I am in love with this shelf. I searched online for about a week for a rustic looking shelf for our full bath. I finally decided on this 3 level shelf. It looks amazing on the wall. It had basically no instructions besides 1 sheet with a couple of graphics. The most complicated part was figuring out what size drill bit to utilize for the anchors. This feels really sturdy and I would feel comfortable putting quite a few things on it. I built it by myself in about 20 minutes at 11pm (woman, husband isnt handy). The hardest part was making sure the base shelf was level and it just fell together from there. You do have the option of the more distressed side of wood or the more solid side. Both look great. Will update as it holds up over time but right now, I'm obsessed!Update march 2020: still holding up great and I even ordered a 2nd smaller one to put in our newly renovated 2nd full bath. Even our contractors loved the way it looked. Once again, easy to build. I did have my husband assist this time. It was difficult to reach the screws as I dangled perched above the toilet. 10/10 will continue to recommend this product. I would advise if you are doing over toilet to test-sit your position. I had my husband sit so I made sure his head cleared the shelving while holding over his head before I started drilling.For reference: the blue bathroom is our bigger one and I did 3 shelves. the grey is smaller and has 2 shelves.
