9 on low shelves
As a rule, shelves hang at the eye level - if you want to stand out, place them almost from the floor. This solution is especially appropriate if you live in the attic with a beveled roof.

The advantages of such furniture are the original and changeable design, as well as the ability to adjust the height of the toaster.
