Teak Shelf Width: 18"

Teak Shelf Width: 18'This teak shelf is of very high quality. The wood is very smooth and flawless. The construction is top-notch. The mounting hardware is also very high quality. Plus they include teak wood plugs to cover the mounting screw holes, for a great professional look. The best part of all is, the shelf is Made in Minnesota, U.S.A.!

Yes, this shelf is narrow, but i needed it for a narrow space.

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.
