They hang beautifully. Super easy to install. I’m a 32 year old, single woman. 5’4 during a high tide and 130ish. I had one 6ft ladder, a 7volt drill, and a dream. After about 20 min each shelf, both got up on that was just fine. I recommend using masking tape as a great stencil for where to drill the holes! Also, you need to work with the 3 prongs on the wall brace, the ones that slide into the floater. Play with them a bit and it’ll fit right in. (Ziiing!)
