Floating shelves look so cool and interesting in a room and add such dimension. If you're looking for floating shelves, then The Container Store is worth a visit, since they carry a couple of really stylish looking shelves in various designs. These floating shelves would certainly add a modern touch to a room. The one problem that floating shelves pose is the fact that they can't handle a lot of weight. If you simply want to place decorative objects or light pieces, then there shouldn't be a problem. However you might want to stay away from placing several heavy books on these shelves, just in case they couldn't hold the weight. Are you looking for floating shelves in chestnut, espresso, black or white? Or perhaps you would appreciate the floating book shelf that lets your books float on the wall. No matter what, you can find some inspiration at The Container Store.  Wall-Mounted Shelving - Chestnut Profile Shelves
