For the price, this is not the quality that I expected. It's made of light-weigh material, likely thin fiberboard. The metal prongs, 3 on this 55" version of their floating shelf, are a little shorter than I would have liked for a more stable shelf, especially since the metal in the tubes doesn't seem to be all that thick either. I can see this shelf starting to lean downward from the wall because of this issue. The bottom line here is that I don't trust this shelf to hold much weight, certainly not the 45lbs the company promises. Installation was easy enough. Of course, it's up to the buyer to be sure that the wall is plomb and has no bows that can make a shelf, especially a longer one not fit entirely flush with the wall. The hardware for installation that came with the shelf worked satisfactorily although I would have liked it more if the larger anchors for wallboard where they're placed in hollows had a more secure feel once the screw was tightened. All in all, I think that this unit is overpriced, not likely to stand the test of time, and not worthy of going anywhere where it would be used to support heavier items and because of its low quality feel anywhere where one wants to make a good impression. In my case, it's being used in a laundry room, but now that it's installed, it will not be supporting heavy bottles of detergent.
