Highlighted Reviews

β€” Alex

"Do not buy this if you have 24 in studs. It’s a pain to install, and while they say it can be installed in drywall with anchors, one jump from my cat pulled it out of the wall.\n\nBeyond that, because I had to reinstall so many times, the shelf ended up breaking so I had to reconfigure our set up...."

Bottom Line

While the shelf has some aesthetic appeal, the significant installation issues and durability concerns make it a less-than-ideal choice. Potential buyers should consider these factors before purchasing.
