The installation process was straightforward, with clear instructions provided. Once mounted on the wall, the shelf appears to defy gravity, giving the illusion that your books are magically floating in mid-air. It's an eye-catching and conversation-starting addition to any room.
The shelf's concealed design securely holds the books in place, making it appear as if they are stacked without any visible support. It creates a clean and minimalist look, highlighting the books themselves as the focal point.
The mounting hardware worked great for securing the 3 areas of attachment with the screws. To mount the shelf, I began by using a level to mark out the holes. With a 1/16 drill bit, I drilled in 3 pilot holes. I managed to hit one stud (so I used a screw by itself for it) and then drilled larger pilot holes with a 3/8 bit to insert the enclosed anchors and remaining screws into the drywall. The plastic anchors didn't bend or break when I tapped them into the wall with a mallet.
I was hoping to use the shelf for my kid's high school textbooks. While it did physically manage to hold all 6 of them, the books were just too massive. They drooped from the shelf; yet, the shelf remained secure and undamaged. I ended up placing some novel sized books on the shelf instead.
I'm curious as to if the single large shelf unit would work for massive textbooks?

Likes
* It can really dress up a drab wall. Much more eye catching that just a bookshelf or photo.
* It's easy to install. Just need 3 screws.
Dislikes
* You have to be choosey with the type of books used. The ones I planned to use were too deep and too heavy. The whole thing sagged. The pictures on the Umbra site show some with a whole stack of books. I wasn't able to get more than a couple of hardcover books on it, without the sagging occurring. Wish they had used slightly thicker gauge metal. For the price charged, they could afford it.
* The single version has 2 mounting holes one above another, so it offers more support. In this double version, it has 3 holes, just slightly above the shelf, in a horizontal row. This might limit the weight bearing capacity.
* The bottom support book only provides support if other books provide weight on the wall side. It also assumes the very small support "hooks" stay engaged on the book cover. If a guest decides to pull a book down to look at it, it is very likely the whole stack will come tumbling down. This should be considered a decorative solution, not a way to store books you will frequently use. Be ready to yell "don't touch those" if you seem someone reaching for them. I would not put anything breakable below these.
Despite some gripes I really like these and they look great on the wall. I think there are some things they could do to improve them, but overall I'm satisfied. I'm recommending them.
