Woodland Products AEC18W Architectural Elements 18-Inch Corner Shelf, White Finish

Woodland Products AEC18W Architectural Elements 18-Inch Corner Shelf, White FinishI bought a pair of these at Home Depot and they certainly behave as you'd expect a shelf to. However, don't trust their instructions. They recommend using a 5/32" bit to pre-drill for the provided screws (I believe they're #8 screws, which should use a 1/8" or 7/64" bit), and to use a 5/16" bit to use for their anchors, which gives a hole almost large enough to push them straight through with your finger. Instead, throw out their anchors and pick up some good #8 wall anchors elsewhere; the provided ones are nothing but plastic frustration, even when using the correct 1/4" bit. Once I changed anchors, installation was a breeze.

I'm confident that the shelf would hold the advertised 35 lbs on a 90 degree corner, but mine were closer to 93 degrees. The mounting system has enough give to accommodate that easily, but you I believe a bit of stability is lost.

Just what I was looking for. We bought a flat screen TV that we mounted to the wall but needed a place for the cable box in our guest bedroom. This fit the bill perfectly. I especially liked that the brackets are hidden a nice clean look. Shipping was fast too.
