Installation was not too difficult, hardest part was installing the bracket on the wall due to the stud positions of my wall. There is lots of room to hide cables, about 2 to 2 1/2 inches behind each panel, and it looks really sharp. I bought two, so I stacked all four shelves atop one another under my wall-mounted TV. The shelves are well designed so that they easily bear the weight of my Denon receiver. Bell'O BWS101 Two-Shelf Component Wall Shelf System with Multiple Wood Finish Panels or Paintable Options (Black)
I purchased the BWS-101 for my new HTPC based on the positive reviews I read and the fact that each shelf holds 50 lbs, since the HTPC is heavy (at least 30 lbs).
The instructions were clear and easy to decipher for a beginner like myself, within about an hour I had 1 of the shelves up and it looks fantastic and feels sturdy. The cable management space behind the wood panel is great, my setup looks better than I thought it would. Since the wood accent panel comes in several finishes to compliment and decor or preference I can see my self using this shelf for many years to come.
On a side note, I stripped some of the screws during installation (I didn't drill deep enough into the stud) and called Bell'O about replacement hardware and a very polite woman picked up on the first ring and without question said she would UPS some new hardware immediately free of charge. Quite impresssive to say the least.
This is a solid product. You can choose to mount between two studs or on a single stud. I chose the single stud and put the shelf to the side of the TV (rather than the typical placement below) because I wanted the components out of reach of the kids. I put the subwoofer for my Sony HT-CT100 on the top shelf. That weighs about 30 lbs, but the shelf holds it no problem. On the other shelf I stacked the cable box and blu-ray player. There is room to hide a thin power strip behind the panels in the wire hiding area.
I love my Bell'O wall shelf. It's a beautiful accent item. I was looking for something to hold my DVD player and cable box. I looked high and low for something like a TV stand. I didn't want a TV stand because my 42" TV is mounted on the wall. The unit almost looks like it's a part of the TV. It looks awesome under my TV. Great purchase!
