These items were mediocre at best. The item looks nice but the quality of it just leaves a lot to be desired for the price. The poles were hollow with a simple threaded rod holding it together. the base cover was made of thin cardboard and the "weight" of the item was literally a 10lbs weight bolted to the base. The structure does not seem like it will hold up for very long. And again, for $300+ not what I was hoping for. I could have build something very similar for a quarter of the price.

Requires minimal assembly. Arms are variably positionable. Looks expensive. Frankly, I would prefer a stand which offers 'hoops', instead of arms to hold the towels; but I've looked everywhere and this is the only option I could find. Thus I am happy to have it.
