Overall I am very pleased with my purchase. The styling / dimensions/ designs were exactly as shown on the web site.   it was a toss up for between these shelves and a pair of similar design / color floating shelves. The metal braces give the shelves some visual 'heft". Honestly I think I could have been happy with either but the metal braces of these paired well with the Industrial Wall Mounted mailbox I also purchased. I was surprised by the weight of the braces / brackets - future buyers will want to take that into consideration when handing them. The hanging hardware is NOT included in the packaging, so an additional trip to the hardware store for the appropriate hardware was necessary.
