These hex shelves are well constructed and sit flush with the wall. They are exactly what we wanted in terms of shelving for above the toilet, but mounting them was a pain. We assumed the brackets would run parallel with base of the shelf in order to have the items sit level as the picture shows, but our brackets were at 2pm and 7pm resulting in a diagonal mounting set up. While we were able to get it worked out, it took way longer than expected.
