Fast shipping, item was brand new, the base is a dark gray, and the installation was very easy (8 screws).  

Now, I can hang my wet towels to air dry because the top is wide enough to stretch the towel and it looks very nice with the rest of the bathroom.  The base is a charcoal gray that goes well with most decors.  I tried to displayed the top view to show one towel fully stretched and the other fold.  There are two levels so longer towels will not reach the floor but both have the same width.  My floors are Ibiza stone, shower floor has stone and glass plus the bathroom walls are limestone.  Cabinets are dual tone (mixed of espresso and grey) so the base blends with the cabinets.
