Looks Beautiful Once Up
As others said, before you attempt this installation, make a trip to your local home improvement store and buy the extra screws and plastic anchors. This will save you lots of frustration in case you use the wrong size of drill bit to put the anchor in. These are very good quality, super sturdy, and look great once they're installed.

Earthy, natural and functional
These are a perfect way to bring metals into our Craftsman style home. The shelves add a touch of modern and contemporary style yet easily mix with antiques. Yes, they may require someone with more 'skills" to hang them, but hey! I'm doing the decorating. Someone else can do the installing. Together the decorator, installer and shelves make a great combination!

A+
Tough, sturdy, with a gorgeous finish and exposed brass welding points. Aces.
If you've ever sunk a wall anchor, it'll take you 15 minutes per shelf.
Get them! They're on sale :)

1 hour/cube to install
I'd like to qualify my recommendation of Yes to say that you need to be prepared to spend considerable time planning how to hang the cubes, measuring, and then installing them. Also, confirming what a review below has written, CB2 does not include enough anchors & screws to properly install the cubes; only 2 per cube are included, yet there are 4 holes and all 4 are needed to ensure stability. That said, we're happy with them now that they're up - they're just never coming down!

Beautiful but useless
I hate that I can't recommend these shelves because they are beautiful - good quality materials, have a nice size and weight, interesting design. However, they are sitting on my floor, and have been for a month, because this website doesn't mention that you need multiple power tools to get them into the wall, and even then, after you've bought a power drill and a power screwdriver, both of which are 100% necessary (and I am the kind of person who usually skips those and installs things by hand even when power tools are recommended) the wall mounts are cheap and would much rather break and split than go in their holes and stay in the wall. I have nothing against the power tools, it would just be nice if their total necessity was mentioned on the buying page. And the mounts are just garbage. In short: beautiful shelves, great design, will never end up on your wall unless you hire a professional.

Looks great!
This turned out to look much better than I ever expected! I thought about the set ups that the website showed but I did my own thing. The hardest part perhaps is making everything line up straight. Definitey want to bring in your handy guys for this one. But it is truly a terrific buy.

very happy with this purchase!
The shelves are lovely: sculptural and functional, sturdy and also multi-use. They are industrial without looking harsh and could fit into many environments. Definitely a good value.
The CB2 website has some helpful suggestions for configurations.
My one gripe concerns the hardware that came with the set. The anchors seem to break easily. You might need to get more from CB2's customer service or your local hardware store.
