Erdreich Architecture, P.C. Each shelf is like a narrow hollow box veneered with bamboo. There are steel anchors inside the box that brace onto blocking in the stud wall. In this case, the shelves and their mounting hardware were provided by the company that also provided the kitchen cabinets. Thanks.

Erdreich Architecture, P.C. It depends on the particular shelf and hardware. These shelves are part of the kitchen system which was custom designed with henrybuilt (www.henrybuilt.com). As you can see, they hold a good deal of china and glassware and no sagging, due to the stout steel supports contained within the shelves. Thanks.

Erdreich Architecture, P.C. It is comparable to higher-priced granites, but not astronomical. It comes in many colors: check out 3-form.com Thanks!

It doesn't matter that the shelves are partially enclosed - Without doors to cover them, they will get dusty & greasy regardless.

lefty47 Only have open shelves for the things you use daily --- keep the rest behind closed doors . Too many open shelves with kitchen stuff on them just looks junkie. I don't think I would want to use a plate that flys and dust has landed on!

Annie Thornton These shelves are called floating shelves and have interior mounting systems.
