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 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! This shelf is a little different from the other categories as it really is a decorative shelf in the truest sense and therefore is less utility-oriented. The RÅGRUND bamboo shelf is actually a close second to my Best Overall in terms of looks, but then consider the price on top of that and it absolutely blows the competition out of the water! 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. I particularly love this design because so much counter real estate goes wasted under our cabinets, and this shelf turns that dark corner into a storage homerun.

Best Floating Bamboo Shelves

The modular nature of this bamboo shelf is awesome. I love being able to tweak a product so it suits my specific needs better, and if it isn’t a hassle to do so – even better. 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 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. 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. 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.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. In this search, I was out for something that was a little more decorative and stylish than utility-oriented, since I was on the hunt for a display shelf. But when I started looking, I was amazed at all the options out there and ended up with a shelf for my kitchen as well! Solid and compact, this bamboo shelf is designed to sit in a corner of your kitchen counter and give all those stray items lingering around the toaster and coffee pot a place to really call home! 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.

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 Floating Wooden Wall Shelves made my list because they’re nice to look at, easy to install, and can you believe it, it’s a two-for-one special! 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! This style to me is perfect for a small bedside shelf for a reading lamp and a few miscellaneous items, without taking away from whatever style the rest of your furniture might play to. About as classic as it gets, the HOMFA Bamboo 3-Tier Shelf offers great value and function with three height-adjustable shelves and the ability to be mounted on the wall, or turned into a standing shelf. 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.
