A fabulous purchase that solved my problem of too many books for floating shelves on my crappy NYC apartment walls to handle. Leaving my experience because I'm so grateful to the other reviewers for providing useful info before I ordered! I had a lot of books to store. I wanted the appearance of floating shelves, but the walls in my new apartment are incredibly crumbly. Even very heavy-duty wall anchors would not be able to support a shelf packed with books. I've also dragged bookcases from apartment to apartment for too many years and decided to sell the ones I had before this most recent move. We liked the look of this setup and decided to go for it. Compared to $150+ bookcases, this was a super economical and really beautiful decision. It has that wall-mounted look I wanted, while using the floor to support the structure. As renters we can't put any holes in the flooring, so I did not even screw this into the floor, and it's perfectly sturdy even loaded with 200+ books. These pipes are sturdy, beautiful, and easy to assemble. With a cheap cordless drill, the provided wall anchors, and a slightly above-average home repair skillset, I completed the job from start to finish in about 1.5 hours. You do need a helper for the installation to hold the pipe in place as you put the screws in. Definitely listen to fellow reviewers and assemble the pipe LOOSELY before marking your holes and installing the pipe. I assembled it tightly, then loosened it by turning each pipe two full rotations. The purpose of this is so when you install the pipe, you can twist it up or down to stabilize the structure. I couldn't quite wrap my head around why looser was better than tighter, but I trusted the reviews, and I'm very glad I did. Once I put in all the screws, I just tightened the pipes by turning them either up or down as needed, and the thing locked up perfectly. I bought 4' long, 3/4" thick common pine boards from a lumber shop and asked for the cut exactly 10" wide. As other reviewers said, these fit perfectly between the ridges of the circular pipe joints. Fellow book collectors, just know that you'll need either bookends or tall books to prevent standard-height books from falling off the ends of the shelves. You can see in the photo I used 13" high hardcover librettos for this purpose, though I'll be keeping my eye out for bookends. I hope you go for it! I may add more pipes to the top in the future, I like these so much.

These bookshelves came out fantastic. I was looking for a solution to do floor to ceiling shelves in my home office, and these look very industrial and awesome. Ive got many 100s of pounds on them and they are solid. I used, 2 x 10 x 12 wood, stained it, let it dry a few days then mounted it. This size wood is extremely study, and I highly doubt any bowing will happen ever. Many reviews tell you to build the whole support at once, then to attach to the wall, this is not possible when doing wall to wall shelves, as there would be no way to slip in the wood shelves. I honestly had no trouble building each shelf level one by one. Some important Cons first: • The reviews and comments all talking about how bad the mounting hardware it comes with is are not exaggerating. Using the screws and anchors they supply, you will end up with shelves on the floor. They even came semi rusted straight out of the box. Seriously, dont use it! I bought some #9 x 2.5 T25 screws, these worked incredible. • If you are looking for a true black look, these will need to be spray painted first, they are a worn grey tone, which I personally liked. • These can be finicky and difficult to align and secure. Not so difficult you need to hire someone, but difficult you might need to take a few breaks. If you can use a drill, a stud finder and a level, you got this. The Pros: • They look great. • Cheapest costing solution to add shelves to large walls I could find. • Fully customizable, I made them 7 shelves high, added extra spacing in the center to allow a TV to fit and did some creative shelf skips to allow for larger objects. • Sturdy. They can hold me up if I try and climb them. Overall, very recommended. I would recommend using 1 inch pipe clamps to hold the wood to the shelf.

I love this industrial shelf! I was very impressed with how well it came packaged, I could almost barely get to the contents it was so well packed. I almost didn’t purchase this product because some of the negative reviews about color description and assembly. These pipes are a beautiful, high quality finish that I was looking for. The assembly was very easy, instructions were very clear, and I did the assembly from start to finish without the help of my husband. (I’m a 5-6 on a scale of handiness, 10 being the highest) I purchased this piece to replace a solid white bookshelf we had in its place. This piece changed the whole entire look of my living/dining room. I can’t stop looking at it, it’s so beautiful and I love it! I purchased common board shelves from Home Depot for $12. I purchased 2 1x10x6 boards and had them rip 4 boards to 32 inches. I have the pipes spaced 27 inches apart. The spacing for the shelves are 9 3/4 wide. The 10 inch board fits perfectly as it’s not quite 10 inches. I stained the boards classic gray. I had the pipes assembled in about 10-15 minutes, leveling the pipes and installing them probably took me an hour. Thanks for a great quality and affordable product!

Easy and looks good solid

These look great and add a nice industrial touch to the room. I ordered 2 sets for my family room and built them around my wall mounted tv, kind of like an entertainment center. Not exactly easy to put up as it requires a lot of adjusting to get everything flush and level. Not a huge deal, but depending on how you plan to use these, you may need to have patience, time and tools (drill/saw/level). You will also need to buy wood for shelving. Buying this set saved me money compared to buying each piece from the local hardware store plus these already come with a nice finish.

Loved how easy these shelves were to assemble, they’re solid and look great!

Very easy assembly. They look great I love them!

Waw in

This is a nice shelving unit, sturdy and looks good The problem is pieces don’t fit together and it’s a huge headache assembling it, had to waste lot of time trying to figure which pieces fit. Once it’s done it’s very nice.
