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.”

Perfect stand for small areaJoanneThis corner shelf is perfect on the floor in my bathroom. The style is versatile and the bamboo adds to the decor of the room. It is a good value for the price. It was very easy to assemble.
VersatileAnonymous reviewerInitially we bought it for the living room to house electronic devices (modem, router) and now we use it as a corner storage on the kitchen countertop. Easy to assemble and good quality material.
Fantastic shelvesCherylLove this sturdy, great sized corner shelf unit. Bought it for our bathroom and it's perfect.
Tub shelfKellyUsing as a shampoo /soap shelf by our new tub. It works great!
PERFECT SHELFMonicaTHIS WAS THE BEST PURCHASE FOR WHAT WE ARE USING IT FOR. SO EASY TO PUT TOGETHER AND VERY STURDY.
GreatGloriaVery happy with this little shelf. It's the perfect size and fit for my small entryspace.
Color not accurate to photosKellyIt is lighter and not as warm in tone as the pictures portay. I was hoping it would match a bamboo shoe rack (not from Ikea) that I have, but it unfortunately does not. Otherwise basically what you expect. Easy to assemble, just be careful if you care which is the long side, since it isn't quite symmetrical. A bit overpriced for what it is.
CornerstandGregoryEasy to assemble. Great use of space for a small bathroom
Exactly what I wanted!SuzanFits perfectly and I'll be ordering another one.
Fine small bathroom shelfJaneThis little shelf is serving the need I had for a small corner shelf in my bathroom. What I did not realize, was that two shelves were intended to be used underneath a sink. There is a left side and right side assembly difference. It doesn’t matter in my case, but if you are setting the shelves up under a sink, be careful to assemble them using the enclosed instructions. All in all, just what I needed for my purpose. I only gave it four stars because I think it’s a little expensive for the product. I do appreciate that it’s bamboo though.
Awesome corner shelfTrishExceeded my expectations! I set it on my desk at work in the corner behind my monitors and it’s perfect! Beautiful and functional. Highly recommend!
Perfect little ShelfKellyI was looking for a little shelf to put in a corner of my bathroom and this is just the right size . I could store a few essentials so nobody gets stranded on the pot without paper.
Cute, but....JessicaCute, but screws on one leg did not drive in flush.
Fits perfectly in our tiny bathroomPaulaPerfect for small spaces. I can keep all essentials organized in an else dead space. Perfect!
I would buy again!MarcySuper easy to assemble, just what I needed for my office space under my desk.

Fills a corner that IDianeFills a corner that I couldn’t find anything for previously. Perfect size!
Excellent little shelf unit.SuzanneExcellent little shelf unit. Fits perfect in bathroom!
Excellent qualityKarenI love the material and it was simple to assemble. My issue is only the size between the shelves. I had to remove the middle shelf because I have liter sized bottles which won't fit without removal. Nice pieces, though.
Good use of otherwise wasted space.LeslieKeeps items out of view, too.

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!
Material
What is bamboo?
Strong, flexible and one of the world's fastest growing plants – bamboo has many uses that make it an excellent renewable material. It’s a type of grass and usually grows without the need for fertilizers or irrigation. After being harvested, it grows new shoots that are ready for harvesting after 4-6 years. At IKEA, we use bamboo for items like furniture, bathroom decor, baskets and lamps – and we are constantly exploring more areas of use for this versatile material.
