Somehow I missed it on the description, but these shelves are plastic, don't get me wrong they are acceptable as an entry level shelving, but they are not Walnut shelves.

Just thought others might benefit from knowing for sure that they aren't wood.

I have installed other photo ledges before and while they were fairly simple to hang, this system beats them all! All you have to is hang a small plastic strip on the wall (it has a level built into it). You add one nail at a time, keeping the level where it needs to be, and then you are done. There are optional anchors and screws if you need them. Then all you have to do is put the ledge on the plastic piece. The piece is made of hard plastic and has a lip for the ledge to hang on. No worries, as it is very sturdy! I use the anchors, because I tend to put several heavy picture frames on mine.

The finish is a nice and comes in several other colors. They are made of wood and laminate materials (but most photo ledges are). There is a lip on the top to help hold frames in place. The Burnes of Boston product line is a bit more expensive than other ledges, but it is worth every penny. The hanging system and detail are worth it. You can try mixing and matching the sizes if you have a large wall to put photos/displays on.

On a positive note these shelves are the easiest to hang I have ever seen. As you get to the longer shelf however, their is a slant downward and that negatively affects your ability to put things up that need to sit up straight. However, for the money I am pleased.

Very good product. It may be plastic but it looks like wood. Very attractive and easy to put up. You can't beat it for convenience, price and looks.

Bought these to hang in my daughters room to display all her trophies. They stack nice against the wall, easy to install too. My 13 year old actually hung them herself. My only issue is that the are not durable enough to hold anything too heavy.. they tilt a bit if something too heavy is displayed on them. But each shelf does hold and display several trophies without tilt.

Amazon shipped quickly ... recieved within 3 days ... good quality merchandise ... installation very easy.

The items are small, but overall, great products and are very easy to install. It has all the instruments included in helping you install it.

The shelves look very nice themselves, but, as others have said, the mounting, although easy to do, leaves the shelves feeling unsturdy. I would certainly limit the weight on them.

On the other hand, the mounting hardware is poor at best. The fasteners that are supposed to screw into the wall are of the poorest quality. After drilling holes, three of the six actually CRUMBLED as I touched them. I wound up using my own subsitiutes to insure a stable mount.

When we received the shelves and started to hang the level-line brackets with the enclosed drywall screws, the screws began to fall apart. Most of them broke once they were inside the wall. Several of them were already broken in the bag, and many of them broke just holding them in our hands. They shredded up our drywall, leaving huge, ugly holes, so we had no choice but to continue to hang the shelves to cover up the mess. Thankfully when they are hanging you don't notice, but the quality of the product is awful. The shelves look cheap, and feel cheaper. With decorations on them, it is less noticeable. I would not recommend this product.

As long as you know that they're not made of wood (although parts that don't show are), this is a nice easy-to-put-up set of picture ledges. I got mine at a big box store that has these in other styles and colors. Took me less than 5 minutes to get these up, thanks to the level being there on the plastic piece. All mounting nails and (if they're needed) anchors are included. All you need is a hammer. If you intend to put other than a picture on this ledge, I suggest weighing the pieces together keeping the total weight to less than 10 pounds. These are not shelves, only shallow ledges. I'm very happy with their appearance.
