First off, let’s talk about the gorgeous teak wood. Unboxing this shelf felt like unwrapping a high-end furniture piece—the grain is natural, the finish is silk-smooth, and the rounded edges give it a polished look. It’s heavy (in a good way), so you know it’s solid and won’t wobble when loaded up with bathroom essentials or kitchen spices.

The 3-tier design is genius for tight corners. I shoved mine into my cramped shower, and suddenly, all my shampoos and loofahs had a home without eating up floor space. It also works surprisingly well outdoors—I tested it on my patio for potted herbs, and the teak didn’t even flinch in the humidity.

Assembly was a 10-minute job, but pro tip: open the box over a tray! The hardware rattled loose during shipping (zero padding), and I nearly lost a screw under the fridge. Once built, though? Zero complaints. The included tool got the job done, and the shelves haven’t sagged an inch under weight.

Worth noting: this isn’t bargain-bin particle board. The price reflects real teak durability, so if you want something that’ll outlast your next apartment (or survive outdoor use), it’s a justified splurge. Just pray Amazon packs your box better than mine!
