Household Essentials 3-Tier Over the Toilet Storage Shelf, Espresso Brown

Fit the space perfectly.

Extra shelving in my bathroom.

So, I purchased these shelves because I moved into a house with a small bathroom vanity. I needed a place to store towels, colognes, etc. First, I should say I purchased this "used" and opted for the three-tier. Despite some negative reviews I read on here, I found the shelves very simple to assemble. No tools are required as the screws require a specific allen wrench which is provided. The whole process took me about 30 min. I've also read some reviewers stating the shelves were not level, fortunately I did not have this issue either. But here are a few things you SHOULD know before buying these shelves that I wish I was aware of:1) As I said before, the shelves were level in my case, but the mesh surfaces are not entirely flat. There are indentations on the surface that are obviously deliberate. So if you want to place small items such as colognes or cups on them by themselves, they will not be steady sitting on the shelves. I'm not sure why these indentations exist, but I found purchasing the recommended Whitmor storage baskets solved this problem - which I would have purchased anyhow as they look terrific and I highly recommend.2) My bathroom - as do most bathrooms - has a floor moulding on every wall. Because this shelf does not account for this, they will not press flush against the back wall. As a result, we get two small issues: the shelf sits a bit forward than it should which means you are more likely to bump up against it when you sit on the toilet. And as I said before, the shelf indentations make small items placed on them unsteady and will typically knock over as was my experience. And two, since the shelf isn’t flush with the wall, the shelves themselves are unsteady. And as I said previously, this increases the stability of any items you place on the shelves.However…there are two special screws and corresponding holes on the shelves that allow for you to screw the shelves directly to the back wall. This fixes the stability issue, but since the floor moulding in most bathrooms will prevent this firm contact down to the base of the floor, the shelves will not be perfectly leveled. A couple of workarounds are to either cut through the moulding in your bathroom to allow flush contact of the shelf legs (which I doubt anyone wants to do) OR cut the legs of the shelf itself so they sit firmly on top of the moulding, and not in front. As for me, I left the shelves as they are and simply drilled the top portion to the wall. Adding the baskets takes care of the stability issue so I didn’t feel the need to do any cutting. Down the line, I may cut the legs to get better support but for the time being this setup is working just fine for me.I'll also quickly note I had previously bought the InterDesign magazine holder which hooks on the toilet tank itself. However, since these shelves enclose the toilet, I could no longer fit this holder on the tank. Fortunately, since the shelves have bars I was able to simply hook the holder to one of the side bars. They sit low where I need them to be and they match the color of the shelves exactly! So I highly recommend getting this yourself. I will try and get some pics uploaded so you can see what they look like with the baskets and holder together.Aside from these minor issues, the shelves look fantastic and provide the extra space I need.I would have given the shelves 5 stars had it not been for these minor issues, but overall I am very pleased with their look and function and would recommend buying them having been made aware of the above :-)

Nice shelf, except!!!! The shelf is too wide near the top of the toilet. Notice that I had to put soap bars under the legs so that I could raise the shelf in order to be able to put the toilet seat back! 🤔 So now, the bottom shelf is sticking out over the toilet seat lid, which then pushes on your back when your sitting on the seat.🙄 if the shelf was taller (longer sides/legs) it would be perfect, but its not perfect, so for the quick fix I put soap bars under all 4 legs, so I could put the lid up! I am going to have to hit home depot, and buy some blocks of sort to raise the shelf higher so that the bottom shelf won't dig in your back when you sit down. Or, take the bottom shelf off completely, and I need the shelf, so if they would've just made the sides taller/longer it would be perfect. Ugh! The shelf is not worth the headache! They just got skimpy with the height of it! Price is too much for the headache it has gave me!

Easier to construct with someone

Just got this today and have already put it up...I have a space on the wall of my kitchen that needed a shelf that was more square like this is for there isn't enough width there to put in anything long..I have one of those kitchens that no space can go to waste, and this fit the bill as best I could find...I was actually looking for something like this that was bigger, maybe this width but 30" long or so with more shelves but I couldn't find anything like that on Amazon that didn't turn into a floor unit at that length or greater..(Amazes me the things you just can't get at times). Anyway, as far as this shelf is concerned it is well solid enough...It won't bend or break unless you seriously overload it...And even then it will probably hold it if you secure it to the wall well enough. It was easy to put together and came with instructions, but even without them you can pretty easily just stick it together...It came with all the screws and hardware you need, (hex head screws, and a hex wrench is included). Butterfly hangers come with it for seriously hollow walls, and wall anchors for good but less holding power which is what I used...The only used them on the top two holes and bare screws at the bottom which well held it to the wall for what I have in mind for it...The only defect in this I found was one of the drilled holes in the unit wouldn't accept a screw no matter how hard I tried...Fortunately it was where the crown on top holds the to side units so I got by on just one there. But be aware that there can be some problems with quality control...A couple of other observations...Although its hard to see, the small wall shelf unit that I have has screen style shelves on them, they are not solid. Not a problem with me for I like them but they don't show well in the picture...Also, when putting this together make sure you leave everything loose a little. If you really tighten the two side units the shelves squeeze in very tightly and you will just have to loosen them again anyway. Once I loosened it all the shelves slipped in and it as a complete deal..All in all I really like this shelf...I could have used it a little bigger than this as stated before, but it will do...Its solid, attractive, and comes at a very fair price...Recommended..

I'll get the one con out of the way - my bathroom is very small and there is no linen storage in this rental. I looked for a deep one of these, for storing towels and other things. It does that beautifully. However, over the toilet, it comes out far enough in front of the lid/seat that we couldn't sit back all the way on the seat. We are both in the 190-250# range. So, there's that. I moved it to the one spot of wall that was open, put our hamper under it, and it works great. We did put some little straps through the back and attached it to the ugly towel bar it's now hiding. My husband promptly fell against it a few days later (he has balance issues) and it held up perfectly. I don't think anything even fell over/off it. Would definitely buy again.

Excelente para ahorrar espacio, combina con mi baño, no fue dificil instalar, solo que para unir las barras verticales si use unas pinzas, solo para que embonara bien, algo estetico que no se nota dentro de las uniones, pero de ahi en mas estuvo bien, No llego con rayones como he visto en otros comentarios. Conmigo estuvo al 100% bien

Llego torcido el nivel superior, y costo trabajo , tiene incluida una llave para armado, incomoda, use mis herramientas. Me sorprendió que tiene incluida su plantilla para la fijación, aunque me ayuda muy poco, termine usando el entrepaño para marcar y fijarlo.

This was the first time I have ordered from Amazon. The package came in damaged but the post office makes you go and call Amazon. They were fantastic with the return process if you have access to a printer ( if not could be a pain for most) as you have to print the return label and go back to the post office to return. The product was not packaged well and all inside contents were damaged. However it showed me the quality of the product and if durability is what you are wanting you will not get that. Very flexible and the shelfs have predetermined slot grooves so to place things nicely on it would also be difficult. ( picture didn't show the indents on the mesh shelves.).

I really liked the look and colour. Great for value, easy to assemble. But some holes in wrong place.Easy to fix. I ordered for other bathroom.

The unit looks nice. I like the shelves that are a netting look, making things sit easily. However, I find that it seems a bit flimsy and wobbles quite a bit for the price. We put rubber feet on it to prevent them from rusting.
