Wicker has really been having a moment, and I am *so* here for it and all of its cottagecore vibes

It seems like lots of other people are, too. When TikToker Chels (@itschelseahope) posted about a supercute wicker, scalloped side table with shelving found at HomeGoods, more than 146,000 people viewed the video and more than 8,000 liked it. “When you find a mini scallop shelf for only $39,” Chels captioned the TikTok.

I can’t believe Chels found this adorable wicker piece for only $39!! In this economy?! Unheard of. TikTokers are loving Chels’s find. One person commented, “✨ obsessed✨,” while another person said, “She’s soooooo cute!!! 🥰.”

I think the shelf adds a really whimsical and sweet element to a living space, and is also so convenient for storing those items that you’re constantly trying to figure out how to keep organized. 

In the video, Chels uses the piece as extra storage in the bathroom, and I think this placement is perfect. Because the shelf is on the smaller side, it won’t take up too much room in a small bathroom (which I’m assuming most of us college kids have!). I am constantly reorganizing beauty products and hair tools that end up all jumbled (sorry, roommates). With an item like this, I could store them on the shelves either on their own or in cute baskets.

All that said, I feel like this shelf could really work anywhere — as a nightstand, as a couch side table, even as extra kitchen storage. It would make a great addition to a tea and coffee station! 

If you’re checking HomeGoods stores but having trouble finding the exact shelf Chels nabbed, you could consider any of these wicker and/or scalloped options that are shoppable online.
