Be advised, the light brown wood shelves are unfinished, rough wood, with no holes pre-drilled to attach the towel bar or the metal guard. The wood split on one piece of wood when I was (gently) screwing on the metal guard. Fortunately, the return process with Wayfair was a breeze and I got a new set of shelves quickly. With the new set, I sanded, stained, and finished them, and now am very happy with the look. I also bought different drywall screws, which gave me more confidence in the sturdiness of the shelves.
