No drill Bathroom Shelves

No Drill Bathroom Shelves

The wall mounted shelves in decorative box or triangular shapes hang on braided cords, which in turn are attached to round tesa® Adhesive Screws. The advantage: The DIY decorative shelf will safely hold as long as you need it and leaves no holes in the wall when you remove it.
