I am very happy with this towel shelf.  It gives my bathroom a hotel or spa vibel.  There are small seams on each end of the front bar which does not bother me.  It's not noticeable once  the towels are stacked on top of the shelf.  It also curves out slightly which makes folding the towels on top easier.  The one I saw at Lowes was more narrow.  This one is better.   It looks really great.
