When I ordered this shelf, I was a little concerned as to how to mount it, but once it arrived I found that it was extremely easy to install. All you need is a phillips head screwdriver. I ordered the 36" unit in Honey. It's definitely not the sturdiest shelf, but its great for displaying a couple pounds of knick-knacks. I docked a star because the Honey color was not at all as pictured. It looks like kind of an oaky brown online while the shelf I got was very goldeny brown/yellow. I wasn't able to use it in the room I originally ordered it for due to this reason, but it looks absolutely lovely in a different room.
