After I realized that the ladder I received was not the one I ordered, Wayfair was great about helping me get the right one (the one I got was in poor condition and cost about a third of this one). This ladder is great! It's a beautiful piece, well made, and not rough - so I can definitely hang my scarves off of it. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the "ageing" of the piece. Where it looks like it's worn off is fine, but I'm not a fan of the rusty, bloodstain red color across the middle. Luckily for me it will be covered up with scarves so it won't matter.
