Pretty and practical
Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 31.5 Inch
I love the rustic wood and iron look. It’s sturdy, spacious, and exactly what I needed in my basement apartment. I ended up buying another one to make it one long shelving unit. I highly recommend them!

Very handsome and functional shelf with a ton of space!
I was looking for a black wall shelf to go above our coffee bar that included a bar with hanging hooks for empty glasses and a bar towel. This shelf met those needs, and I'm very impressed with it overall. It's a bit pricey for how simplistic it is, but it doesn’t feel or look cheap. Assembly and installation with the provided hardware was easy with help of a drill. The shelves are deep and work well for storage baskets and larger items. It’s a sharp-looking piece that really improved the look of our expanded coffee bar.

Great shelf
Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 31.5 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 31.5 Inch
For someone who has ZERO counter space and a ton of empty wall space, this is PERFECT!
The install was easier then expected (if I installed it right because I’m just a girl) but very eye appealing, great for storage and decoration, great deal for the price!
