The shelf is not at a 90 degree angle with the plate that rests against the wall. This causes the shelf to sit at a visibly awkward angle. This is not a slight imperfection, but an unsightly defect. The shelf is unusable. The visible screw heads do not match the gold tone of the shelf.

These brass floating shelves are awesome and I like the versatility of being able to change the look.

This shelf is more beautiful in person than pictured. It paired nicely with a mirror in my entry hall.

Ordered 6 of these for a bath suite, very easy to install and look the part.
