The towel valet had no assembly required, which was nice surprise. The photos of the towel valet on the website showed bottles on the top shelf so I thought it would hold our frequently used spa chemicals perfectly, but the wicker shelf is flimsy and the bottles fall over if they are not on the very edge of the shelf. I’ll have to find a tray to put everything on. It is perfect for the towels though and I love the bottom drawer for small items.  I would recommend this product if you are only storing towels.
