We ordered 2 shelves in dark chocolate (kinda darker than I was thinking). 1 came as described, the other did not come with the pre-drilled holes. So without the help to drill those, I would have never have hung them. Also both shelves came “sticky” it was as if the stain didn’t dry/clumped together (just forewarning don’t rest on anything white/light colored if this is how yours came). Also our studs, for whatever reason were 16 inches apart in our home, I think standard is 13 or 14. I ordered the medium length one so that put our inside piece right to the edge of where he had to drill holes/attach to the wall. So the piece that had to go to the wall first, the wood actually ended up splitting because it was so close to the edge. No big deal if you use those wall plug things instead of studs, right? Well we didn’t, so a little improvising with the split wood and ours are slightly unleveled, which really only bother us. Otherwise besides all that, everything turned out great.
