This item was picked as one of the many gifts for our daughters wedding shower. We also put her great grandmothers homemade afghan on the top rail. When she unwrapped it, she began to cry. I do feel that we
made the perfect selection to compliment their quilts. It is heavier, so adding more quilts did not compromise the 
stability of the rack at all. It is a beautiful addition to anyone wanting what could easily become a family heirloom!
