These shelves have worked perfectly in my laundry room.  I hang socks on the hooks when they come out of the dryer and have lost their mate, and I have used the rod on the other shelf for paper towels that I am always searching for in the laundry room.  I put one near the washing machine and store detergent, softener, and oxy clean on the top.  The other shelf is by my dryer with dryer sheets, Lysol spray, and dryer balls.  The perfect touch to getting my laundry room organized.
