DAKODA LOVE 24" x 8" Clean Edge Solid Wood Floating Shelves | Premium Handmade Quality | Easy Hidden Bracket Wall Mount | Modern Rustic Pine | Set of 2 (White)

These are by far the best floating shelves on the market. Trust me. I've looked. I order two other types from other companies I thought would live up to my standards and they did not. These are superbly built, impeccably finished, and have the best bracket I've come across - which is the real reason this shelf rises above the rest. Others use flimsy small and separated rod brackets. This is the only one I've come across with a single piece bracket, with alternating screw holes to improve anchor leverage.As I said - best floating shelves you will ever find which is why I gave it 5 stars. There is room for improvement though.1. The holes drilled in the back, where the supports slide in are not 100% aligned, so if you simply measure the bracket to be level, the shelf may be a few degrees off - so you need to mark the bracket heights with the shelf on the bracket simultaneously - this is not easy, and requires an extra set of hands.2. Make sure you get heavy duty drywall anchors. I bought the best I could find at Home Depot and was not disappointed. Initially, I had a contractor hang these and they used some cheap ones, and the shelves sagged. The shelves are cheap enough, so don't cheap out on the anchors. As with any floating shelf, there will be some sag - but these by far have the most minimal, and it isn't noticeable - as long as your anchors are solid!3. The bracket is as good as they come - but its missing one key thing - The screw holes are flat, and not countersunk to allow for flush countersunk screws - so they stick out a bit. Thankfully the shelves are already built with a space for the bracket to slide in flush, so not a huge deal. This is really just a manufacturing tip for the future - nothing you can do as an installer.Overall - note you can buy these without worry.

There are two kinds of shelves out there that people purchase. First one is decorative, the second is functional. Dakoda love is both! Some other floating shelves are a joke. Super cheap hollow material, with awful hardware. However there's a place for them if you only intend on placing decorative items like small picture frames or shot glasses. Dakoda love uses beautiful actual stained solid wood and welded brackets steel brackets and robust drywall anchors that are rated at 75lbs/anchor (you'll use 4 anchors for each shelf...you can do the math)I probably wouldn't have spent as much as I did on these shelves if I were just putting up pictures or decorative pieces. but these shelves went into my bathroom that I'm actually using everyday. I also just remodeled my bathroom so I wanted something nicer and more robust that can stand everyday use. The rear of shelf is drilled and countersunk so the shelf is dead flush. They even put a little piece of double sided tape on the bracket so when you first go to place the shelf where you want it the brackets will temporary stick to the wall so you can mark the holes or just drill the pilot holes.I will be buying from dakoda love again if I ever need floating shelves

The shelves arrived quickly and I installed them right away. They are gorgeous. I really like the knot and wood grain. Quality craftsmanship and attention to detail is evident. My wife was blown away. I did a lot online searching and checked local stores but found nothing that met our vision. These shelves greatly exceeded our expectations.One note of caution, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. The adhesive stickers on the back of the brackets play an important role during installation because the pre-drilled holes in the shelves might not line up perfectly. You can't simply drill two parallel holes in the wall and expect the shelf to be level. However, installation was a breeze when I followed the instructions.

I am thrilled with the quality construction, design, and reasonable price for this pair of solid wood shelves. With the brackets installed per the instructions, the shelves were level, very sturdy and positioned exactly where I wanted them.My only suggestion is to mark the top of the shelves. As written in the instructions, the metal brackets have a top/bottom. I installed the brackets, one directly above the other. When I installed the shelves onto the brackets, one was about ½” right of the other. I verified the correct placement of the brackets on the wall. I found the location of the mounting holes are identical for both shelves and properly spaced for the brackets, but are slightly off center. Notice the hole placement in the photo. I had installed one of the shelves upside down. I flipped it over and both shelves fit flush against the wall and were properly positioned. Perfect!I plan to purchase more of these great shelves!

I ordered these shelves to go with an old desk I had, and they match perfectly! My husband and I had trouble figuring out how to hang them (we are not particularly handy). I emailed the company asking if there was a video, and Kyle responded. They made a video for me on how to hang them and posted it on YouTube! You can't ask for better customer service than that. And they look gorgeous. In the end, it was easy to do, but we needed some extra help and got it.
