We just moved into a brand new house.  We are up there in age and have an "age in place" home now and loving it.  The bathroom we purchased this towel rack for leans on the narrow side and it seemed that the normal racks, although very pretty, would always be in the way.  And so, we purchased this narrower rack.  Was not sure we were really going to like it but it fit our needs.  We do like it.  As we each have our own bathroom, we're not looking to put a lot of towels on it, which would not work.  Just right for us.
