Great thick surgery protector
Size: 20 Ft, Color: White
I am so glad there was a 20ft option. Our house is 104 years old and sockets were very scarce. I guess when we updated the electric we should have added more sockets lol I have a desktop Coca-Cola fridge and I run a desktop Vornado fan year round. So this was the perfect length to plug these 2 items in. I liked that this has a large extension cord on it. Feels very furable and that it has more meat in it yo protect my items vs the thin corded ones. It also has places to charge USB or USB C. Love the design a lot. Having the prongs turned to add from side works perfect and leaves more room for additional plugs. Very portable and no noise whatsoever.

Perfect for the bathroom
Color: Dark Brown, Size: 15.7 inch, Color: Dark Brown, Size: 15.7 inch
I recently installed the these floating shelves with Wire Storage Basket, and I'm genuinely impressed with their blend of style and practicality. The shelves were easy to mount, and the included hardware felt sturdy, ensuring they're securely in place. Right off the bat, I noticed the quality of the materials; the wood has a nice finish, and the wire basket is well-constructed, promising durability. Functionality is where these shelves truly shine. The wire basket is perfect for storing smaller items, keeping them organized and within easy reach, while the shelf space is great for displaying decorative pieces. They've helped me declutter my space and add a touch of rustic charm at the same time. Aesthetically, these shelves look great in my bathroom. Overall, these floating shelves have exceeded my expectations, offering a stylish and functional storage solution that's built to last.

Looks great and holds firm.
Color: Dark Brown, Size: 15.7 inch
Looks great in my bathroom. Great functionality and good quality shelving and frame. I wouldn't stack an Encyclopedia Britanica on it, but it will solidly hold bathroom items with no problem. I added a couple of motion-activated rechargeable light on each side of this unit and it really looks great while serving a very practical purpose.
