Love it, but rustic shouldn’t equal scrap wood
We love this a lot. It’s a great place to put our keys and our mail. I installed a USB charging outlet in the wall just above ours which makes the shelf a great place to “hang up” our cell phones  and tablets so we don’t always have them in front of our faces. We find it helps us focus on our kids more.<br /><br />Overall, it is fairly sturdy and looks nice on our wall. We took off the hanging hooks and used eight large 3M plastic Velcro command strips instead. That way is doesn’t move when grabbing stuff off of it.<br /><br />I took a star off for two reasons, and the second doesn’t really count.<br />1) I know the title says “rustic” but there are a few places on the wood that I wouldn’t call “rustic”, more like scrap wood. And one of the three main boards on the back is warped just slightly.<br />2) I wish it was more conducive to “hanging up” our phones and tablets. It works ok but it just turns into a pile of devices if we have more than two on there. Like I said, not the seller’s fault, so this doesn’t count.
