Everything about this is solid and good quality for the price. The shelf itself is a solid piece of oak which is nicely finished and the brackets are solid and sturdy too. Bear in mind that it's not really a floating shelf and the bracket does protrude above the eye line of the shelf, meaning you will need to hide it if it bothers you that it's there. To be honest, the bracket is well-finished as well and looks quite nice.Installation is not complicated and the shelf can be easily removed for things like painting the wall. Bear in mind that this is a solid oak shelf, meaning it's already quite heavy before you put anything on it. If you're planning to use this as a decorative shelf, I'm sure it would be absolutely fine wherever you put it, but if you're planning on using it to store anything with any sort of substantial weight, you'll have to give good thought to the wall on which you plan to mount it. At £35 (the price at the time of ordering), it was fair value for the quality, but the current price of £25 is excellent for the quality you get. Recommended.
