves, were bent and I needed to use a wrench to bend them back into shape so that the shelf would lay flat on it. I also found the directions incredibly difficult to follow. Words describing what to do would be ideal but at least have better diagrams. And I also have a question. Do the wooden shelves need to touch the wall or can you choose the angle that it leans at? There is nothing in the directions that suggests/recommends how to display it. I would love an answer. Thanks.
