Use the wall space above your toilet or washing machine. This slim solid pine shelving unit stands over a toilet or a washing machine and gives you three 200mm-deep shelves above it. It's 924mm wide and 1.8m high, and the base is open: instead of a bottom shelf, four base connectors join the uprights at floor level, so the unit stands steady around the toilet or machine without blocking the cistern, pipes or drainage. It's made in South Africa from heat-treated pine, ships flat-packed, and is delivered free anywhere in the country.
Use it in a bathroom for towels, toilet rolls and toiletries, or in a laundry for washing powder, pegs and cleaning supplies.
Why customers choose it
- Made for the space over a toilet or washer: the open base stands around the toilet or machine, with nothing in the way of the plumbing.
- Slim: only 200mm deep, so it sits against the wall and doesn't crowd a small bathroom or laundry.
- Adjustable: the uprights are pre-drilled every 13cm, so you set the lowest shelf just above your cistern or machine and space the others as you like.
- Stable without a bottom shelf: four base connectors tie the uprights together at the bottom.
- Freestanding or wall-mounted: a free fastening kit comes in the box.

How to fit it
Fit the four base connectors between the uprights at the bottom, then stand the unit over your toilet or washing machine. Set the lowest shelf just above the cistern or the top of the machine, leaving room to open the lid, and fit the other two shelves above it. We recommend fixing it to the wall with the free fastening kit, especially in a bathroom where the floor can get wet.

Frequently asked questions
Will it block my plumbing?
No. There's no bottom shelf, only base connectors at floor level, so the unit stands around the toilet or machine and leaves the cistern, pipes and drainage clear.
How high is the lowest shelf?
You choose. The uprights have holes every 13cm, so you can set the lowest shelf just above your cistern or machine.
Can I paint or seal it for a bathroom?
Yes. The pine comes natural and untreated. In a bathroom we recommend sealing it with varnish or oil.
