What a difference this simple shelf made in our back room!  By taking away the heavy, clunky, dated tv armoire and hanging the tv  directly on the wall over this floating shelf has transformed our family room immensely! The room does not feel so “heavy” and cluttered anymore! We put our kids bean bag ottomans underneath it and not only does it clear the floor area but adds colorful, visual  interest. A simple, streamlined shelf, easy to put together, easy to hang (French cleat),  and more substantial than  you’d think!  I would reccomend it to friends! Enjoy!
