DAKODA LOVE 8" Deep Clean Edge Floating Shelves, USA Handmade, Clear Coat Finish, Beautiful Grain Pine Wood Wall Decor (Set of 2) (24", Natural)

We wanted real wood floating shelves in our family/living room to complement our other furniture, and the more readily available white/black types would just not work.These arrived promptly, well packaged, and exactly as ordered. The wood stain was exactly as pictured, the stain on all shelves matched, and the shelves dimensions as ordered. The shelves are beautifully smooth. The hardware was sturdy enough to support the weight of the shelves (they are fairly heavy, and we didn't want falling shelves!) We did use a different anchor that we had on hand when sinking directly into studs- just a personal preference. The directions were easy to follow.The 8 inch width is perfect for displaying objects or midsize books.We do wish other (longer) lengths were available; we wanted a 6 foot span in one area. We were able to sink a peg into the end of two shelves (so nice to have real wood to work with!) and mated the two end-to-end perfectly. A little technical, but the end result is worth it.These shelves are exactly what we were looking for- real wood, pretty wood grain, finished to complement our furnishings- excellent. Highly recommended!

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.

Purchased the 2 shelves for my TV room. Love the all natural wood material used, not MDF. Instructions for installation were very clear, and the hardware to hold the shelf is amazing. Follow the instructions, don’t try to 2nd guess the screw hole locations! There is a reason for the way they are aligned. The mollies and screws provided were perfect but recommend larger mollies if studs aren’t available or more weight will go on the shelves. Both shelves had a chip on one edge which I had to repair before installation, or the craftsmanship would have been 5 stars.

It’s always nice when you feel like you got what you paid for and a little more. Simple. Clean. Beautiful product. Easy to install. Although, I didn’t see anywhere in the instructions that I needed to predrill holes. The first drywall anchor I put in snapped. Managed to make it work, but I predrilled the rest and the worked much better. Still snapped a couple though. You have to be very careful with the amount of torque you apply near as the head of the anchor reaches the wall surface. That was a little frustrating. But they still did the job. And I couldn’t be happier with the result. I will be buying a couple more shelves soon!

We installed these shelves in our newly remodeled bathroom. They are beautiful! The wood is gorgeous and super durable. The wall bracket is no joke, I would say it guarantees no sagging shelf. I saw cheaper shelves and am so glad I spent a little bit extra, these are worth every penny. Thank you to the team at Dakoda Love for manufacturing a superior product. We love them!
