suptek Glass Floating Shelves, TV Wall Mount with Shelf for DVD Player / PS4 / Cable Boxes/Game Consoles/Sky Box/TV Accessories, Flat Black 2-Tier Wall Mount Bracket

First impressions

AV shelves are often an afterthought—a quick fix under a wall-mounted TV. The Suptek shelf made a better first impression. It looks understated and purposeful: two panes of dark tempered glass riding on a powder‑coated aluminum spine, with a slim wall plate cover that hides the mounting hardware. In a small living room, that matters. It reads as a clean, floating platform rather than an industrial bracket, and it avoids the wobbly, bargain-store vibe some AV racks give off.

Build and design

The design is simple but well judged. Each shelf is tempered glass with polished edges and a reassuring heft. The main vertical bracket (the spine) is rigid, and the aluminum components are finished cleanly. The shelves clamp onto the spine with metal brackets and a hex fastener, so there’s no plastic-on-glass compromises where it counts.

A few thoughtful touches stand out:
- A removable wall plate cover keeps the install tidy.
- Openings on the ends and sides of the spine allow cable entry and exit where you need it.
- Shelves can be repositioned post-install, so you’re not locked into the first height you pick.

Each shelf is rated to 8 kg (17.6 lb). In practical terms, that’s plenty for a game console, disc player, router, or set-top box. It’s not meant to hold a full-size AV receiver or a heavy turntable, and treating it like a component rack will disappoint. Used as intended, though, it feels solid.

Installation experience

I installed the Suptek shelf beneath a 55-inch TV and aimed to keep one game console and a Blu‑ray player close at hand while hiding cables. The job took about 40 minutes with a stud finder, level, drill, and the included hardware. The kit provides everything you need, including a hex wrench for the clamps.

A few installation notes from hands-on experience:
- Stud mounting is best. The glass is weighty and, once you add gear, the leverage against the wall increases. If you must mount on drywall, use robust anchors (toggle bolts or high-quality metal anchors), not the lightweight plugs that often ship in universal kits.
- Take your time with leveling. The visual “floating” effect works only if the spine is plumb and shelves are parallel with the TV. Small errors are noticeable with glass.
- Tighten, then re‑check. After loading the shelves, snug down the shelf clamps again. Revisit the mounting screws after a week of use; a quick re‑torque keeps everything square.

The wall plate cover snaps on at the end and does a good job elevating the look. It’s a small piece that makes a big difference once you step back.

Adjustability and cable management

Height adjustment is genuinely useful here. Each shelf can slide up and down the track after installation, then lock with the provided wrench. That saved me when I swapped a thick Blu‑ray player for a slimmer streamer and wanted to tighten the vertical spacing.

Cable management is good, not perfect. The spine acts as a channel with cutouts at the ends and along the sides. For a typical setup—one HDMI, one power cable per device—it neatly routes everything down toward the outlet or up toward the TV. If you’re running a thick bundle (for example, multiple camera feeds into a video recorder), the channel becomes tight and the end caps are a bit fiddly to pop off and on while keeping cables aligned. It’s workable, but it rewards a deliberate approach and some cable ties or a sleeve. Once dressed, though, the result looks clean from normal viewing distances.

Everyday use and capacity

In daily use, the Suptek shelf does what you want and stays out of the way. The glass surface is flat and stable; I didn’t notice flex with a PS4 or an Xbox Series S. Rubber feet on devices grip the glass well enough, but adding small silicone bumpers under lighter streamers kept them from skittering when I swapped HDMI cables.

A few practical points:
- The shelf depth is suitable for most game consoles, small set-top boxes, and slim players. If you have an oversized or deep component, measure first.
- Leave breathing room. Glass doesn’t absorb heat, so devices venting from the top or sides need clearance. The adjustable heights make this easy to accommodate.
- The glass is a dust and fingerprint magnet. A microfiber cloth and a spritz of glass cleaner once a week keeps it looking sharp.

With weight centered and clamps tight, I didn’t experience tilt or drift. The only time I saw a shelf settle slightly was after initially loading it unevenly during setup; retightening fixed it. Again, that post-install recheck matters.

Expandability

One smart feature is the ability to interlock multiple units vertically. If your setup grows—say you add a VR base station or a network switch—you can tie an additional shelf unit into the first and maintain a single, continuous spine. It aligns neatly and looks intentional rather than improvised. Do note that expansion means additional holes, so plan your vertical spacing from the start if you think you’ll grow into a third shelf.

Durability and maintenance

Between the toughened glass and the rigid spine, the shelf feels built to last under normal AV use. The powder-coated finish resists scuffs, and the bracket hardware hasn’t shown any tendency to creep when tightened firmly. The one ongoing maintenance task is basic: keep the mounting screws snug and the glass clean. If you bump into the shelf hard or load it off-center, give it a quick check.

Safety-wise, the tempered glass is the right choice. Edges are smooth, and the glass itself has the expected weight and rigidity. I wouldn’t mount it within a toddler’s reach or in a narrow hallway where it may be hip-checked, but under a TV in a living room or office, it’s appropriate.

What I’d change

• More generous cable channel: A slightly deeper or wider spine would make it easier to route thicker bundles without removing the end caps repeatedly.
• Upgraded drywall hardware: Including robust toggle anchors would give more confidence to those without stud access. As is, I strongly prefer a stud or masonry mount.
• A finer front-to-back leveling adjustment: The current clamp design works, but a micro-adjustment screw to dial in shelf tilt would be a nice-to-have for perfectionists.

None of these are deal-breakers, and all are easy to work around with a bit of planning.

Who it’s for

• Great fit: Small to medium rooms, renters or homeowners who want a tidy, space-saving landing spot for consoles, streamers, and set-top boxes under a wall-mounted TV.
• Not ideal: Heavy hi-fi separates or deep AV receivers, or situations where you can’t secure at least one mounting point into solid structure.

Recommendation

I recommend the Suptek shelf for anyone wanting a clean, compact way to house a couple of AV components under a wall-mounted TV. It balances looks, stability, and adjustability well, the tempered-glass-and-aluminum build feels a step above the usual budget fare, and the post-install height adjustment and interlocking expansion make it adaptable as your setup evolves. Mount it to a stud (or use serious drywall anchors), center your loads, give the hardware a re‑torque after the first week, and you’ll have an elegant, unobtrusive platform that keeps gear accessible and cables contained. For consoles, streamers, and everyday home theater accessories, it’s an easy yes.
