Product shipped without hardware kit. No problem, three days later Stoney Edge representative explains they are shipping an entire new one and a simple hardware kit is not available, seems OK. Once new one arrives WITH a hardware kit I find the alignment of the milled holes very poor. Had to re-pilot holes for the aligment to be correct. Additionally some of the factory predrilled holes simply stripped out with little effort, seems like wood quality is poor. I do not recommend this product, waaay overpriced for the risk of having a similar experience with this product.

The unit is cleverly designed and serves its intended purpose. However, the manfacturing is casually done and, as I assembled the unit, I was thinking the manufacturer needs to pay closer attention to the selection of the wood for the top. The bottom shelf had fewer highly visible finger joints and had the person making the pieces been more concerned about the finished look, switching the two could have improved the product for no cost. The quality control inspector should look at this grading issue. The top piece is only paint grade and not suitable for staining.

I bought this shelf, because I wanted something simple and convenient to hold media devices for our wall-mounted TV as well as getting something that wasn't the boring, plain black shelves that everyone gets for their AV needs.

Pros:

It arrives in a very rugged box, with handles, and all the supplies are WELL packaged. The instructions are simple to understand, and the overall design is pretty straight-forward. Total assembly time: 15min or less

The overall look of the shelf is attractive.

The assembly and mounting bracket give me the feeling that it will be more than sufficient to hold all my devices. The claims of "100lbs on each shelf" I think are incredibly far fetched. I wouldn't want to load more than 50-75lbs total on this entire shelf simply due to the fact it's all held together by a few screws sunk in to particle board.

CONS:

Despite arriving well packaged and in a box that was undamaged, there are still dings and scratches in the wood that are noticeable even after being assembled. One of the vertical pieces has a nice chunk out of it in the corner, and the top has a smaller gouge in it.

My biggest issue with this shelf is how horribly the screw holes were pre-drilled. I got MAYBE 1 out of 3 screws to actually line up perfectly. Most I had to push hard to get them started, and in the case of the small brackets I actually had to break out my drill to make new holes.

The screw alignments and dings in the wood tell me this has horrible quality control. Even when assembled, the wood is not tight all around. I can see gaps where the vertical pieces meet the back.

Conclusion:

It's okay I guess. For the price, I would have liked something a little smoother around the edges so to speak. This thing definitely has the feel of something straight out of Ikea, but at least in my experience Ikea stuff lines up perfectly and goes together tightly.

P.S. I did not contact the seller for these issues, because I can't wait to receive replacements (if they would have offered). I was on a tight timeline to install an entire AV setup in my house.

This is one of the nicest floating wall shelf that I've seen. My grandson doesn't have a very big room, so looking for ways to clear up some space for him. Seen this and thought perfect for his video game stuff, got it all organized and looks great. So happy I came across this

This has got to be one of the most stunning tv shelf's I have ever owned and assembling it was so easy. It comes with everything you need and the instructions are the most easy and detailed that I have had to work with before. This is made with top notch wood and not the fake wood that you get with some products and it is super sturdy. I realize that this is meant be to used as a floating shelf for under your tv that hangs on the wall but I don't have one of those so it is just hung on the wall with our gaming tv sitting on it with our gaming system and games.
