I wanted to love this floating shelf. Ordered the black, and although it is 'heavy', the black does not look like good quality in person. It was not tricky to put together, but the instructions are vague. We had to buy more sturdy hardware, including washers to make sure it was secure. Also there are silver screws on the top, and they give you these gross little black stickers to cover them - why not just include black screws? In addition, they give you a particle board for the back that you need to either leave off so that the wires can go behind, or one needs to use a jigsaw to cut and make space for the wires. Isn't the purpose to have your devices hidden inside the cabinet, but how, with no entry through the back? The white might look better in person, but head my warning (and others below) of what you need to do if you purchase.
