I love the look of this ladder!  It's lightweight, yet sturdy enough to hold wet towels.  It's coated so there are no splinter issues or dry, cracked wood; and the gray color matches my decor!  I keep it out on my protected patio and the size is perfect.  When not in use, it looks like garden decor, and blends in nicely.  Can't say enough positive things about this unique way to dry wet towels or clothing that looks stylish and imaginative, too!
