This is the 2nd free-standing linen tower I've purchased, and I love them both. however, there is one thing I found problematic: the round metal connectors are much too flexible, the metal easily bending/warping out of shape if things don't align perfectly (which they rarely do) so as to be practically useless.  I use a wood glue to help add strength and bond the wood pieces together.  But overall, I think it's a good purchase, especially for people with homes that (a) do not have a separate linen closet, or (b) simply don not have much closet space, period.  My home fits both criteria, so I'm finding these towers to be great space savers and organizers.  No more digging around hunting for towels and bedsheets!
