The shelves were very easy to assemble. I highly recommend this product to anyone who needs a little splash of decoration in their home. Please note: Each shelf is about 8 inches.
I just finished building and installing it on the wall. It took about an hour (a long hour) but it came out very nice!
All I needed was a Phillips screw driver.
First off, some of the reviews are wrong. The screw color does not matter because included are colored plugs that fit over the screws and hid them. EVEN the product photo is missing these plugs that hid the screws! Maybe it's a product update or something but it works for me!
Second, people are saying these boards bend. They do not bend at all. I think they are trying to build it while attached to the wall. That is just dumb. You build it on a table or ground... Then you attach it to the wall with 3 screws. NOTE: these shelves will not hold considerable weight... it's only 3 screws holding it up after all.
Lastly, the shelves are very small, only about 7.5 inches tall each. Each shelve length has a 7 inch radius... so not much.
For a cheap, small, wall mounted corner shelves, this is the best deal. I'm very happy with this purchase.
It's hard to complain too much for the price, it's veneer on MDF board. The boards themselves are not horrible but the hardware is. So do yourself a favor and toss it. There's a couple problems, but overall it's fine for nicknacks. First the holes for the screws are drilled as deep as the screws so it's very easy to strip them before they get tight. This is easy to fix if you use new screws that are another 1/4-1/2' longer so they have more bite. Since it's a veneer using wood glue to attempt to make it more secure doesn't work as the glue doesn't stick to the veneer. Also make sure you pay attention to the square pieces only one side has a veneer on it, so you want to make sure that's the side showing when assembling. The mounting hardware is pretty cheap, best to use some better in wall fasteners unless you get lucky in your corner and hit a stud on both sides. The other thing I would say is it's not tiny, but it's not nearly as big as the product photo would have you believe, anything larger than about 6" in any dimension is probably not going to fit.
I'd put this in the category of disposable functional furniture. It's very cheap, it looks pretty nice, and will probably last for years as long as you don't put anything really heavy on it or abuse it. However, I wouldn't expect it to survive a move or any abuse unless you disassembled it, and even then the MDF might not hold screws the second assembly. It's a nice piece for the $24, if it was $50 I'd say it was way overpriced.
LOOks very nice ‘ and easy to assemble.
I love it! So easy to install! Under an hour and I'm a woman! I got this for my bedroom because I have small items such as hair clip, glasses and even lotions. I'm going to get another one for the other corner. I'm happy today because of this. It's going to be a good day regardless.

Having just remodeled my home/office bathroom which included getting rid of one of those tall plastic double door cheap storage cabinets, I opted for a SouthWest color scheme of cabinets, a mojave sand wall color, mojave Corian counter tops and a dark distressed looking barnwood flooring.
With the cabinet gone, that whole corner exploded with emptiness. I saw this corner piece here on Amazon and took a flyer on it as being the one". It was. Fairly easy to put together however pay close attention to alpha id system. It looks inutitive but then it becomes a rubix cube if you mess up one piece connection.
I get a lot of compliments from guests abut the bathroom. Not bad decorating for a guy, dontcha think?
We are not the most handy people so it took us a bit to assemble the self and then hang it. The only instructions that you receive are on the side of the box so that didn't help much. The screws that are included are a shinny brass that really stand out on the dark wood, so I took a black marker and colored them in they look much better now. Overall very happy with this item and quick delivery.
This corner shelf unit looks awesome and works great for little knick knacks. One thing I really like about it is that you can shorten the shelf by a unit or two if necessary, which is what I did. The shelf is sturdy enough, but I wouldn't put any more than 10lbs on any of it, mainly due to being supported solely by 2 sheetrock anchors. Could really use an additional sheetrock anchor somewhere in the middle of the shelf system for additional security.
Pros:
Excellent looking shelf
Works great for small knick knacks and similar items
Sturdy with a light load
Easy to assemble and mount
Ability to size down if necessary
Cons:
Could use an additional sheetrock anchor or two
Sheetrock anchors need to be more robust, bent the heck out of the provided ones trying to install them.
2 Stars for the cheap build quality, complete with screw holes that easily strip out.
3 Stars for the somewhat cheesy finish. I think walnut version of these shelves match the interior of an old cheap trailer house exactly.
5 Stars for the better than average assembly instructions, especially in this day and age.
5 Stars for the stylish yet simplistic art deco design.
I want to live in 70's era California instead.
Just starting to redocrate and I get compliments on this shelf all the time, I love it!
