Put it together and after measuring and looking at it for a few good minutes (2.5 seconds really) I noted its lack of thought in design. Looks good but a little heavy so you need to hit the studs. The predrilled locations dont come anywhere near a stud and if one is placed on a stud the rest miss by far. Had to get a board and cut it to fit the back. Then drill it to the wall level and font the studs. That board became the holder.
Could use a French cleat set up built into it. That way the board can be drilled directly to several studs but centered where you want the shelf. Then the rest sits onto the cleat and would have been quick and easy.
So more design thought to the fact this can be placed anywhere and the holes already provided do nothing for that. Further each side is shy of hitting a stud, one side could be hitting it but the other could be way off. Making it possible for people to come home with a large hole in the wall from the weight ripping out the drywall since it provides little structural support.
Needs more thought in design.
