Q: when mounting the bracket on the wall, can you select a location and place mounting screws anywhere along the bracket so as to attach to wall studs? Asked on 2/10/2011 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 3 answers A: Not unless you have the means to drill holes into the steel bracket. There are at least 6 locations to put screws into. You should be able to hit a stud or two. Answered on 2/10/2011 by Melanie from Smart Furniture A: Find a stud or use the supplied anchors Answered on 4/5/2011 by Ralph from Drummonds, TN A: No. There are holes in the brackets where the screws go. With 4 ft shelves, they are sturdy with anchors. Some we could attach to one stud, but others are attached with anchors only. Answered on 11/1/2011 by Mom of 2 in PA from Harrisburg, PA
Q: Would I be able to fit a cable box or DVD player on this shelf? Asked on 1/18/2011 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: It would depend on the depth of your cable box and DVD player. This shelf is 10" deep. What are the depth of your components? If they are deeper than 10" possibly the Landa shelf (which comes in a 12" depth but looks identical to the Floating Wall Shelf) would be your best solution.

Merchant response: We contacted the company that produces this product in response to this review. The company indicated that this was a unique complaint and offered this suggestion:
One way to prevent unwanted pitching or incline is to be sure that the shelf is properly mounted. During installation, try to locate the arrow embossed on the metal bracket. This arrow should always point up. All hardware included with the shelf should be used. If omitted, the structural integrity of the shelf may be compromised. For best results, stud mounting is always recommended.
Also, we hope that you will remember that when you purchase a product from SmartFurniture.com, if you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, we have a hassle free 365 day return policy. We will refund the entire amount paid for the item, the cost of shipping, and even the return shipping if the product is returned within 30 days.
