The shelves are beautiful wood but the manufacturing of the mounting hardware is terrible. For starters, the brackets are mis-aligned so a level shelf has a not-level bracket protruding behind it. Additionally , the holes in the shelf for mounting to the bracket are *enormous* and unsightly, presumably drilled so large to account for the inaccuracy and variation in bracket shape and hole location. Additionally the mounting holes are also useless -- the included screws do not actually engage the wood, as they are too long for the wholes drilled in arms of the brackets.

We eventually made it work -- bending some brackets with a to shape and using our own screws and washers to secure the shelves to the brackets, and will be finding some color-matched wood putty to fill the giant holes, but overall these were a very disappointing purchase.
