I bought this to use as a towel rack in my bathroom. It looks great, but doesn't work very well. The towels won't stay up on the dowels, they are always slipping off. I decided to use it as a rack for my son's room as he has quite a few hoodies, jackets and hats. They won't stay on either. Looks nice, but doesn't have a functional use. I am pretty bummed about it.
