I looked at this towel stand for months before deciding to order it for my recently remodeled  modern bathroom.  It not only is perfect in scale and function, but it is even more beautiful than pictured. I thought the gray base might be cheap looking, but it is the opposite.  The stand  has some heft; not flimsy at all and yet I can easily move it to clean floors.  My bathroom design did not allow for any wall space for towel bars, but it has generous floor space, so this stand was the perfect solution as it is equally accessible from both my shower and my bathtub. I was unsure if I wanted the matching toilet paper stand, but now I will also order that.  Both are priced economically compared to others brands such as WS, but still offer great quality and great style.
