Finish and sealing
Look for a polyurethane, oil or marine varnish finish on all sides, including the feet. Unsealed wood absorbs water, darkens and cracks. Re-oil or re-varnish every year in humid bathrooms.
Damp care
Place the stand away from direct spray, on rubber feet, and let the wood dry after use. Do not leave soaking towels on it. Good ventilation is the best protection. See bathroom fans.
Size and stability
Ladders are about 150 to 180 centimetres tall and 40 to 50 wide and lean against a wall at an angle. Freestanding stands should have a broad base. Check joints for tight fit and glue, and test with wet towels.
Style
Wood warms a cool tiled room and suits natural, classic and modern styles. Match tones with a vanity top or a shelf for a coordinated look.
Care
Wipe with a damp cloth, oil once or twice a year and avoid harsh cleaners that strip finish. Replace rusty screws. Fixed plumbing should be done by a licensed plumber.
What to check before buying
- Wood and finish. Teak, sealed all sides
- Joints. Tight, glued
- Feet. Rubber, off the floor
- Size. Fits the space
Wood or metal
Wood looks warm but needs care, while stainless steel or aluminium needs almost none. For a very wet bathroom, choose metal and keep wood for a dry corner.
Before you decide
Choose teak or well sealed wood, place it away from spray and re-oil yearly. A wooden towel stand adds natural warmth with only light care. Before buying, check the underside of the feet for a sealed finish, press each joint for movement and ask the seller what oil or varnish was used, so you can renew it the same way next year.
