Comments

The towel rack has two wooden rods, each octagonal in shape, inserted into uprights that angle outwards.  The uprights are mortised into a base shaped from a solid block of wood.  It has four inclined and a flat top.  The underside is hollowed out to form feet at each end.  The entire rack is painted a dark red.
