Very disappointed.  I ordered 2 of these shelves.  The rope is knotted under the 4 holes in each shelf.  1 set was like that but far from the shelves being level.  So bad that anything put on a shelf slid right off.  The knotting wasn't even done on some of the shelves of the 2nd set.  I had to make the knots myself repeatedly because it is a challenge to get each knot at the same point or else more unloved shelves.  I have light weight items on the shelves.  No shelf weight limit was given but I don't think they can handle heavy items even a stack of books.  I have them hung but wouldn't order them again nor recommend them.
