I looked for just the right shelves for months.  I wanted a small collection that could display a variety of art objects, photographs, and other mementos around a painting on a focal living room wall.  In fact, I ordered three other sets before I found these.  When I saw this variety of geometric shapes that offered visual interest and were a bit different from anything else around, I knew they would be the right touch.  A bonus is that they are easier to hang than the more standard straight shelf.
