When company comes, it is great to have a place to offer for their luggage.  It is about knee height, making it easy to pack and unpack.  I always appreciate these in the hotels, so I decided to get them for the guest rooms at home. I also use one for myself because I am always looking for a temporary place to set things.  Then I can fold it up and put it in a closet when I am finished.  I like it.
