The dimensions are 120cm in length, 24cm in depth, and 3.8cm in height.

The product description mentions concealed fixings but does not explicitly state if wall plugs or screws for mounting are included. It is recommended to check the packaging or purchase appropriate fixings for your wall type.

Are there other sizes available for this floating shelf?

Yes, the product information indicates that photo shelves are also available in 600mm and 900mm widths, though this specific listing is for the 120cm model.

Troubleshooting

Shelf appears uneven or sloped

Re-check the levelness of the concealed fixings during installation. Ensure wall plugs are securely seated and the shelf is properly engaged with the fixings.

Fixings feel loose in the wall

Verify that you are using the correct type of wall plug and screw for your specific wall material (plasterboard vs. masonry). Ensure the holes drilled are the correct size for the plugs.

Difficulty sliding shelf onto fixings

Ensure there are no obstructions or debris on the shelf's mounting channel or the fixings themselves. Gently adjust the shelf's angle while sliding.
