Well, it is above the bed, but you get the idea. We wanted a place to put glasses and cell phones (that we use as an alarm clock as well) so we added this little shelf. Just a pair of rosettes and a length of casing just to length (62"). The casing has little ridges that are perfect for holding our phones at a viewable angle and the whole thing stands off the wall enough to run a charge cord behind it to the phones when we have shore power.
