Dolle Shelving Wall Cube Shelf - Brown

This wall cube is described as shelving. When it arrived I couldn't believe how heavy it is. I checked the description which does state it is 17 pounds! It included two each rather small "hooks" to attach to the back of the cube, and small screws and wall anchors. I can't imagine putting a 17 pound self on a well with such insubstantial hardware, much less then adding things to the shelf. It would need mounting to wall studs. This shelf is $50. That's a lot for a single shelf which then doesn't include a proper mounting system. It assembled quickly as described. Although it looks like raw looking wood, it is veneer on top of pressboard. As a big box I ended up putting it on a dresser, with things both inside and on top of the box. I kept it despite its flaws, and am happy how I finally used it, but it has limitations so I could not use it as planned. You really could build a simple, similar box fairly easy.

I like the unique wood look. The shelf is sturdy, attractive and functional mounted under our TV to hold a receiver, DVD player, a few DVD's. I like the simple design but thought the price was a little high. I would definitely repurchase (and I might add more).
