Product Insights
The Umbra Black Double Towel Rack, a Canadian-designed sculptural two-tier palm motif by Alan Wisniewski, offers a compact 10-inch freestanding solution for two hand towels with a cement-weighted base ensuring stability and an integrated tray that catches drips and holds small items, all at $35 CAD—40-70% less than comparable brands—though its steel eco-friendly finish is prone to water spots and scratching, and the 13.5-inch clearance restricts use to hand towels whose ends rest on the tray, requiring careful maintenance to avoid chipping and moisture damage.

The Perfect Solution
Exactly what I was looking for! I did not want a towel hanger on the wall, so having this on the vanity has been ideal. Well made and fits my style perfectly.
