Used to be great. Not so much now.AllysonI have six of these shelves from years ago and I love them. I recently bought several more and the hardware has really been downgraded. Very disappointing. First, there are no wall screws with this product. The wall screws that came with the older version were excellent. But the biggest issue I have with this product is the bracket itself. This newer version has a shorter bracket and significantly fewer holes to work with for securing it to the wall. Because of the shorter bracket and limited holes, you'll be lucky to catch two studs in the wall. A shelf this size should be able to attach to two studs. While the shelf does span across two studs in my wall, none of the holes are in the proper place for me to access them. I can't slide the shelf over in my case, so I'm left with using anchors exclusively. If you aren't going to include wall hardware, at least provide enough access points in the bracket so that I can safely hang this with my own.2
Beautiful!!AngelaLove these floating shelves. I hung 2 of the 43" oak and they are stunning. They look so much more expensive once they are up and styled.5
Floating shelvesIreneGave it 4 stars because it doesn’t come with the actual hardware to install onto the wall. Had to buy that separately4
Perfect Shelf for Lego’sEmmaThis LACK shelf was easy to install. It’s sturdy for all our legos and pottery.4
Great shelfLuisVery sturdy well built and nice color5
Don’t buy without bracketsAmbroseI installed according to instructions last night, everything was level and seemed sturdy and in the middle of the night it fell out of my wall dented the shelves below it, and nearly knocked over the tv it sat above. Not worth the risk to go without it. 3
What screws can you buy?CharlaI searching and search the app for the correct screw and mounting information for these shelves. Why isn’t there a link to the set where it says “screws for this are sold separately”? 3
Love Ikea's Floating ShelvesKarenI wish they came in more colors like they did years ago.5

Love the look of thisMarlenThese are such great, hackable shelves! I made a floating bookcase out of this and love the earthiness the faux wood option brings5
Leans over no supportGriselThey look beautiful however the wholes are huge compared to the bar it comes with causing the to get loose and wiggle. I do not recommend2
Easy to assemble, looks goodJohnI don't understand the negative reviews. I have six of these, and each was a breeze to attach to the walls. No, IKEA does not provide the wall screws because each wall is different: plywood? drywall? brick? concrete? Do a little bit of homework on what material your wall is made of before blaming IKEA. Assuming you use the proper screws, these shelves can support quite a bit, and they look sleek at the same time.5
greatHaiperfect size, lool nice5
Misses the markJazzminWood shelf does not fit securely on wall bracket even after screwed into bracket. Tilts forward and it is wobbly. We have it securely mounted into the wall. But the unit itself is wobbly.1
Went together nicelyLeslieWe put these cabinets up in our basement for extra storage. They went together nicely. Since they are so heavy, it was a good idea to pay the extra charge and have them delivered to the room where they were put together. It takes two strong people to put them up. The shelving is a little tricky to get in place but feels sturdy after all done. We are happy with the result.5
Awesome shelfBrianI have 4 of these on my walls holding all sorts of things. They always hang nicely and look great. Big enough to hold good sized items, like Lego builds and Funko Pop.5
So happy!DanielleGreat price, easy to install, and they look great. I had to make sure I bought the right screws, washers, and anchors - I didn’t think to buy IKEA’s hardware pack. So make sure you do that when you buy these. The shelves are not solid wood, but they are sturdy once on the wall. Very happy with my purchase, and the price was the best of all floating shelves I found at this size/length.5
No mounting hardwareKristenThis coming with no mounting hardware is bizarre. Be prepared to figure it out yourself and definitely use wall mounts that you'll be sourcing separately.2
Poor packagingJanetOur shelves came damaged due to packaging.
There was no paper or styrofoam to protect the shelves. Unfortunately, they will have to be returned.2
