We had all of our photos on a piano and needed a place for them. So glad I went with this wall mounted shelf! I get so many compliments. Still working on refreshing frames, etc., but I love it. Assembly wasn't too bad, however, hanging using the template was a disaster. I love that it added to the room and didn't junk it up as I think a floor unit of some kind would have. Not sure if the template was off or if it was the installer (me). I'd use different anchors than those included; they didn't seem secure enough for how heavy the shelving is. But still would recommend!
