It shouldn’t take an hour to put something this simple together, but the screws were very hard to get started into the connecting bars. I finally figured out to screw the connections into the screws and even that took some time to get it to grip.  I like the look of it. It is intended for average length towels, not the longer bath towels. The longer ones are fine on the top and middle bar, but touches the floor in the lower bar. I never thought to measure the length of my towels before purchase. It would have been nice to read in the description.
