Good product, missing hardware
Love these shelves. Have two others I bought a yr ago. Only complaint is that it is no longer ships with hardware even though Internet description said it came with. Also, due to the width of these (4 ft), a template would go far in helping to get these installed level.

Modern and classy
I love this item! We put it near our entryway and put a few frames on it. The clean lines and color make it look very classy and putting the pictures on the shelf instead of hanging it on the wall make the wall look clean and sharp.
I only wish the item came with hardware.

Sturdy and sleek
Got two shelves for a picture wall. The gunmetal color looks fantastic on my light gray walls. As some other reviews mentioned, hardware is not included, but this was better for us because we have concrete walls that need anchors. Perfect!

Perfect for spaces where you want to swap out art
This art ledge is supersturdy and looks great in my kitchen. It took seconds to install with an electric drill (it's not too heavy, and CB2 send a handy template for marking the anchor holes), so it was simple for me to put up by myself. I feel confident it can hold any art I decide to display there -- and I can swap one piece for another without having to put any extra nails in the wall. Win, win.

Great product - easy to install
I got the shelves and went to the hardware store to purchase the screws and anchors to put them up. With the help of a friend I installed them this way: Held the shelf up to the wall where I wanted it to be and used a level to insure that it was even. I took a pencil and traced the round holes in the shelf onto the wall. When done, I screwed anchors into the wall where the holes were (this was the easiest way - to use anchors that just screw in with a drill). I then lined the shelf back up to the holes and drilled the screws in. They are so sturdy and strong, and hold tons of fun things. Note that these are only 4.5" wide, so you are better off with frames and tall slim vases and bottles. ENJOY! Great product CB2

finishing touches
It was hard to find shelves like these. they are fun and different and can be flipped and hung upside down, if you like. I get complents all the time on them.

Modern mantel decor
We got rid of the old mantel piece on the fireplace and replaced it with this simple shelf. It makes the living room simple and modern. The width(48") is perfect for standard fireplace. We have TV on top of the fireplace so we put wireless Wii antenna on the shelve which makes perfect placement for play.

Industrial
I purchased 3 of these shelves and staggered them in the living room. They look great... everyone (guys 2) compliment them. I have a mix of the CB2 frames on them along with some albums. All 3 of mine are flush against the wall and I did not have any issues hanging them. We used dry wall anchors so that we could hang them wherever. GREAT BUY!

Nice quality, but has a serious design flaw
I ordered two of these metal shelves for my small dining area. Out of the box, they looked really nice - good quality, sturdy, cool industrial look. However, the spacing between the screw holes is not a standard 16" apart AND they are not uniform (they are roughly 14.5" - 15" apart), so if your plan is to screw these into studs, then you might be out of luck. They're pretty heavy, and I was planning on placing some heavier objects on them so this was a requirement. Unfortunately I'm forced to return them.

Great shelves!
Great, sturdy shelves that are heavy duty. The hardware (that is not included) shows, so if you choose to use bolts or screws with interesting heads the look of the shelves can change.

Well designed shelves
These shelves are well designed and narrow, making them perfect for showing frames or books. I use mine to store vinyls: you can put 4 stacks of LPs side by side.
However, the black paint isn't uniform, and looks shoddy on the shelves I received. It's fine a few feet away, but it's noticeable when you're at an arm distance. Oh, and there is no mounting hardware in the box. This is a bit annoying, but understandable.
Shame, otherwise this is a great product.

Everthing I Hoped It Would Be
I adore this shelf. It's modern and versatile and can be used indoor or out and in ANY room in your house to add character and interest. I've gotten a million compliements on this piece and would recommend it to anyone. Shipped quickly, came in perfect shape and quick to install.

Great product!
We lined two of these up above our couch and it looks like one streamlined shelf. Simple and modern, yet the finish works well with the antiques in our house.

perfect for the indecisive
I had these mounted on the wall behind the sofa. Its easy to change out photographs and frames while keeping the look sleek and organized. Depending on the mounting hardware you use and the wall finish, could require a serious patch job once removed, hence the 4 stars.

Style + Function
I bought two of these and staggered them in my apartment, and they look great!
I would note that, if you're using them to display art, plates, etc, the lip can obstruct some of what you're displaying. That being said, it's minimal and would only really effect small objects/art.

So perfect for our space!
This is exactly what we were looking for. The description explains it perfectly. The product came in great condition, its been over a year now & it is still holding strong. We went to a local hardware store to get some big industrial bolts to use for decorative purposes. It turned out great & my husband hung it all by himself. We have several frames sitting on it in the hall. But occasionally we will set canvas paintings on it to display also. We have received many compliments on it.

Modern with Substance
Ordered two of these shelves and fortunately didn't encounter any of the mention in other reviews regarding the warped/bent issue. My two were totally straight and once I got them hung, they look great. Due to the thickness and weight of the metal used, they are substantial and oh so very loft-modern. I will also add that I hung them myself and although another set of hands would have helped, with a bit of careful planning and an unhurried approach to the actual hanging, netted no problems whatsoever. I do agree with other reviews which voted that hanging hardware be included. That would have been really nice to have.

worth the money, but please include hardware!!!
I had previously purchased another type of shelf from cb2 and wasn't happy. It didn't stay flush with the wall. But this one is worth every penny! It took my husband about 30 minutes to install with no problems. I do wish that the mounting hardware was provided along with the shelf. It took longer to find the proper hardware than to install. Otherwise it is a great product. Will purchase another one soon.

Eh...
This shelf is okay. Had to send mine back because it wasn't flush w/ the wall. Plus it's heavy & I was kind of afraid that if I couldn't find a beam I might damage the wall.
