Nice looking and helpful pole but has some flaws. Instructions are not very good. Was going to use it at the shortest length but then the 4 shelves are all compressed super close-like inches apart. You can't put the shelves anywhere on the pole. They only go on the thinner part of the pole. There were several dents in this which was unfortunate. Overall it is nice but has some drawbacks. The shelves are hard to tighten for super heavy items but they do work adequate for and nicely organize shampoo or conditioner. Just do not overload the shelves or they slide.
