Sanus Systems VF2012-B1 Single Column Wall-Mounted Furniture Component Shelf

Installation has some problems. When placing the bolts be aware that you can't use the full left/right of the bracket holes. Place the bolt to either side will result in the bolt head hitting the back of the vertical unit and preventing it from fitting. Also don't tighten the bolts too tight or the vertical unit won't slide on the bracket. I ended up having to put a big washer between the wall and the bracket.

The glass shelves aren't attached. They just sit on the brackets with a small opposing lip at the back. This makes the shelves very shaky to left/right motion. Not very stable.

The wire chases are too small. I have a cable box, surround sound unit (6 speaker wires), XBox 360, PS2 and HDTV. About 2/3 of all that cabling fit in the chases. So now the install looks sloppy.

For the price I wouldn't recommend this.

The wall stand is made of good quality but the design is poor. When assembled there's not much holding the shelves in place. A simple bump will knock them off the unit and break and items you have on them. Very disappointed with the locking mechanism for the shelves would have been nice to have something more than gravity holding them in place.

I bought 2 of these and I bought them because they stated a 50lb rating for each shelf. First off, I had trouble installing them as one of the frames actually bent and rendered it useless. I had to make one shelf work using parts from both. I assembled one with 3 shelves. I have a Yamaha RX-V3800 Receiver. It weighs 38 pounds, however when I placed it on a shelf, it looked like it barely held. The shelf was leaning down and to the left and VERY unstable. (Yamaha receivers place their PSU's on the left side and therefore have an uneven weight distribution). In order to make it look level, I shifted the glass and put some of the plastic pieces between the glass and the left part of the WAY TOO SHORT bracket. If the brackets were longer (came further out) and if the glass was bolted to them, I would feel a lot better about it. I am checking it everyday and it seems to be holding, for now... That 50lb rating is probably double of what it should really be holding.

What I like about this product:

It is well made. The metal is not flimsy and the finish is good.

The glass is thick to support heavy items and tempered.

The assembly is easy and can be configured to meet needs.

The best part: the instructions are well written, easy to follow and with clear pictures detailing the installation process.

I would buy another one and definitely recommend.

Was not impressed. Instructions were poor with not much more than diagrames, once the mounting plate was on the wall the main section would not fit. When we realised that the shelves simply sat there and could be knocked off we decided to return this item.
