Decent
Color: Dark Brown, Size: 15.7", Color: Dark Brown, Size: 15.7"
Instructions aren’t very clear. Takes a bit to figure out. Pretty cheap quality, but seems to be sturdy. The metal basket part of ours came rather bent and had to do some bending to get it to fit right. Decent size could be little thicker. They look good though once up.

Super
Color: Black - 7 Pcs, Color: Black - 7 Pcs
Super easy to install. I only used the heavy duty double sided tape. I didn’t drill holes in my wall. The wall shelf is plastic, durable material. They are the perfect size for my perfume display. They look amazing on my wall. I purchased this 2xs because they look amazing and they are well made.

Easy install and looks great!
Color: Black - 7 Pcs, Color: Black - 7 Pcs
Love these small floating shelves! Bought them to display mug collections in our new home. They were easy to install with the included installation template. I used the screws instead, and the shelves are much sturdier. I added black adhesive felt to keep mugs from sliding off. Not only do they look great, but the price of less than $20 for 7 in a pack was awesome. Will be buying more of these. Very highly recommended.
