BATODA Set of 2 24" Acacia Wood Floating Shelves Wall Mounted – Rustic Farmhouse Wooden Wall Storage Shelf for Bedroom, Kitchen, Home Décor - Brackets and Shelving Hardware Included

I have ordered other floating shelves on Amazon in the past and they do not even compare at all cheap particleboard cheap hardware versus this product, which feels like a real wood and solid anchors no problems installing it everything is completely level and trust. Lots of my valuable collections on it , looks amazing as well REAL grain texture on Amazon? YES

As others have mentioned, the cutout on the rear of the shelves is extremely tight on the brackets. However, this is easily remedied with a little planing and sanding. These are made from solid wood and the brackets are thick powder coated steel. If you’re skilled at woodworking, the needed work is inconsequential, especially given that you get solid wood for the price of MDF. My only real gripe is that mine showed up with only one bag of set screws (each bag of hardware was still sealed so the set screws were absent from the factory) but they’re just basic black #14 x 3/8” wood screws, 6c each at the local big box hardware store. Anyway with a little finishing and some mineral oil I mounted these to a butcher block acacia countertop slab from home depot (their “golden teak” finish is a near perfect match for the shelves) to make a display for our eyeglasses that matches our CB2 bedroom furniture and it turned out pretty nice.

The shelves are beautiful and coordinate with an acacia desk I already have. They are sturdy and stable and a good purchase for the price. I would have given them 5 stars, but the set screws that stabilize the shelves on the underside do not have counter-sunk holes. We had to create them so that the screws would sit flush with the wood.

I’m quite satisfied with these shelves. Getting them lined up was a bit tricky due to some inconsistencies between the shelves, but overall the project turned out well. I’d buy these again.

First the two shelve I received were both used. They had one long bracket with two pins that go into the backside of the shelf. It was obvious that someone else returned these because I could see where someone had pried the bracket out of the shelves. They are really nice shelves if installed correctly and with patience.Let me explain and tell how I was able to install them.1. Examine both sides of the shelf to see which side you want facing up.2. Slide the bracket into the shelf and when it comes into contact with the back of the shelf tap it lightly across the length to see if it will fit. If it does not go in, reverse the bracket and try again.3. If after trying both ways with the bracket and neither way fits, feel along the inside edge of the wood where the bracket goes in. I had to scrape the inside with a razor blade to remove some of the coating. It will not be seen once the shelf is on the wall.4. Try step one again to see which way the bracket fits. Once you know which way the bracket fits mark the bracket with a L and R. I marked mine by scratching a L & R into the left and right side of the bracket. Also remember which side of the shelf was facing up.5. DO NOT USE THE MOUNTING HARDWARE THAT CAME WITH THE SHELF. The screws are cheap and feel like aluminum. I used these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CVT1N4M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=16. Place the bracket into the shelf with an inch sticking out of the back and place the shelf where you want it on the wall. Put a mark at the top and one edge of the bracket.7. Remove the wood shelf from the bracket and set it aside.8. Place the bracket back on the wall and align to the top and side marks. Don't worry about leveling the bracket yet. With the bracket on the wall where you marked it in step 7 drill a hole in the drywall through the center hole in the bracket.9. Remove the bracket and install an anchor in the drywall. If you use the metal anchors above turn them in so that they go under the edge of the drywall. This will allow the shelf to go all the way to to wall. Mount the bracket in the center anchor snug but not too tight.10. Place a level on the top edge of the bracket an pivot the bracket until it is level. When the bracket is level drill or mark the other holes. Loosen the center screw and tip the bracket out of the way of the other markings. Drill and place anchors for the remaining holes. Tilt the bracket straight so that all holes line up. Put a screw into the remaining anchors. Check for level before tightening all screws completely tight.11. Slide shelf onto the bracket remembering which side is up. You may need to tap with the side of your fist or a rubber mallet to make it go all the way to the wall.Remember the bracket is supposed to be tight in the cutout on the back of the shelf to to keep it from being loose on the wall.
