Would definitely buy this again! We have a somewhat small 3/4 bath (toilet, sink and stall shower). We replaced the vanity sink with just a pedestal sink and lost counter space on which to put things. Well, about 20 years later, and were getting around to fixing that (our previous workaround was to put an unsightly, foldable TV tray in the bathroom!).
We needed something no more than 13 inches wide to fit between the toilet and the shower stall. It couldnt stick out more than about 1 foot, otherwise it wouuld start to block the entry to the shower and just be in the way. It also needed to be functional. I wasnt sure if something really existed for this.but it does! This item has been perfect for our space, and it provides more storage than we really need, which is great. We also put one of those removeable 3M hooks on the side to hold shower towels.
Because its so slender and tall, it isnt super steady/stable. However, it comes with a bracket to anchor it to the wall. The bracket is adjustable, so it worked great because our baseboard forces this unit to stick out from the wall roughly 1 inch, but the bracket still holds it securely to the wall. Using this bracket, the unit is nice and stable. Its also an attractive style (depending on your decor taste).
Assembly was pretty easy, but it took a long time. My dad and I assembled it and I think it took about an hour. The instructions are mostly clear, but are all pictorial, and sometimes I wasnt sure exactly what the image was depicting. However, it was clear enough, that using the manual images and common sense, you can probably figure it out. The only negative thing is that some of the pre-drilled holes on the backerboard were off the edge of the board (i.e. there wasnt a full hole on the bacerkboard to put the screw). However, it only occurred along the top edge of the board, there was enough of a hole to put a screw and just screw it in tight enough to hold (pinch) the board, and the rest of the screw holes were just fine, so it didnt affect the unit at all.
