Mixed feelings about this. I had gotten 2 long ones as shelves on a long wall. Two friends installed it so I didn't see the process, but they indicated it was a real pain. I was disappointed that the shelves don't fit snug to the wall, but sorta sag forward with the wood French cleat mounting. We had 4 metal studs to use and were a little worried if just those would hold the weight as well. Not ideal and would consider returning but didn't have the heart after all the effort they went to to get them on the wall.
