I needed an over the toilet shelf that had solid shelves, and this item fulfills that need for the lowest price I could find on Wayfair. That said, it is very overpriced for what you get, which is why I'm only giving it 4 stars. I really wouldn't mind the plastic tubes holding everything together at all if this were $20 cheaper. Also, all the corners of the wood pieces came with the laminate slightly worn already, and one of the shelves had a small chip on the top. I put that one on top so I don't have to look at it.
