Excellent quality. It came with good quality screws and some
plastic anchors...also had buttons to cover screws.I put this in my shower over a year ago and it's still holding strong. We acting stained it to make it match the seat I purchased and the color is still strong. I live in Florida so humidity does not bother this either.I ordered this shelf since we just had our shower redone with natural tile and suction cups no longer worked. It is very nice. I can only give it four stars for a few reasons. First, no mounting hardware. Maybe I am used to Home Depot or Lowes but a shelf like this would typically come with screws and wall inserts. This one doesnt. So I have to go shopping for screws. Next, they have pre-drilled holes to mount it onto a wall but since I want to mount it on my grout lines I will have to drill another hole next to the pre-drilled hole which will not look very good. Since this shelf will be mounted high, the extra hole will be pretty obvious. Finally, the pre-drilled holes are counter sunk so deep that there is only about 1/8 of an inch of wood left to secure the screw. Teak is a hard wood but 1/8" isnt enough to keep it secured if you hit it with your head in the shower or put heavy shampoo on it. Typically pre-drilled and countersunk holes will leave most of the wood for strength and the countersink will be shallow. I will probably have to redrill two holes since I am worried about the 1/8" not being strong enough. So all in all a great shelf that I highly recommend. The dark teak wood really accents the new tile in our shower. But it is the little things that count when you order a custom product like this and in this case, the lack of stainless steel screws and the deep drilled holes drop this from a solid 5 to a 4 star.The shelf is very, very small. It likely won't even hold a towel. I returned it because I just couldn't see folding towels small enough to make them fit.
