Can this be put on the wall and used as a towel shelf?

I absolutely bet that you could do that. It is very sturdy, light weight, and is open at the back. I bet you could attach it to the wall and put things in the openings. The wood is very pretty.

I don't believe that the rack itself comes with hardware for hanging it on a wall. However with clever engineering on your own you could hang it on a wall. The diameter of your rolled up towels would need to approximate the diameter of a common wine bottle to fit in each slot. But it would be very classy if all of that works out.

Actually, it would look cool as a towel shelf, but hanging it would be a little bit of challenge. If you're a little bit handy, you could definitely rig up a wall mount from those at a hardware (would have to hook under the crests of the two top cavities). The real challenge is that the holes are only 7 inches deep--so if your towels rolled up are longer than say 10 inches, they'll droop and won't look so hot in the holder.

I would say yes if it were just for looks, but the paper towel rolls don't seem to spin all that easily on the mount. Because of this there's quite a bit of tension on where it's mounted to the wall. You may be safe if you covered the entire length of the back with adhesive, but I couldn't say for sure.

It can, but it will probably not be stable. It doesnt have the weight to the wood like a regular wood shelf would have.

I don't think so. The paper towel holder is meant to be held against a flat surface, a flat vertical surface. If you were to put it under a cabinet it might work but the paper towels would be dangling; it would be awkward .

You could possibly hot glue it to something on the wall, like a command hook, it has a flat plastic back. So i would say you could try, but not sure how well it would hold.

There is room for it to be there but there would have to be some holes drilled or something. I can't tell how the towel bar was attached so I can't totally say it can be. My son put it together for me and I have no idea how it goes together.

I think that is right on the line of plausible. I wouldn't chance it. The back is open, so the space you have to put screws is very small. They would have to be close to the edge, which means if it is going to tear, the thing will fall. You could get a very small floating shelf and set it on top of that.

I have this same shelf. It's not really designed to hang on the wall, and I'm not aware of a hanging system for this shelf. With some thought put into it, there might be a way to hang it. It's a great shelf otherwise.

It's really meant to be attached to a wall. If you just placed it on a counter, every time you tried to pull a paper towel off, the whole thing would probably just slide off the counter as it's not that heavy.

Shelves are sturdy enough to hold supplies for laundry. Towel bar is too close to the wall ( not deep enough) to hang a full size hanger as it would hang in a closet. I use a tension shower bar (white)in my laundry room to hang clothes on from the dryer.

I would say no unless you connect the shelf to the wall. You could always put together w/o the back and give it a try.

Yes can mount it on the wall it is plastic though so not sure how well it will mount I have it on my shelf right now

That depends... there aren't any holes for screws, so it isn't designed to be hung. However, there is a small wood board on the back, that you could drill holes into and attach it to the wall that way. The shelf is heavy, so you would need really strong mounting screws or extra support in the hardware you use (or screw into a stud). So, bottom line is it probably could be hung on the wall - but it isn't designed to be.

It is a fairly heavy unit empty; more so when filled with paper. You could probably put it on a secure shelf, but I don't believe there was hardware to attach it to the wall itself.

If your walls are plaster or plaster board you will need to put anchors in the wall first, wood walls you can just use the screws. Works great for holding towels.

Why not? It can be done, it is of hard material, except that you will have divider instead of a shelf. Is that what you need? LehighandMe

I think it would work fabulously as a towel rack. I am using it as a hat and purse rack, but thanks for giving me the idea to change out my towel racks for one or two of these!
