4.0 out of 5 stars Attractive, secure, and easy to install, June 2, 2007

This unit looks attractive in most decor. The power cords are MOSTLY (except at the bottom) concealed behind the vertical shield, and it comes with a really convenient installation template that you merely have to tape at the top to a good spot on the wall and along the sides. Put some clear duct tape folded over the paper on the top of the template and along the tape spots along the sides, because you will want to save it.

For all but the handiest person, installation will be a two person job, because one person will need to hold the shelves while the other sets the screws. Short persons may need a step stool or ladder to measure and securely reach the highest point.

If you have a bubble level, pencil, tape, and screwdriver or electric drill and can find a stud, you can do this. The only real challenges are locating the horizontal center of the stud (probably the trickiest) and missing the nailheads in the stud with your screws (luck -- I missed 3 out of 5).

The shelves are heavy duty cast metal alloy with an attractive shiny surface -- more of a molded aluminum alloy than a stainless look, so you will want to clean the fingerprints you leave on them off before you put the Aerogardens on them. They are specifically molded exactly to the Aerogarden bottom contours, so they hold them securely AND no pet or child is going to accidentally knock one off, nor will an Aerogarden vibrate off a shelf.

I gave it only 4 stars because it ships with the worst screws I have ever seen for stripping. They did not fit any of my various bits particularly well and no matter which drill or electric screwdriver I used, the screw resistance going into a stud was so great that the heads wanted to strip just before I got them fully in the wall. Once I realized you can't see the screw heads behind the wire shield, I went and replaced them with nice stainless hex head screws and there was no problem.

Best advice, when you get the set is to take the screws down to your hardware store and replace them with hex head screws of the same length. That will cut the installation time and headache considerably.

One other thing, is that BEFORE you attach the included power strip for the power plugs of the up-to-three Aerogardens, be sure and force the plugs into them while you have them in your hands and can apply the necessary force. This powerstrip had the tightest plugs I have ever seen, and once it was installed I was afraid to apply the force necessary to set the plugs.

Our friends all think my wife's Aerogardens look great in our kitchen. They form a nice conversation piece, and now we have tomatoes, herbs, and the best-tasting and most tender lettuce I have ever tasted right there in the kitchen and ready to go. Unless you just have a lot of extra counter space, this is the way to go, but save that template and the instructions in case you have to take it down when you repaint or you wish to move it.

Overall design is excellent in keeping with the nice design and manufacturing standards of the Aerogarden itself. We have the black Aerogardens, and it looks great with them, but I am also sure it would with the white. I see no reason why someone who had more of a traditional kitchen design could not paint over the silver vertical cord shield and blend it into their decor better.

The mount is a bit cumbersome with the large screws, but if you use smaller screws and washers it works great and easily holds the weight. Great setup and works great even with highest setting on Aero Gardens.

Product arrived quick and in good condition. Instructions were easy to follow. Note-since this does hold three units, it is necessary to make sure you install brackets into solid wood studs or comparable material.
