Super easy to install. I only used the heavy duty double sided tape. I didn’t drill holes in my wall. The wall shelf is plastic, durable material. They are the perfect size for my perfume display. They look amazing on my wall. I purchased this 2xs because they look amazing and they are well made.

Easy install and looks great!

Love these small floating shelves! Bought them to display mug collections in our new home. They were easy to install with the included installation template. I used the screws instead, and the shelves are much sturdier. I added black adhesive felt to keep mugs from sliding off. Not only do they look great, but the price of less than $20 for 7 in a pack was awesome. Will be buying more of these. Very highly recommended.

Shelf is perfect, adhesive tape to hold it is subpar
Color: White - 3 Pcs
The shelf is great for holding my vertical 5" antenna (lightweight), but the adhesive tape only held up about a week on painted drywall and the bottom of the shelf was resting on a window frame. If the adhesive worked well or I used screws, would be 5-stars.

Holds up Dragonball 12" figures

They're the perfect size for holding up Limit Breaker figures. Broly takes two...The supplied tape is terrible; Frieza fell down within a couple of hours. Used nails instead and no issue.
