Choosing a Modern Wooden or metal Over Toilet Etagere - Golden Oak Over the Toilet Étagère from The Renovator’s Supply, White Metropolitan Étagère from Zenith Products, and the Bathroom Étagère - Fits over the Toilet (White)  from Organize It All

What, you might be asking, is an étagère? Not everybody knows the answer to that, so let us quote from the Merriam-webster.com dictionary: “a piece of furniture consisting of a set of open shelves for displaying small objects and sometimes having an enclosed cabinet as a base”. It will not surprise you to learn that it is French in origin.

A toilet étagère is an over the toilet storage unit, much the same as a space saver. It just sounds a bit more up market, although the quality may not be any better than equivalent space savers. Original etageres of old would have been made of wood, but today the use of metals and plastic in over toilet shelves has extended into the étagère.

If it is wood that you prefer, there are lots of wooden etageres on the market in various designs, some distinctive and some plain. Many are made from particle board and MDF, but if you like solid woods such as oak, then you will find something that suits. One such example, made from solid oak, is the Golden Oak Over the Toilet Étagère from The Renovator’s Supply. This has a simple design, but is made from solid oak and is very durable. It has a lovely golden oak finish, and with 2 open shelves and a top which can double as a shelf, there is some useful storage space for bathroom essentials, or for display purposes. This sells at just under $200.

For a cheaper wooden étagère in white finished wood, you could look at the White Metropolitan Étagère from Zenith Products. This is currently available at under $140, and also has a simple design. Nonetheless, it is an attractive piece of over the toilet furniture with at a modest price. The storage it offers is one shelf and a two door cabinet.

There are much cheaper alternatives around, one of which is the metal framed Bathroom Étagère - Fits over the Toilet (White) (64.875"H x 22.875"W x 13.375"D) from Organize It All. It has three mesh shelves and a sturdy frame, and is economically priced at under $80.
