How difficult can it really be in this day and age to produce and assemble fully-square wooden pieces of uniform size so that the finished product does not have sides with an obvious taper (ie. facings that are parallelograms or trapeziums rather than rectangles)? We're only talking about a mm difference from one edge to the other, but it's plainly visible to anyone seeing the shelf, and this represents shoddy manufacture. The design of these items is great on paper, but the execution is poor. As well as the facing dimensions being imprecise, the metal bracket that screws to the wall does not fill the cavity of the shelf from top to bottom so that the weight of an object placed on the shelf causes it to sink at the back. The front edge of the shelf is therefore raised higher than the 90 degrees at which it should be to the wall. Some DIY adjustments are therefore required inside the shelf cavity to make it look perfect. The finish on the shelves is actually very good, so there is still good value for the relatively small amount paid. It's just a pity that the makers have not paid attention to detail. It's not as if their production costs would increase astronomically just by being precise! Perhaps it's just a sign of the times -- we have the means to aim for perfection, but not the inclination to achieve it!Read full review

Very quick and efficient, good packing. Well made and easy to fit. The shelf is a little loose on the bracket, so needs padding with tape etc.
