This is lightweight but sturdy enough and does exactly what I needed it to do - store towels in a tiny bathroom. Folded up, you can fit about 3 large bath towels per shelf. I was afraid they'd look crammed in there, but they actually fit nicely so long as you fold them well. There's enough clearance on the bottom to hide the scale as well. The bamboo is smooth and I did not see any cracking or splintering, so I'm not worried about towels getting caught on it either.
