I bought this because I needed a towel rack that had a very narrow footprint. The base of the rack is a white melamine tray that came stained on one of the corners. I was surprised at how cheap looking it is.  I have it turned so that the stained part is to the wall, but I may take it out altogether.  The towel bar itself is nice looking with very clean lines. 

Assembly was pretty easy, but it helped to have another pair of hands. There were metal shavings flying when you pounded the pieces together with the rubber mallet.  I would assemble this outside on a hard surface. 

Pros: Doesn't take up a lot of room
Cons: Shoddy tray
