I was so excited for these shelves, but they are less than expected. I first thought the shelves were bigger, but they are pretty short and narrow. The letters also do not secure in as much as I thought. Instead of that, they are pegs and spin instead of being permanent. I had a very difficult time hanging these because the instructions are not that great. They do not lay flush against the wall once the screws are in the wall and the shelf hangs on the screws. I am not happy with these products.
