The shelves are very nice once installed, especially when installing as a group. (See photo) A bit challenging to align, level, and hit a stud (16" length). It is important that installers NOT touch the shelf after handling the mounting bracket. There is a dye in the bracket that gets on your fingers that will transfer to the shelf and it is VERY difficult to remove. Also, I would not recommend using to hold more than5- 10 pounds unless you manage to hit two studs.
