Such a nice ladder. The photo they have up for the listing doesn't do it justice. It matched perfect with my dark bamboo blind in the bathroom. The color is a walnut and has nice tones to it. It isn't super warm toned where it would clash with other wood items. It seems very neutral to me. The ladder rungs are round not flat. It makes it nice to hang towels on. They just slide right off when you grab. The wood finish is smooth and polished - won't snag any blankets or towels like some other "rustic" ladders would. The top of the ladder has a slanted edge to rest against the wall and makes it have a sturdy lean. Overall the ladder is super lightweight. Pick it up and move it with a breeze. It comes in one box put together. Just unwrap and enjoy! I love it!
