Picture Ledge
April 17, 2013
Ordered espresso finish expecting a dark brown and it definitely has a red tint to it. They are beautiful, just not the color I was expecting. Have not tried hanging yet, but shipped quickly!

Holman Ledge...
March 30, 2013
My husband installed these picture ledges in our hallway.
Pros:
The look is nice
The shelves themselves are very good quality
Cons:
The chunkiness on the "backsplash" of the shelf make picture placement a little awkward...
The installation was very frustrating...the anchors kept breaking which led to a few choice 4 letter words. Good thing my hubby had more...
Overall, they look nice. Now I wish I chose something a little deeper so I could mix other decorative items in with the pictures.
Hope this helps!

Exactly as pictured
March 26, 2013
Worked excellent for my project room. Color matched the walls I had already painted perfectly. Only downside is one arrived with mild damage but I painted and sanded out the defect instead of sending back to pottery barn. The other 2 were in perfect condition. I have worked with pottery barn on sending back previous items without difficulty but just wanted to complete this project and since I had matching paint, fixed it myself.

Great Item!
March 11, 2013
Love the picture ledge! It's perfect for just that, a collage of pictures. A little pricey, but if you can get them on sale, well worth it.

I purchased the black shelves for my entry with a collage of pictures we had taken. Its a beautiful display and I am so happy with the ledges and how easy they were to put up (I did them myself)!

Functional ledges
June 24, 2012
Wish we had known before paying for shipping, that the mounting plate used on the wall ledge is NOT used for the picture ledge. Major bummer as we liked the mounting system for the wall ledges. Returned all picture ledges due to mounting system, peronsality preference of ours. Tip: use masking tape on the walls to visualize what length of Ledges you will want and how you'll ant to arrange them.

Good Picture Ledge
April 11, 2012
I LOVE this ledge...I currently have many in my house. However, PotteryBarn has changed the way they make the ledge. In the old ledges I have, there were 2 pieces to each one. There was a hanging brace with it's own level...then the ledge hooked onto it. It was perfect, I'm not sure why it changed. It made hanging the ledge a breeze and the walls didn't suffer so much damage.
When I moved and needed more of the ledges, I was surprised to find that the ledge is no longer held up by the hanging brace, but by a number of screws and drywall anchors. It doesn't make it easy to change where the ledge should go. It's still a good product because the finished look is the same...but I'm NOT a fan of what was changed. You really need to be sure of placement before you start.

Don't buy Holman ledges that don't have mounting
March 19, 2012
First, be careful in that there are different Homan ledges and the online reviews post to ALL of them, not necessarily the one you're purchasing. I made that mistake. The reviews I read talked about the mounting bracket but it turned out there are different Holman Picture Ledges and the ones I ordered did NOT come with the mounting bracket. You absolutely cannot hang a ledge, regardless of how heavy or how long it is, without a bracket. It will never be flush with the wall and there will be movement. Period. This is the craziest thing ever. I returned the ledges and purchased the other Holman Picture Ledges that DO come with the mounting bracket. Be careful when ordering.

Watch installation video
December 14, 2011
Reading the reviews, some said it was easy to install while others said it was extremely difficult. We spent two hours trying to install the brackets. They were not matching up and the shelf kept falling...I watched the instructional video and realized that we had the wall bracket upside down. The paper instructions do not show which way it goes. Once properly installed the shelf hooked on perfectly and was so sturdy. It is so beautiful and we love it...so make sure u r installing the bracket properly n save yourself a lot of stress-rated this excellent hoping people watch the video n don't make the same mistake we did.

Great way to display your favorite photos!

I love the quality of the picture ledges that we ordered and it's so nice that you can put all different sizes of pictures on them. We will definitely end up getting more for other rooms in the house!

very difficult to hang - damaged walls
January 30, 2011
I have ordered several PB shelves/ledges and none of them are easy to hang but they usually come with a wall mount bracket which makes it easy to mark holes and make sure it's level. This ledge just has 3 holes in the back and is very difficult to hang. Also, once I finally got the screws in the wall and attempted to hang it, it wasn't flush to the wall and was very difficult to get all three screws in the holes at the same time. From repeatedly trying to do this I now have several black marks on my wall from the shelf sliding against it.
I would not recommend this product at all.. it's not worth the expensive price tag. If you want a nice ledge/shelf I would go with the other holman ledge that has the mounting track with it and is only about $6 more.
