Easy to install and backed by an award-winning design, they are both functional and stylish. ## Description Conceal Shelves come in a set of 3 powder coated silver floating bookshelves that become invisible behind a stack of books, transforming the books into a work of art. The shelves have flexibility in the mounting formation and can be displayed as a group or separately, linear in orientation or staggered. Conceal has a small lip to hold the book cover from falling and give off the illusion of a floating shelf. The set is space-saving and can fit into awkward wall spaces to securely nestle your books. Coming in a sheen silver finish, Conceal can integrate seamlessly into any space, adding dimension. The small shelf size measures at 5.5 x 5.25 x 5.5 inches (14 x 13 x 14 cm) and hold up to 15 pounds (7 kg). The larger shelf measures 7 x 6.75 x 5.5" (18 x 17 x 14 cm) and holds up to 20 pounds (9 kg). This shelf is made with an eco-friendlier finish. It produces 85% less water and solid waste than traditional electroplating finishes. Review: Love these shelves - Love these shelves! Everyone who comes over comments on how much they like the look, they can hardly figure out how it works! They are super easy to install by way of the two bolt holes in the bracket provided. I used: http://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B0051IBDKW?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_14 (TOGGLER SNAPTOGGLE BB Toggle Anchor with Bolts) with them as another reviewer suggested and they worked perfectly. I looked at a lot of reviews to figure out the best hanging/invisible shelf and I am glad I found this, my only concern was how fragile they were going to be while taking the books on and off the shelf. Thankfully the shelf holds up well to movement, the bottom book stays where it is supposed to when removing books. You have to be conscious of the fact that the books under the one you're taking can't stray to fall from the wall obviously, that will cause the books to tumble but it's never happened to me. Another concern is how many books it can hold, i mean a shelf that holds 3 books is pretty worthless to me. These shelves can hold 6, 7 or 8 normal hard covered books, anymore and it gets dicey. That's more than enough though since I bought 6 of them and staggered them about the place. It's a nice sturdy little shelf that will bring you compliments all day due to its floating invisibly on your wall. You can't see it at all once the books are on it.. I am ordering more and will look at the other kinds of shelves from Umbra. I think they have a double shelf as well. Stop thinking, buy this shelf and be done with it, you'll be happy you did! Review: High Quality, Doesn't Work for Big Textbooks - I ordered the double shelf unit in Nickel. 1st impression: It's a solid, quality shelf. Due to the hidden nature of the it, appearance doesn't really matter in this situation but the shelf looks really nice, even before it's concealed by objects. (So if you're intending to use this in a way that happens to shows the shelf, I would say go for it.) The mounting hardware worked great for securing the 3 areas of attachment with the screws. To mount the shelf, I began by using a level to mark out the holes. With a 1/16 drill bit, I drilled in 3 pilot holes. I managed to hit one stud (so I used a screw by itself for it) and then drilled larger pilot holes with a 3/8 bit to insert the enclosed anchors and remaining screws into the drywall. The plastic anchors didn't bend or break when I tapped them into the wall with a mallet. I was hoping to use the shelf for my kid's high school textbooks. While it did physically manage to hold all 6 of them, the books were just too massive. They drooped from the shelf; yet, the shelf remained secure and undamaged. I ended up placing some novel sized books on the shelf instead. I'm curious as to if the single large shelf unit would work for massive textbooks? ## Features - Polyester Blend - INVISIBLE BOOK STORAGE: Conceal floating bookshelves create a unique, space-saving display by making your books appear to float on the wall.

That is so your child can’t attempt to climb them like stairs to heaven. Hope this helps. Enjoy! **Q: Time out.. how does the first book's bottom cover stay closed? Won't it hang?** A: There's a small prong that keeps the book cover in place. So long as the book you pick is big enough the cover will stay up. I've had my shelf installed for over a month and it hasn't slipped once. **Q: Dimensions not clear: What is the offset from the wall? Width of the lip? Width of the back-plate? Height of the back-plate?** A: There is barely any offset from the wall (if you're asking about the thickness of the bracket itself), but as for the ledge the first book rests on, will depend on which model you are buying. There are heavier-duty brackets. I have both. The smaller one is great for mostly paperback books, and the ledge extends 4.75" from wall and 5.25" wide. Height of the backplate is 5.5". For larger bracket, ledge extends 6.25" from wall and 6.5" wide. Backplate is still 5.5". **Q: Would a tv speaker be able to be used on these? Wanted to use as surround sound behind couch** A: It could probably hold arounda 10 pound speaker ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love these shelves *by P***N on August 14, 2015* Love these shelves!

With my classic leather bound books stacked neatly on top, these apparently floating books give the room a sense of charm and intrigue. I am so glad I got these shelves. They are easy to install and each can safely hold three of my large leather bound books. They do not wobble or shake. They are very stout and sturdy, and I do not have any worries with the weight they bear. I am confident they will securely hold to the wall and keep my books (and sheetrock) unharmed. The metal is durable and longlasting. So many of my friends and family have complimented these statement pieces and have gotten some of their own book collections. ## Frequently Bought Together - Umbra Conceal Floating Bookshelf, Large, Silver, Set of 3 - HAPPYBAG LED Lying Flat Duck Night Light, 3 Level Dimmable Nursery Nightlight,Cute Lamps Silicone Squishy Light Up Duck,Rechargeable Bedside Touch Lamp for Breastfeeding Toddler Baby Kids Decor --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/28049722-umbra-conceal-sturdy-metal-floating-bookshelf-for-wall-silver-large](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/28049722-umbra-conceal-sturdy-metal-floating-bookshelf-for-wall-silver-large) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
