I’ve had these up a couple months now and they’ve really added a nice look to the bathroom! Easy to put up, sturdy, not cheap looking.

Attractive, easy to install, not the strongest
Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown, Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown
We bought these shelves as part of a bathroom refresh. They installed easily, and were easy to align because of the included little bubble level. The shelves came with plenty of screws and mollies, especially because we only wound up installing two out of three. I like the storage basket, which holds a few rolls of toilet paper nicely. The shelves fit snuggly on the floating rods, especially after fully installed. The one downside is they feel a little cheap. The shelf does not feel super sturdy, so I wouldn't put anything really heavy on it. For bathroom decorations, it looks great, but this is not a system for storing lots of books.

Great set for the price!
Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown
Really nice shelf set for the price. The shelves look great, were easy to install, and are sturdy. I love the flexibility you have in setting the height of each shelf and the distance from one shelf to another if placing them together on a wall. You can arrange them how you'd like - straight under one another, staggered, on a diagonal. And the fact that you can place them on multiple walls is a great feature as well. Really happy with this purchase.
