This brick shelf has two repaired cracks that are along the keyholes on the back of the shelf. They both extend over the top edge and there is a faint hairline crack on the top of the shelf. These cracks have been patched with bisque fix and there is minimal risk of further cracking. Buyer’s risk: this shelf is a second and should be tested without breakables atop upon initial hanging. Alternatively, this shelf could be displayed as tray or pedestal in your home instead of hung on a wall.
