Forget the hype. Taking a bath can be a deeply traumatic experience, especially if you're actually trying to enjoy having one.

Reddit user's canipetyourdog21's boyfriend recently designed a shelf that makes taking a bath genuinely pleasurable.

The shelf, which affixes to the bathtub, includes a wine cup holder and carved out spaces for candles and an iPhone.
