If you haven't already noticed, the reviews for this are for both the shelf and the bench. I did not buy the bench, I only got the hanging storage shelf, so my review applies to that item.First, let me start with the good. Once it is built, it actually is really sturdy, really strong, but I highly, HIGHLY, recommend you know what you are doing with building furniture/hanging heavy items on the wall. If not, hire a friend or professional.Yes, this is flat packed and it uses cam bolts and cam locks and wooden dowels to put it together. If you can get even half of them to tighten, you'll be lucky. This is why I strongly advise you know what you are doing and have some basic carpentry skills. I reinforced with wood glue, drilled pilot holes around key connecting points, and inserted wood screws to hold the shelf together in a more stable manner.This shelf installs by first mounting a cleat to the wall and then hanging the shelf onto the cleat. And then the bottom part of the shelf has two holes that allow you to screw it to the wall. So let's talk about that. First, they supply four plastic anchors. I do not recommend you solely use these. The mounting holes will not line up with studs on your wall. So I lined one hole up with a stud, marked that, and drilled a hole to insert the plastic anchor. And then for additional stability, I drilled my own pilot hole where a second stud would be so that this cleat was anchored into two studs and the third, existing hole used the plastic wall anchor. I did the same for the bottom of the shelf that screwed into the wall, I used the supplied plastic wall anchors for the existing holes and drilled two pilot holes and inserted 3" wood screws into the back plate where it met wall studs. To cover the newly drilled holes and screws, you can purchase small stickers or fill with wood putty.So in the end, with some modifications, this very affordable shelf can be bought and installed and provide the looks and durability of one that is 3x in cost.Now, for the tale of two shelves, I don't have a ton of confidence in this manufacturer. I ordered this shelf originally, in the mahogany color. When it was delivered, the box did say mahogany. But when I opened it, I was surprised to find the white shelf inside. Clearly, this was not Amazon's fault, but the fault of whoever packaged the white shelf into the mahogany box. Amazon shipped the right box, the manufacturer packed the wrong colored item into that box. Amazon's customer service is absolutely amazing, told me to keep that one and they would send me another one, no charge. So I figured I can build this one and put it in my garage. This one, the white one, was very easy to build. Everything lined up, all cam locks tightened, it required zero modifications, aside from the additional holes I decided to drill to anchor the mounting clete and shelf to the wall into studs.After a week, the replacement order arrived and thankfully, the mahogany shelf was included in the mahogany box. However, a cam bolt was missing from the parts package. Now the manufacturer does provide extra parts, but of all the extra parts they provide, none of them are cam bolts. Why is that?! So now I figured, do I contact Amazon again or the manufacturer and wait a couple weeks to get the missing part? No, I went to Home Depot and bought a few extra cam bolts. After coming back home with the replacement part, I start to put this shelf together. This one took 2x the effort to assemble. The holes didn't line up, the cam locks did not tighten. This one required me to make all the modifications I listed above, reinforcing with additional wood glue and wood screws.In the end, it all came together and it's very sturdy and looks great, but I really don't think the quality control issues in making these is there. You don't know what type of shelf you will get, one that fits together and tightens nicely or one that requires your own woodworking skills to assemble it. But if you have some patience, some DIY skills, this is very much worth the purchase.Now I know $200 isn't a lot for furniture in the grand scheme.But let's remember that this is ONLY a 4+ ft wide bench, with a couple of marginal wicker baskets and a minimal cushion. It's flatpack, not custom made. It's NOT "solid" wood, even if they can argue its all wood. Mostly the piece is MDF or some other type of particle board. With all that in mind, it's similar to IKEA... but 4 times the price, just for being a less minimalist style.Build issues.I am pretty handy, so even with the build issues I ran into the assembly took me 45 minutes to maybe an hour. The instructions are ok, not great. They end up combined a number of assembly portions into a single step.As you can see in one of my photos, the back panel does not sit flush with the bottom panel, even though everything is tightened into place. My opinion is that this is because the holes for the camlock on that end are off just a bit... causing the back panel to be higher than the side panel.I broke 1 maybe 2 just twisting them with one hand and a screwdriver. Glad they sent a couple extra, I guess. Better hardware would have been my preference.One of the holes to mount the back/side portion to bottom was drilled partially under a corner support block. You can see this in one of my pics above. After a number of minutes of frustration, I had to put the bolt in first then line everything up into the threaded insert so I could get the bolt to thread and tighten.Quality issues.The side panels of the unit are what 18inches deep? The back panel is 50inches... the side panels have two camlocks and two dowels each. The back panel has none, well none attaching it to the bottom of the unit at least.Instead of giving you a more hefty camlock and stud, the camlocks are crap. Next up is the camlock studs. They are too small in diameter. To fix this there is a plastic spacer clipped over the stud body. I am SURE that this is no where near as strong as having supplied stronger hardware to begin with. The little wood dowels are a little lacking as well as they are a little small in diameter so fall out of the holes, AND they are a bit short in most of the holes.Whatever paint or coating they use isn't great. Just in fitting the camlocks and such, some of the coating began chipping off. Also the smell of the unit was pretty strong... obviously not using a low odor, or low VOC coating.The baskets I am sure will live a short life. Yes they have a metal frame. But I thought the wicker was going to break just assembling the baskets.Bolt holes were not drilled in great spots, and didn't even match side to side. Who puts one of the holes UNDER the corner support block? And WHY not move all the holes another 1/2inch away from the corners so that the included allen key could at least attempt to fit/work properly.On the subject of the allen key. Its long leg is about an inch too short. Twisting it spins the short leg into the corner support and sides of the unit. Making it just a little longer and the tool would actually be useful in assembly. I dug out my own wrench which I am sure saved me at least 15 minutes not having to fuss with the supplied tool.Overall.For the price, I think the quality is lacking. There were a lot of corners cut where just a few cents more spent and a little more design time would have had huge impacts.The panels have gaps because the camlocks are not good enough, combined with holes that are not drilled exactly in the right spots. And let's pick nits... these holes have to be perfect if you want the unit to feel like a quality piece.It seems like it should be solid now that it's assembled. We will see...Knowing what I know now, I am not sure I would buy this piece again.Edit:Adding more to the review, and killing some stars now that I have received and assembly the shelf portion.Honestly the best thing I have to say is that the packaging arrived undamaged, and it came in the color I ordered.Beyond that a lot of the issues I noted in the prior review of the bench portion of this product at echoed, and then some.Hardware is lacking. This time around I broke 3 camlocks. I really think that even my 6 yr old would have broke these things.More issues with the board/pieces not being cut quite right and having gaps where none should be.More holes in the wrong place, not properly located... causing one, the broken camlocks, but also if the camlocks don't break causing the damage you see in the pics I attached. None of these holes had any finish issues until I turned the camlocks, at which point the poor quality standards have taken their toll. As the camlocks sit offset in the holes from where they should be, they are causing damage to the finished area around the holes as they lock.$120 for a shelf with 3 hooks and this low of build quality is not acceptable.Truth be told, the quality is so crappy, I am on the line with just disassembling these crappy items and returning them.Look elsewhere.IMO, avoid this brand completely, since I am SURE now having bought two pieces, that the quality issues continue in their other products as well.I was very happy with this bench.
