Completely Useless Tools
February 9, 2013
I honestly believe that the people who constructed this unholy piece of junk do not understand the most basic levels of physics. There is absolutely no way to hang this thing with the tools that they have supplied. The screws go into the toggle, but then they decide to slide right back out before locking at a completely useless length. Besides that, this thing is so heavy that even when I finally did get it on the wall it was slanted, making it useless as a glass holder. The only way I'm going to be able to hang this where I want it is by going to a hardware store and purchasing separate brackets that will hold it up. On top of all these issues just trying to get it to hang, the thing got to me damaged. Piece of the metal glass holder was snapped off. I am going to have to either glue that back on or return the piece.
The only good things about this piece are aesthetic. It looks nice, aside from the parts that are broken and the fact that it is currently slanted downwards on my wall.

Must be hung on studs
January 17, 2013
Waited 3 months to receive this shelf. Was very pleased with the look when finally received. However, the hanging of this shelf was a disaster. Used the two toggles and screws that were provided and they did not work. The screws kept sliding out of the toggles. The shelf is fairly heavy so the fear is that once you hang glasses on this shelf and add even more weight, it will come out of the wall. This is the second time we have purchased a shelf from Pottery Barn to find that the hardware provided was flawed. The only other option is to hang from studs. We now have to patch and paint two good sized holes in our wall. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Look nice, but too difficult to install.
July 12, 2012
This was exactly what I was looking for, but I could not install them. A very handy friend said he could do it in 3 minutes. It took him almost 1 hour to finish the installation. I had already measured and put in the anchor part. Not happy, but they do look nice and now I'm hoping that they hold and I don't lose all my stemware. I would have returned, but I kept too long before installation was complete.

Very heavy!
July 12, 2012
Nice quality, but too heavy for most walls. We had to modify the way we hang them (using a wood backing and brackets!). The spacing of the screw holes will not necessarily meet up with the studs in the walls.

Great Looking Shelves, Difficult Installation
June 2, 2012
We purchased these shelves for a wine bar/buffet my husband built in our dining room. They look terrific and fit perfectly with our furniture and design, and are a much better option looks-wise than some of the other shelves we had compared. That said -- the installation of these shelves was VERY difficult. Other customers have said the same and it is absolutely true. The screws you are given to hang the shelf are inappropriate to the design. They move around in the wall as you are trying to hang the shelf making it very difficult to get both sides of the shelf in place when attempting to hang. The installation SHOULD be similar to that of installing a floating shelf -- with heavy rods driven into the wall studs -- which would make more sense. Please, Pottery Barn, take note and improve the way this shelf is installed. Definitely a design flaw.

Nice Shelves But...
October 28, 2011
I like the look of these shelves and they look nice on the wall, but they were really hard to get up. The screws that were provided did not work properly. After several attempts and several holes in the wall, we bought different screws. Also, I bought four different shelves to line up next to each other and they are not really designed for that. I had to buy additional brackets to make it work. They look fine now, but there are still gaps because the shelves are not exactly identical and the wear on each of the shelves is different too. Overall, I'm satisfied, but it was a very frustrating process to get the shelves up.

Exactly What i wanted
October 25, 2011
It looks great and holds more glasses than I originally thought. It worked perfectly in the space I had in mind.

Too heavy
October 14, 2011
This shelf is really heavy. Don't buy it unless the space your putting it in, can for sure be in studs. I hung this using the drywall anchors that it came with, put 6 light weight glass on it, and my favorite decorative plate rested on top. A total of 5 pounds of weight on it. I had the windows open on a nice afternoon and the wind blew in and the shelf came down with glasses and plate and all broke. Left big holes in my walls where the anchors ripped through the drywall. Love the way it looks, but the metal wine hook makes it much to heavy to put anything on it.
