I purchased this shelf to go under my TV and Soundbar, holding my PS4, games and controllers. At first glance out of the box it seems like a great shelf, and for the most part it is. It is very visually attractive, hold a fair amount of stuff, and is easy to mount.
What I didn't like, is that the shelf feels a bit flimsy. I trust my stuff on it, but wouldn't like to see someone bump into it too hard. It feels as if the tempered glass is too heavy for the mounting center. The wire organizing tracks on both side don't seem to be able to hold many wires either.
Overall I like it, and will continue to use it, but I feel a more sturdy mounting surface would benefit the product a great deal.
This is by far the best value media shelf I have every purchased. The product is easy to install and looks clean and professional on the wall.
I only give the shelf 4 stars for one reason...
You can not easily remove the shelf if you would like to relocate it. There are black cosmetic caps that cover the mounting screws, you can not remove these caps without destroying them and if you're not careful, you will damage the shelf trying to get them back out after installation.
There are two solutions if you think you might need to remove the shelf in the future.
1. Don't install them. You can place the shelves over or near the screw mounting sockets to cover them up rather than using the plastic cap.
2. Instead of installing the plastic caps, cover of the space with a piece of black electrical tape. This would be just as discreet and make future remove of the shelves a breeze.
Best of luck.
Easy to install, good for the price, I installed it on top of TV as it is in an awkward wall in bedroom
Looks good
Perfect!! It was just what I was looking for to hold my PlayStation 3, some games and other electronics! Oh, and about mounting.. This was mounted in a converted garage. The walls in this room consist of drywall placed over concrete block. Concrete block being what many homes in Florida are made from. I was able to mount this into my wall with the hardware included..no extra hardware required..but you will need masonry drill bits and a drill to get the job done.
Have had installed in my room for approximately 7 months now. PS4 and cable box are on it, and it hasn't made a peep since the day I put it up. Dust it here and there and it will be fine. Hides wires well too once you figure it out! I mounted the shelf very close to the bottom of the TV in order to conceal the rest of the wiring. No strays for me! (minus the one running to the outlet)

We used this floating shelf in our game room and eliminated the Tv stand that we had and what a difference it made. The floating shelf is very sturdy also and makes everything look so much clean line. I'm going to purchase another one for our pool table room.
The shelf system is very nice, and easy to install. Looks great. Functional for Xbox, cable box, and etc. The only thing is that the shelf should have been constructed or designed about a inch longer in depth. Even though the feet of the Xbox are on the glass, there is a overhang from the unit because the selves are just a little short. For me it's fine, but if you like it even with the shelf floor, just know it will rest over a little.
The instruction manual is actually helpful! Step 1 clearly says to use 1/8" drill bit to make long enough hole. I wish every set of instructions specified the size of the drill bit. It's so nice not have to guess at the instructions. The 3 shelves can actually be installed as 2 shelf and 1 shelf if needed, and it's pretty clear to do so without the instructions. Once all the screws are tightened, the shelves are snug, no wobble. I haven't put anything too heavy, just cable box, modem, router, and a laptop, across all three shelves.
Only thing the instructions could improve on are the translations (sometimes tells to tighten four screws when there are three shelves), but that is minor. It seems the front page was carefully edited since it deals with putting holes in the wall, while the back page has more mistakes, since it is all with adjustments and cosmetic parts.
This is a decent mounting system for components. It's not the sturdiest I have seen, but it will work for what I need. The rubber pads keep the glass from moving around but there is only one actual screw in the back that holds it in place physically. I will say that I removed one star simply because the Quality Control seems to be lacking with this company. One of the screws needed to attach the glass shelf to the bracket had a piece of metal inside the hex head so I could only tighten it finger tight since you can't put the wrench in there with a chunk of metal in the hole you need to insert it in to. Other than that problem, it's a decent mount like I stated originally.
This was easy to install, the vertical shelves look great under a TV and the wire conduit helps keep cords organized. It may take a little finagling to get all your cables in the conduit that runs with the wall but in the end it looks rather good. Careful not to break any of the little plastic rivets on the back when your putting cables in. This comes with all the hardware you need to install it and it doesnt take very long to install, maybe 20-30 minutes. Make sure you mount it to a stud behind the wall and not just some drywall (you may have a catastrophe of epic proportions if you mount it just to drywall). It comes with instructions, follow them and you will seize the day!
This was somewhat smaller than I expected, but that's not anyone's fault but my own. My Xbox 360 just barely has enough room on the shelf and it's not all that big, other people could have issues fitting things on this shelf. If I could be bothered to look at dimensions someday I might avoid this in the future. All in all this was a good purchase for the price I paid. 9/10, B+
