Industrial Pipe Shelves - Rustic Wood Ladder Bookshelf Wall Mounted Shelf for Living Room Decor & Storage (32in, 6 Layers) - Perfect for Home Office, Bedroom, and Kitchen Organization

I absolutely LOVE this shelving unit! It is sturdy and very aesthetically pleasing. I have a very small laundry room - space for only a washer and dryer. This unit is perfect for my laundry supplies and leaves just enough room for me to stand in front and load my washer. The depth of the unit is 10 inches - the planks are pretty much flush with the wall. In all honesty, I was reluctant to purchase this based upon reviews of assembly. Assembly instructions were included in my order, though the most important part is the picture of assembly. Pay close attention to how the fittings (connector joints) sandwich each wood plank. I followed another reviewer’s suggestion and laid each pipe side by side to match up the lengths. There were slight variations from pipe to pipe, but I was able to match each one to another of the same size. There are 10 pipe pieces, so you will have 5 sets. It’s important to match them up, if you want the shelves as level as possible. Each of the 10 longer pipes come with a fitting, or connector joint, already attached. The instructions do not state this, BUT you need to unscrew the connector joint and screw it onto the other end of the pipe it is already attached to. Tighten all pieces, by hand, before matching the lengths. After this, assembly is easy peasy short and breezy! The only mistake I made (totally my fault) was mixing up the placement of the pipe pieces at the top where it angles to anchor to the wall. There are two short and two slightly longer pieces. The shorter ones connect to the connector on top of the top shelf. The longer ones go from the corner joint to the wall anchor piece. I accidentally reversed them and quickly discovered there was about an inch gap when placing the unit up against the wall to anchor it. I switched the pieces and all was right with the world. After placing the unit EXACTLY where I wanted it, I used a pencil to mark the holes, moved the unit aside, and drilled. This was seriously one of the easiest things I have ever assembled! Like others have said, there is no need to anchor this unit to the floor, though there are holes and screws to do so. I have already recommended this product to a good friend who is looking for shelving for a small space. If I can find a place to put another one somewhere in my house, I will totally buy another without reservation!
