This is a stylish and well made towel stand.  No assembly.  Well packed and protected.  The chrome finish is high quality, not cheap plastic like some.   The depth of the base and the top is compact, so it fits perfectly on the counter ledge behind my kitchen sink.  Saves a lot on paper towels by having a kitchen towel there as well.   Would work well for small guest towel in bathroom too.  If there is any room for improvement with this stand, the base could be just a little heavier.  However, I needed it to have a small base to fit behind my sink, so that is a good trade-off in my opinion.
