First impression? This black metal rack looked sleek and modern against my white bathroom tiles. The powder-coated finish gave it a subtle matte look that somehow made my mismatched shampoo bottles appear more organized.

Assembly was surprisingly straightforward – I had it up in 20 minutes while binge-watching a show. The included wall anchors were a nice touch, though I skipped them since my toilet area is narrow. Big mistake. When I loaded the shelves with towels and toiletries, the whole unit developed a nervous tremor like it had too much coffee.

Where this rack shines: those four bottom hooks are gold. Perfect for hanging my robe and wet towels without cluttering the door. The middle shelf became my designated 'pretty basket' zone for fancy soaps nobody uses, while the top shelf handles bulk toilet paper storage like a champ.

The wobbliness does make me nervous when reaching for items. I've started doing this slow-motion grab maneuver like I'm defusing a bomb. For $40 though, it's holding up better than some relationships I've had.

Final verdict? It's the bathroom equivalent of that one slightly unstable but endearing friend – not perfect, but makes life more functional. Just don't let toddlers use it as a climbing frame.
