Be careful when installing the brackets...
Really want to give it 5/5 stars, but the brackets are just so problematic. On the underside of the bracket that holds down the tempered glass there are double-sided mounting tape that came pre-installed. The adhesive is strong, which means you get one shot at applying it to the glass... Sounds not too bad right?Now realize the brackets are held onto the wall by a single screw per bracket, and it will rotate and/or shift about the axis on that one screw. So make sure your bracket is perpendicular to the wall and at a right angle when you adhere the bracket to the tempered glass... Otherwise, the tempered glass will pull the brackets from their perpendicular axis, b/c the mounting tape is very strong. If you don't believe me, look at the photos from other reviewers as well, even those who give it 5 stars you will notice some of their brackets are not perpendicular to the wall nor the tempered glass...Furthermore, pay attention to the padding stickers that come with the brackets that are optional. I made the mistake of putting padding on the arms of the brackets, which seem intuitive... But the instructions (not very clear) specify they are optional spacers for the double-sided mounting tape....As another reviewer mentioned, the brackets only come with screws, which are massive. You will need to find appropriate wall anchors for these if you don't have two perfectly positioned studs...

Bought two, one installed with studs and one without
So these are pretty good shelves. I'm not using them anywhere near the recommended weight limits of 80lbs in studs or 60 lbs with toggle bolts. However, the one thing I will say is that if you intend to use them towards their weight capacity then you should know that the weight limits are for the BRACKETS which come in separate packaging. The glass itself (10x36 for these) probably weigh around 15-20 pounds so keep that in mind for planning purposes.It is obviously easier to install them into studs. I ordered two. The first one went into studs and was pretty straightforward. The second one did not have studs for me to use. I originally tried using drywall anchors and after installing it, didn't find it to be stable enough. So, I used toggle bolts afterwards (which for the record, is what is recommended per the instructions) and it was much more secure.As others have stated, you really get one chance to install the actual glass into the brackets with the adhesive backing. For the second shelf I installed, the glass was already inserted so I had to remove it. What I did to fix this issue afterwards is I used some Scotch heavy duty 20 lbs adhesive tape and that worked well.

Beautiful display shelves
These were a much needed upgrade in my kitchen. I had old rough wood dark shelves and full of dust and this had added light to that corner. Very pretty and easy to install.

Not a very happy person....
I have received a beautiful piece of glass with no clips to install it on the wall. These parts are listed as part of the order. No invoice. Simply nothing! I would not like to make my decision this evening. Hopefully someone will contact me....

Love them!!
Hung these above our commode in bathroom. 12” is a little small for shelf width, but the brackets went well with our faucet. The glass is great quality and we are very pleased with how it turned out!! I looked in to getting wider shelves at our local glass companies but it would cost $80 to have comparable shelves. Who would have thought glass was so expensive? Highly recommend this item!!
