Sturdy wall shelves, just need better hanging hardware
This set of shelves looks nice, seems to be pretty sturdy, and was extremely easy to put together.
It is about 40lbs so hanging is definitely not something that can be done alone. Two person job for sure.
It is also not meant to be stub mounted. The holes are not drilled or measured for studs. This is made for a solid wall. That being said you can absolutely hang it on studs.
First off throw out the wall hanging kit they include. Go buy some 2.5” 3/8” bolts. Line everything up and pre-drill your pilot holes in the stud AND the cabinet. Then tighten. I also used some 100lb capacity sheet rock anchors through the provided predrilled holes just as extra support. The thing hangs sturdy and does not budge.
Only other thing is it isnt wide enough to fit the PS4 so I had to stand that up behind the TV against the wall. So if youre buying it as a TV shelf just measure that kind of stuff if it bothers you. I like it standing and hidden back personally so no problem for me.
I take off one star because I had to buy different hardware to hang it (I would have had to buy different hardware anyway if I were to hang it on a concrete or other type of wall).
Aside from that this thing is legit. Wife and I love it. Super simple to put togeather and wire up. Lights work great, and the provided power cord is great to help keep the wire clutters down.
I highly recommend it.
