I like the shelf. It has two screw holes that are visible from the bottom of the shelf. I put the shelf over a bed headboard and you can see the screw holes. We were going to reverse the shelf but the metal mount is designed to slant up so if the self is hung with the screw holes on top then the shelf will slant downwards. I would have looked for another shelf if I had known this. Also not strong enough for the plant I was hoping to put I the shelf.
