Description:
The Republic by Plato, translated by Benjamin Jowett, is one of the most influential works of philosophy and political theory in Western thought. Written around 380 BCE, this timeless masterpiece explores profound questions about justice, morality, and the ideal structure of society. Through a series of dialogues, primarily between Socrates and his contemporaries, Plato examines the nature of justice and the principles needed to build a just and harmonious state.
The book is structured into ten books (chapters), each delving into interconnected themes of ethics, governance, education, and human behavior. Central to the work is the allegory of the cave, one of philosophy’s most enduring metaphors, which illustrates the journey from ignorance to enlightenment and underscores Plato’s theory of knowledge and perception. Plato also introduces his concept of the philosopher-king, arguing that only those who possess wisdom and moral virtue are fit to govern.
The Republic further elaborates on Plato’s tripartite theory of the soul, aligning the individual psyche with the structure of an ideal state. It envisions a society divided into three classes—rulers, auxiliaries, and producers—each corresponding to reason, spirit, and appetite in the soul. Plato’s ideas on education, equality, and the role of women in society, though controversial, were groundbreaking for their time and continue to inspire modern discourse.
Benjamin Jowett’s translation preserves the depth and complexity of Plato’s arguments while making them accessible to contemporary readers. His clear and eloquent prose captures the essence of Plato’s philosophical inquiries, making this translation a standard for students and scholars alike.
The Republic is not merely a philosophical treatise but also a work of profound literary artistry. The dialogues are rich with metaphor, allegory, and rhetorical brilliance, reflecting Plato’s genius as a writer. Its exploration of universal themes like justice, power, and the pursuit of truth has made it a cornerstone of Western intellectual tradition.

Works great but the angle for the bracket screws seems hard for me
The AMADA HOMEFURNISHING Floating Shelves are a great addition to any home decor. They are easy to install and come with all necessary hardware included. The shelves are made of solid Paulownia wood and have industrial triangle metal brackets that give them a rustic and contemporary style, which is perfect for any design style.
One of the best features of these shelves is their size. With a width of 16.4 inches, they are wider and longer than regular shelves, providing more room for storage. The set includes three shelves of different sizes: large (16.4 × 5.9 × 0.7 inches), medium (14 × 5.9 × 0.7 inches), and small (11.4 × 5.9 × 0.7 inches).
The shelves are sturdy enough to hold up to 40lbs, making them perfect for organizing books, collectibles, plants, and trophies on the wall without occupying floor space. The shelves are available in six different colors, including Grey, Rustic Brown, Black, Brown, White, and Wood, so you can choose the one that best fits your decor.
Overall, these floating shelves are a great value for the price. They are easy to install, sturdy, and add a stylish touch to any room. If you're looking for a way to organize and decorate your home, the AMADA HOMEFURNISHING Floating Shelves are a great choice.

Good shelves!
Easy enough to assemble and as shown in the pictures you can shape the shelves how you want them. There is one screw hole in the mounting bracket right in the narrow part which makes it difficult to get a screw into. To get around this I just put a screw in at an angle. The quality is decent and I would not overload these by any means. However, if you are looking for cheaper shelves that look decent for light items these will work great.

Great shelves for the price (~$15), but could be better.
Unlike many others here reviewing the item, I took note of the dimensions & the rough surface of the wood *before* purchasing it & read the instructions that tells you how NOT to assemble it. So my review won't be mentioning how it was smaller than I expected, how unexpectedly rough the wood was, or the fact that it fell off my wall because I didn't read the instructions.
About how NOT to install it- never screw into the board such that the weight is relying on the *screws* to keep it up. Whichever way you place the brackets in relation to the wood, above or below, make sure the weight is ON THE BRACKETS. In other words, *never* screw in from THE TOP OF the shelf.
The instructions specifically point this out, so if you see any reviews about the screws stripping out of the wood and the thing crashing to the floor-- they didn't read the instructions and they assembled it incorrectly.
And no, unlike what some reviews here are telling you, it is not painted plastic. It is wood.
I sanded it, it's wood. They tell you that in the description of the item, too.
Paulownia, but yes, the weight of it reminds you of styrofoam, which isn't a bad thing. Ive read its a sturdy wood, relative to how much it weighs.
I was already expecting rough boards when I bought it, but on top of that fact the surface had the grossest hand-feel I've ever felt (probably from the surface + the paint they used) that I ended up lightly sanding it with 120 grit (which helped a ton with the feel while also doing very little to the painted surface) and painted it with some white paint that we had on hand (it was originally grey). Much better.
The brackets getting in the way of screwing is awful because I don't have a 90° angle screwdriver, but it worked out alright enough. The resulting angle wasn't severe by any means, but still I recommend making sure you have a 90° angle screwdriver before purchasing because I'd much rather it be nice, clean, flush screws.
One point of serious suggestion for the seller would be that the brackets need more than a quick dot of welding. Even though my brackets came relatively even and all with unbroken welding, judging from other reviews and looking at mine, this is an area that could definitely do with some improvement.
Another suggestion for the seller would be to include a few extra drywall anchors. I ended up breaking three of them trying to get them in my drywall and now I have to go find some replacements.
I think our drywall is about as petrified as our studs because in looking up external sources for the best method of installing these types of anchors (to make sure I wouldn't break any. smh) they recommend to NOT predrill, as these are made with no predrilling in mind.
However, when trying to initially gently hammer them in with my rubber mallet as the instructions stated, they just weren't penetrating the drywall very far and I even made sure to pierce the paint layer (which is recommended if your walls have a thick layer of paint from over the years). I actually ended up quite extensively drilling in order to get the first portion of the anchors (before the threads) into the wall without doing too much damage to the anchors.
Ive gotten two of the three shelves up but can't get the last one up until I get more drywall anchors. So far so good. Lightly hand sanded and a couple coats of paint slapped on them and I quite like them.
Definitely takes a lot of time installing them though, so expect that before going into it.
Rated 3 stars for the gross hand-feel, the brackets needing more welding, the brackets that could've been more even with each other, the lack of warning that you'd need a 90° angle screwdriver, and the lack of backup drywall anchors.
