Joel's Antiques | 36 Inch Floating Shelves for Wall | Made of Natural Wood | Easy Install | Heavy Duty Rustic Book Shelves | Perfect for Bathroom, Kitchen, Living Room | Medium Brown 36x8x2 Inches

I got the 24" version. First, the bracket is not long enough to mount in studs on the ends - that is, the bracket does not extend to the length of the shelf. Second, the bracket is flimsy. I see why it is designed the way it is, so that homeowners can easily drill/screw through the thin metal wherever they want, but it would have been preferable to have a stiff piece of metal with a lot of holes - so that there is greater strength yet it retains flexibility in mounting. Third, this is a lot of money for a piece of pine. Sure, it's solid wood, but it isn't THAT nice.Anyway, I mounted it with a stud screw in the middle of the bracket, and drywall anchors on the ends, as the bracket was not long enough to hit the studs on either end (BTW, as is typical with just about any such item, the drywall anchors included are substandard). I have a plant that weighs about 10 pounds on it, but I wouldn't trust it with much more. It looks fine, and it wasn't worth sending back, but it could be a lot better with a better mounting system.

Utterly Fantastic. They came fast, wrapped well and the instructions were easy to follow. I bought two and they went up great in my new bar. I used a little construction cement to keep them tight against the wall. My wife loves them. Nicely sealed and will last forever. I also like that this is just a guy who makes these in his barn instead of some knock off pine crap from another country.

We were going to build our own shelf but came across Joel's Antiques and decided it would be much easier to purchase a shelf that was already finished and had the proper hardware. Package arrived ON TIME! Also one person was able to install it..and Joel's Antiques provided a specific nail bit to fit THEIR nails which are more sturdy than regular ones. The directions were spot on...they did a great job with that as well. We are VERY happy with the our purchase and would buy from them again!

Amazing shelves that install and work exactly as described. Who'd a thunk a thin piece of sheet metal bent and fastened this way would hold a shelf like that? The finish quality is very consistent. I made multiple purchases and they all matched and worked together. You get what you pay for so spend the money and buy these or you might be disappointed. These sure didn't disappoint me and I'm anal about quality, detail, fabrication, application,...

Ordered the 36" shelf. The shelf itself is quite nice and sturdy. The wall mount is a flimsy strip of metal with a 90 degree bend in it (so part of it goes flush on the wall and part of it juts straight out). The idea is that you drill through this flimsy bit of metal and screw it into studs, and the part of the strip that juts out slots into the shelf, and you screw the shelf into this bit.Well, I got two of these, and with both of them the strip was warped... too warped to level properly. This thin, flimsy, metal strip should be a sturdy piece of metal *with pre-drilled holes* similar to the wall piece on large flat screen TV mounts. As it is, it's just 100% shoddy. My husband is quite accomplished at mounting things and we've got several different varieties of floating shelves in the house. He cursed these the entire time installing (and yes, we read the instructions and watched the video).We live by the freeway, and these shelves have a... bounce to them. A wobble on account of the flimsy strip of metal. The first night after installing they chattered throughout the night from the vibration of vehicles on the freeway. The only way to stop it sans modification is to put very heavy stuff on them. I contacted the seller for advice about this, and their response was to *use some double stick tape* to attach the bottom of the shelf to the wall so it didn't jiggle. Super professional! Just what I want to secure my floating shelves with - double-stick tape =/But, lacking other options, we did just that, with the knowledge that whenever these eventually come off the wall, some of the wall is going to come off as well.So they're mounted (they are my vanity shelves), and they look nice enough, but they definitely have a slight wiggle to them still, even with the tape. As I said, the shelves are high quality, but I would NOT recommend these shelves to anyone, unless they're going to have heavy stuff on them and not be used with much regular utility. The mounting system is just flimsy and cheap and poorly thought out.This is walmart quality at fancy prices.

I ordered 1 to see if I liked it and then ordered 2 more. The install was a little complicated at first because, as a single woman, I have minimal tools so I didn’t have the bit needed to drill into the metal piece but once I had that and help with the first one I hung the other 2 by myself. The quality is superb!! I absolutely love the vintage look the stain is gorgeous! I’m extremely happy with my purchase and the completed look of my half bath.

Easy to install and the shelf looks fantastic. Really high quality produce. I’ve recommended this shelf to several people and they have all had the same experience.

I purchased 3 sizes, the 72”, 60”, and 36” all in medium brown stain. All 3 are absolutely gorgeous and well worth every penny. They arrived promptly, they are of excellent quality, installation is a cinch and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I’ve received several compliments so far, thank you for such a beautiful product that has brought the wow-factor to my family room decor.
