WELLAND Set of 2 Floating Shelves Wall Mounted Shelf, for Home Decor with 8″ Deep (White, 10 inch)

Easy install. Looks great!
I bought these for a very small bathroom with no cabinet space. I was tired of putting things on the back of the toilet and another cabinet over the toilet would dwarf the room. They are just short enough that they don’t stick out past where the cabinet is. We put them in a stud only because we didn’t want them falling if some of the stuff put on them was too heavy. They seemed a bit wobbly, but it think it’s because you put the hardware up and then these tubes stick out and you slide the shelf on them. I’m pretty confident that they’ll hold up. They really transformed the bathroom. I’ve included the before and after pictures.

Just what I wanted
Lightweight and easy to install, variable places to put the screws so you can adjust to where your studs are; also comes with good- quality anchors in case you are putting it in drywall with no stud behind.

It’s Tough to Defy Gravity
It’s called a “floating” shelf because it looks like it defies gravity, sticking straight out of the wall with nothing to support it. Look up “cantilever” on Wikipedia and you’ll see why that’s a difficult engineering challenge. The mounting bracket must be totally rock-solid on the wall for this shelf to have any chance.For a 48″ shelf you might be able to use studs, but then the shelf placement is not your choice. I had to use drywall mounts. The ones provided looked unconvincing to me, and huge, besides. They would create multiple holes in my wall bigger than the diameter of a pen. I bought a box of 3/8″ drywall mounts and screws and attached the bracket with six of them. Yes, six. Two on the sides of each cantilever (top row of holes, the bottom is irrelevant) and one on each end to force the bracket flat. If the support rods are not completely rigid, the shelf will eventually pull away from the wall. Even then…On the plus side, the mounting bracket is flexible, because most walls are not perfectly flat and a stiff bracket would not work. Also, the mounting holes are wide ovals so you can slide the bracket slightly side to side for alignment before you tighten it down. That was especially useful in my case because I mounted the shelf up against a corner.The shelf is made of a hard plastic laminate over thin board, and is hollow, a good choice considering the weight problem. It supports all my Wi-Fi hubs and plugs but I wouldn’t put more than 10 lbs on this shelf. Certainly not a row of textbooks.It took longer than expected to get the shelf mounted properly because measuring and leveling the six drywall mounts was a chore, but it looks good and works fine. However, I recommend that you forget about trying to fool mother nature with a “floating” shelf and get one that has a vertical component such as triangle brackets on the ends, or a shelf shaped like a flat-bottom U.

Looks great
Great for pictures and light weight items. One of the two screws fastening the shelf onto the brackets is a little wobbly, but secure. Thats why I gave it 4 stars for sturdiness. It is working well.

We don’t have room for a night table in our guest bedroom so this shelf was a perfect solution. Easy to install and sturdy. I bought a stud finder, as recommended in the instructions, and installed right into the studs. Very happy with the result.

So, if you are used to IKEA then you will be disappointed. The surface is not veneer, it’s plastic foil. The hardware is ultra-cheap. The manufacturing tolerances are very loose. Easy to mount but it will wobble by design because the rods are smaller than the holes and the screw holes don’t grab the rods, they just stick in a big hole, like a nail. So – useable but no joy – and far, far worse than IKEA.
