Born in 1776, Hamilton Brown came from Tullyloob, County Down, Ireland to Jamaica in order to earn his fortune. He came with his uncle, Alexander Hawthorne who became an attorney and found the young Hamilton a job as an estate bookkeeper for a new friend in Jamaica. Within a few years, Hamilton Brown had made a name for himself; buying and selling slaves and property. He would mortgage the property and before long owned more than 6 properties, each with a slave population. He lived in Saint Ann parish on the eastern side of Jamaica and represented the parish for 22 years in the House of Assembly of Jamaica. He founded Hamilton Town, which was later renamed Browns Town. He was a sugar planter and cattle breeder. He brought over 300 people from Balleymoney, County Antrim, Ireland to Saint Anne in a brig that he owned, but most were little more than white slaves unless they had specific skills. He was often criticized for his treatment of his slaves and workers. When he died in 1843 it is guessed that he had more than 30 children himself by different slave women, a common thing for slave owners in Jamaica. Although he never married, he left part of his property to his son Hamilton Brown Jr, a mulatto whose mother was Kate Williams, a Negro Ebo slave who was brought to Jamaica before 1832 when slavery was abolished in Great Britain. The picture on the front cover is of Turtle River Falls in Saint Ann Parish,

Cheap and unstable
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel, Color: Black
Although this has nothing to do with the product, it arrived a day later than previously stated. Making me have to create a makeshift room divider the day it was actually needed. When the product arrived it arrived in a box that showed no evidence of damage. Once opened, divider was found inside a plastic cover. Great protector for dust or scratching. The divider was fully assembled so there was nothing for me to do but remove it from packaging and use it where needed. After further inspection the divider was not only cheap and flimsy looking it was absolutely unstable. It would wobble and appears to have been assembled in a rush making some panels crooked. I noted significant damage to the bottom portion of some of the panels both front and back. It does not feel like an item worth the price. The color is as advertised and the product had no smell. The sizing was accurate.

Exactly what I needed for my bathroom refresh.
Color: B. Rustic Brown - Americana Farmhouse Style, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22.5inches, Color: B. Rustic Brown - Americana Farmhouse Style, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22.5inches
I bought these floating shelves in the color Rustic Brown to replace a bulky storage shelf that was making my bathroom feel cramped, and they completely transformed the space. The wood finish looks much more expensive than I expected, and once installed they gave the bathroom a clean, modern, spa-like feel without taking up visual space. Installation was straightforward overall. I mounted one screw in the center into a stud and used drywall anchors for the remaining hardware, and the shelves feel very sturdy. They sit flush against the wall and don’t sag or wobble. I especially love how slim they are while still being deep enough to hold everyday bathroom items, decor, candles, skincare, and small baskets. The color worked perfectly with my bathroom vanity and mirror trim, and the floating design instantly made the room look more organized and intentional. Huge upgrade for a small space. Definitely recommend if you want functional storage that also looks elevated and minimalist.
