The double-headed axe, known as the Labrys, is one of the oldest axe designs in human history. It dates back to the Minoan civilization of Crete around 3000 BCE. Viking craftsmen later adopted this powerful dual-edge design for woodworking, shipbuilding, and outdoor tasks across the Norse world.

The word "labyrinth" itself is believed to derive from labrys, reflecting the extraordinary cultural significance of this iconic design. Twisted Damascus steel elevated the Viking double-headed axe to a new standard of artisan beauty and performance.

Mounting system doesn’t align on one of three shelves.
Color: Walnut, Size: 3 Pack
Nice shelves. Install was super easy except on one of the three shelves. The main mounting shelf holes were off so the shelf will not slip onto horizontal mounting poles unless I modify the shelf. So a 20 minute job becomes a two hour job. The mounting system does appear very sturdy just not aligned.

Worth it, just pay attention better to instructions where holes for glass parts go!
This was pretty awesome, was VERY EASY to put together, idk how anybody else could have gotten it wrong I always pay attention to the holes n what direction they gotta face, so everything fit where it needed to at the end of making it…literally only have one complaint that the anchors that this came with were really crappy for dry wall only anyways, had to buy extra sturdy ones that would catch the wall, but other then that this was very nice…it pry be better also if it was in a stud as this is a lil heavy duty plus everything that gets added onto it for decor or whatever, the spot I needed it wasn’t a stud evenly where I wanted it so need to update the anchors for better ones..
