IKEA has been my true blue through and through on this front, and despite what people may have said in the past (myself included), I have yet to be disappointed by the quality and style of their products. Not just for plates, this corner shelf unit is great for separating your pans, preventing them from getting scratched; keeping spices at hand when cooking; storing jars in the cupboard; and, well, all sorts! Sorry you had to read that terrible joke, but to make up for it, here’s a list of bamboo shelves I really liked but just didn’t quite make the cut. I really like the look of bamboo and I love the sustainability of the material, but it’s actually the strength of bamboo that makes it so great for shelving units and wall shelves! Not too tall and not too short, the Four Shelf Ecostyle Bamboo Tower from Target is perfect for towels, toilet paper, and maybe even a toothbrush holder on top.

Technically a grass, bamboo shares many of the properties of wood. Fast-growing and unfussy about where it grows, bamboo is the ultimate sustainable wood source, growing to maturity in just three to six years and providing a steady income to its growers – so it’s a great alternative to traditional, slow-growing timbers which can take decades to mature. That’s why we’re using it more in our products – and, of course, it looks lovely too. A more modern take on a classic wall shelf, the floating shelves come directly out of your wall with no visible supports or mounting hardware while still providing a sizeable surface and able to hold plenty of weight. The Gemma Ladder Shelf by Coastal Farmhouse is just beautiful, with a gorgeous natural bamboo grain and color, and with shelves that descend in size just as they descend from top to bottom.

I also really loved the solid shelves as opposed to slatted shelves because my partner has a whole collection of beauty products in teeny-tiny bottles that sometimes rolled and fell through the gaps of our previous bathroom shelf, but no more! The COSTWAY Bamboo Shelf is a classic look, simple and unobtrusive but still very charming with its asymmetrical shelves giving it a great variation in the storage space. What I definitely don’t love is getting burned for trying to be thrifty, and ending up with a bad product that I now have to replace, paying twice for essentially the same thing.I never liked the saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” but the idea that sometimes, classics are classic for a reason definitely resonates.

Slim and sleek, this shelf is great for small spaces such as the gap between a toilet and shower or maybe just an apartment living room to show off some photos and a succulent or two… dozen. This bamboo shelf would be perfect for a living room to hold plants and photos, or even the kitchen or bathroom to hold dry goods or towels! Really, this would look great anywhere and clearly can hold any items you might think of. The shelf that’s right for you is really going to depend on what situation you’re going to be using it for, so this shelf is honestly just my personal favorite.Two identical bamboo shelves would be great for a symmetrical couple’s bedroom or to create a uniform look in your entryway, especially with a low profile that doesn’t come out from the wall too far. Four individual shelves, all of which are raised off the ground, are great for keeping any number of bathroom necessities while staying out of the way of you and any puddles that might come with you out of the shower! No time to waste, cut straight to the chase! I know you are here for only the best, but really, these bamboo shelves are all special in their own way. In the last two houses I’ve lived in, I’ve needed to come up with my own storage solution, and this bamboo shelf is nearly identical to the one that has been serving me faithfully for years now.
