Let me start by saying this shelf is a SPACE-SAVING HERO in my tiny bathroom. The 3-tier design holds towels, plants, and even my chaotic collection of skincare products without breaking a sweat. Assembly took me exactly 9 minutes (yes, I timed it) - though the instructions might as well have been hieroglyphics.
The powder-coated black finish looks sleek... when it stays on. After two months, I noticed slight paint chipping where the rods connect. Not a dealbreaker, but annoying for something marketed as 'rust-proof'. The included ABS hooks? GENIUS. They hold my wet shower caddy without bending - something my previous metal hooks failed at miserably.
Sturdiness gets an A-. It comfortably supports 20lbs of laundry supplies on the bottom shelf (I tested), though heavier items make it wobble slightly. Pro tip: Don't overtighten screws during assembly like I did - it slightly warped my frame. The shelves are wire mesh (not solid), so small items like bobby pins fall through - consider adding liner mats.
Final verdict? For $30, it's a decent organizer that maximizes vertical space beautifully. Just manage expectations about long-term durability and prepare for possible paint issues. Would I buy again? Yes... but maybe in white to hide future rust spots.
