Expensive for what are essentially just pieces of wood. The design to attach the shelves to the wall to create the floating feature was extremely simplistic and poorly designed. Did not bracket the shelf tightly enough to keep the shelf horizontally level, was very hard to install the screws so they held the wood tightly to the wall and did not give us confidence in the strength of the attachment. We ended up buying and using black metal brackets. We really thought these shelves were a rip off for the price and minimal design/engineering in the wall attachment.
