Overall this thing is pretty good and For the Price I guess you can't Complain to bad, my 1 and only major Complaint is the Attachment Braces and How they secure with the Plastic peice It just doesn't seem smart or The correct way but so far for my Xbox , Sound bar and a few pictures it's fine.
I really wanted to give this three stars but everyone who has seen it since I installed it has said how cool it looks. It should really be no more than 39 bucks. You'll see what I mean when you get it out of the box but I kinda wrote it off to anything furniture related being stupid expensive right now (07/21) and bit the bullet cause we needed a shelf.
The assembly instructions could use some work. They make what's actually a pretty straightforward build a little more complicated than it needs to be - especially the section describing how to install the mounting brackets.
Before you put the unit together, find your studs (assuming you're not attaching to masonry like the instructions mention) and put the back piece up against the wall, level it where you want - a small level is included btw which was nice - and mark some places to drill holes that line up to the studs. This thing is long enough that you should be able to overlap two studs and still be able to center it how you want to. I drilled four holes just to be safe, and keep in mind they don't need to be perfectly centered or symmetrical as long as they're over a stud - nobody's going to see them unless they get up close and try to.
The mounting brackets... I'd throw them away and go get some heavy duty hex head lag screws and some washers if you're going to put a console or anything you care about besides games and movies on this thing, and mount it to studs like I mentioned above. I wouldn't trust the plastic anchors that come with it and I think the design of this thing is ready-made to pull toggles out of drywall with any weight on it. For that matter I wouldn't trust the top edge of the particle board of the back piece to not just pull apart if it doesn't like the amount of weight you'd put on it using the included brackets.
The quality.... It's particle board and a lot of the pieces were slightly warped out of the box (you can see the bend of the piece in the second picture if you look at the edge of the damaged front piece where it connects to the bottom) and it took some bending to get everything to line up with the pegs and connectors. While I was putting it together one of the little round pieces with the philips head on it basically broke apart as I was tightening it down and shattered and almost went straight through the back of the material. You can see the divot it left in the second picture above, and of course it's on the front of the unit which sucks. It's not terrible and most people won't notice, but I know it's there and just goes to show a lack of quality of the hardware and the material the unit is made from.
It does look cool floating there though once you get it up on the wall......
Very sturdy and easy to assemble. We love this addition to our living room, that adds the storage space we needed without taking up any floor place! My favorite part other than the sleek design is its perfect for kiddos, no bumps or accidents
I like the look and the support system but they have them exactly 16 apart and predrilled. Most peoples studs won't be this exact distance apart so it would be better if not predrilled and they gave a description of how to move. Once I figured that out and moved the holes they look great and seem secure even if the material isn't the best.

Perfect look for my room.
Very sturdy and not too hard to put up. Worth the money.
Okay Value

Nice
Really nice!
Decorative and useful
Easy to assemble as long as you start with 1st step and Do not try to jump a head or skip steps.... Seriously start with step 1....
Corners were damaged. I didn't even put it together after I saw that.
Corners were damaged
Easy to assemble and looks great
I didnt hang it so I cannot speak to that. It was easy to assemble and looks great.
Mounting hardware isn't that good but the shelf looks great. Should be 39 bucks tops.

Less is more
Easy to assemble fits the Xbox series x perfectly looks like it was made for it a little snug but it'll work
Hanging could be easier
