Buying checklist
- Measure the height, width and depth of the spot first. Listed heights run from 30 in to 43.62 in.
- Decide between floor, over-the-door and wall mounted. They need different things.
- Check the floor footprint of the racks, such as 16.5 in by 11.4 in for the first two.
- Check what is included: only the 5-story rack and TETOTE name hardware.
- Check the finish near water: painted, unfinished and powder coated all appear.
- Look for a weight limit. No listing states one.
FAQ
Which towel caddies stand on the floor?
The 3-tier rack, the rack with dividers, the 5-story holder and the TETOTE are freestanding. The Aetyord goes over a door and the STWWO is wall mounted.
What should I measure before ordering?
Measure the height, width and depth of the spot. Listed heights run from 30 in for the STWWO to 43.62 in for the TETOTE, and the first two racks list a 16.5 in by 11.4 in footprint.
Does the finish show the rack will resist water?
No. Painted, unfinished and powder coated finishes are listed, but none of the listings makes a rust or waterproof claim in its fields. The 5-story rack is listed as unfinished, so check before using it near water.
Can I assume hardware is included?
No. The 5-story rack lists instructions, tools and a screw, and the TETOTE lists hooks and screws, but the other four name none. Confirm on the product page.
What does the 15 Count on the Aetyord mean?
The listing says 15 Count but the title describes a single 6-tier rack. The listing does not explain the number, so confirm what arrives.
Closing note
Pick by form and space first. The first two racks and the TETOTE suit floor space, the Aetyord suits a door, and the STWWO suits a wall. Confirm size, hardware and any weight limit that a listing leaves out.
