I just got these a few days ago, and I’m so pleased. These are not cheap laminated pressed wood. These are real wood shelves that are hand done. Stained a nice rich walnut and with iron caps on the corners. The bracket system comes inside the wall edge of the shelves. Super easy to install on the wall with the printed picture instructions or you can watch a video. Once bracket is in place, the shelf just slides on. Voila! Floating shelf. The shelves have lots of space to hold just about anything with them being 8” deep. Very beautiful shelving.
