We did a facelift on a small bathroom and I wanted something decorative on the wall, but nothing that would make the room feel cramped. These shelves are perfect since they are only 5" deep and there are multiple lengths to choose from. I selected the 16" ones. They arrived in fine condition and it took me longer to figure out where I wanted to hang them than it did to install them. I've got a few heavy items on one of the shelves and it seems quite sturdy. In the photos, I also purchased the picture on the top shelf and the wall clock from Wayfair.
