Let me start by saying I’ve had a love-hate relationship with bathroom organization until this shelf set arrived. The moment I unboxed it, I appreciated how the black finish gave my basic bathroom an instant 'adulting upgrade.' The farmhouse vibe isn’t just for show—it actually holds my mismatched towels and TP rolls without judging me.

The assembly was shockingly painless (and I’m someone who once assembled a bookshelf upside down). The instructions included hieroglyphic-level diagrams, but the hardware worked as promised. Pro tip: Keep a toothpick handy to tighten any wobbly screw holes—mine needed that quick fix for the cube shelf.

Real-world test? The towel rack survived my partner’s 'I only use bath sheets' phase (though 3 is optimistic—2 max unless you like them squeezed). The toilet paper basket became my hero during pandemic hoarding flashbacks, holding 3 rolls without sagging. But fair warning: The wooden shelves collect water rings like trophies—I ended up using cute mini trays to protect them.

What surprised me most was how it transformed dead wall space into functional storage. My shampoo collection now lives on the top shelf instead of cluttering the sink, and that little paper holder? Genius for midnight TP emergencies. Just don’t expect museum-quality welds—this is practical decor, not a luxury piece.
