Damon says they met a man they started to call "the bamboo professor". "He literally knew everything about bamboo, and he could make mathematical equations on how to utilize the material, as well as maximize use and minimize waste from the top of his head." "It was really incredible," he adds. "It gave us so many ideas on how to best use the material and insights into what was possible and what wasn’t.”

sturdy and heavier than it looksJoycethis shelf fits perfectly into a space in my home between a wall and table
not that easy to put together, slightly wobbles when attaching one side and has to be careful to attach on straight the other side (or the holes don’t fit). Once all assembled the shelf is sturdy
the tool provided is very flimy and hard to use
some edges of boards have cracks, has to be careful to screw on so it doesn't crack further
Nice looking standSastinI have tbis at living room and it is great. Especially the color is great on white wall. The price looks little too much. But worth the price. The assembling comes with a small allen key, it hurts while putting all those 32 bolts i guess. Anyway, its a good product
Perfect for a dorm room's lofted bed!AndreaWith a lofted bed in a dorm, finding a bedside table tall enough to be functional and stylish was tough! Easy to assemble, it is the perfect height, and the open shelves allow for decor, storage, and space to add your phone to charge.

Storage ShelfAnonymous reviewerI used this shelf in my bathroom for makeup, hand creams, etc and now have everything at my fingertips. Sturdy, solid and easy to assemble. I love it!
Perfect fit for my lower level ensuite’sDebAfter adding an ensuite to our lower level my challenge was to find attractive and affordable smaller scale storage pieces. This piece a great choice. Easy to style and provides extra storage
Really nice!AnnaI love the light look of this wood - helps keep my place looking fresh and bright.
I've actually been using this unit as two separate shelves simply by not connecting the lower and upper pieces in the final step of assembly. I use the top half as a counter-top shelf for tea in my kitchen and the lower half for linens in the hall.
Nice and easy to assemble.GaniruNice and easy to assemble. Good quality
ShelfMadhurangaGreat As expected
Perfect!SueI managed to put it together myself which is great! I'm using it as a display for my action figures and framed photos beside my TV (so not in the bathroom as it seems is intended) and it looks great!

I Love ThisValFits perfectly in my bathroom space!
It was easy to assemble,WalaaIt was easy to assemble, small space taken on the floor but lots of storage space.
Good for those weird cornersLaurenWe got it because we needed a shelf but also had a small door in the space we needed the shelfs. It gave us the shelf space but also did not impede the door.
Wife liked the natural materials and was surprised at how solid it was for the price.

Story
Lessons in bamboo with the professor
You know the feeling when you learn something new. The excitement, and the instant eagerness to learn even more. That’s how we felt when we were fortunate enough to cross paths with the “bamboo professor”. We didn’t even plan to use bamboo for RÅGRUND bathroom furniture, our original idea was a bed. But things changed. And now we know a lot more than we did before.
After some thinking and testing, we realized bamboo is more suitable for a bathroom than a bedroom. Why? It’s a grass that mostly grows in the tropics—a climate similar to a steamy, hot bathroom. To carry out their new plan, product developer Damon Hird and his team left the forests of Sweden and headed to a factory in China. Visiting factories to collaborate and design directly on the factory floor helps us maximize material use and save resources.
Meeting "the professor"
Designing for life at home
The team focused on combining the need of more spots for storage, maximizing small spaces and wanting to sit comfortably with the lessons from the “bamboo professor.” After 5 days, they headed back to Sweden with a design that was finalized into RÅGRUND towel rack chair. Not only being a chair, it also has a shelf underneath and a high back where you can hang towels or clothes. Naturally, it matches the RÅGRUND shelving units, mirror and toilet roll stand. The story of RÅGRUND proves you never know when and where you'll learn something new!

What is bamboo?
Bamboo is a grass that can grow up to three feet per day. It spreads quickly and requires hardly no fertilizers and pesticides. Bamboo can be woven into fabrics or used as a durable, stable and hard material suitable for furniture. When used for furniture
