We love decor that fits into different styles and spaces. The clean simple design makes the Buhbo floating shelf versatile for any space. The durable high quality steel makes the shelf utilitarian while the professional finish makes the shelf eye catching. Use it for books, plants, figurines, picture frames, spice rack, and much more. There is no top or bottom to this shelf. Install it with the flange or top or bottom. For an ultra clean look, the flange can be hidden with wall paneling with some planning. * EASY TO CLEAN: Like most stainless steel, finger prints and water spots may show. Simply use a damp towel, or a little window cleaner will take care of it.
