Product placement
Joss & Main (a) ACTS: the creator identifies the shelf as a Joss & Main product, demonstrates its use as a home decor item, and explicitly recommends it as sturdy and character-adding. Removing the name would change the video from a product recommendation to a generic shelf styling video.
