These invisible shelves are really fantastic. Very easy to put up and comfortably hold around seven large books. I bought three and have them in my lounge, everyone has admired them. I thoroughly recommend these to anyone, they would work well as a group in a larger space or even individually when space is at a premium.

Easy to put up. Screws included (though not wall plugs.) Use a spirit level on the horizontal or your books will be squint.
To give you an idea of its size, my lowest book (the one that stays there permanently) is a hardback gardening book measuring 9"x12".
At the moment mine holds a Beano annual, IKEA catalogue, National Geo mag, Chambers dictionary, crossword book and three other paperbacks. And I think any more would be a bit unstable.
Really pleased with its simplicity. Wish I'd invented it myself.

Decent quality, no sharp edges, easy to fix to the wall but if I had a complaint it would be that finding the bottom book in the stack can be tricky. Because of the depth of the bottom plate a "standard" hardback isn't deep enough for the cover to catch on the "hidden" lower lip.
On the other hand it's an excuse to trawl around bargain bookstores to find something suitable. My tip is pick a book you'd never read in a million years and bamboozle house guests when they see you've taken an interest in "Knitting For Profit".
