Damon says they met a man they started to call "the bamboo professor". "He literally knew everything about bamboo, and he could make mathematical equations on how to utilize the material, as well as maximize use and minimize waste from the top of his head." "It was really incredible," he adds. "It gave us so many ideas on how to best use the material and insights into what was possible and what wasn’t.”

My new plant standVioletI bought this chair to use as a plant stand for my flowering vine. It has never flowered, but maybe it will like its new home and will flower
Great look, perfect size forSylvieGreat look, perfect size for my need and very useful .
Love itPamelaWe are using it in our entryway. Makes a great place to hang your keys and sunglasses.
Very stableRobertaIt works for what I need it for. It's very stable and can even hold me up. It was just a little difficult to put together, if I had had to do it alone. Luckily, I didn't.
Love it like it betterJanetLove it like it better if you label parts with stickers to meant to show which side should face inside or face outside. I has a slight mishap and didn’t catch til finish
Excellent chair for other usesGaryFantastic design, light weight, beautiful bamboo.
This chair, has the ability for other uses.
I have one that replaced a very small side table.
Another one placed on a table, and a tv on top of the chair.
The tall backrest is very convenient. Hanging items on it makes items easier to find. Also like that items are higher off the ground.
I love this chair, and expect to buy more.
Looks goodRonHigh back is good for temporary storage
Towel rackBernadineI used this in my bedroom! For my clothes, pj's and to store a few blankets underneath. Look cute and organized in the corner of my bedroom so I can change n hang pj's or clothes after use.
Love it!!
Excellent seat. Easy to putSharonExcellent seat. Easy to put together and looks great!
perfectKarlaI bought 2 Ragrund chair with towel racks. One is for my bedroom to hold decorative pillows from my bed and the other is for my living room to hold throws and pillows. I am happy to say that these chairs are perfect for both rooms. The bamboo adds a very nice contrast to other types of wood in both rooms.
Box incompleteKarenI cannot really make a fair review as my box is missing pieces so I’m not able to put it together. Unfortunately, living such a great distance away I’m not sure when I can exchange it…
Easy to build, sturdy forShawnEasy to build, sturdy for its purpose. Small footprint for small bathrooms. Nice bamboo tone
Towel rack/seat for bathroomKarenI just love my new towel rack /seat for my bathrom. It is very sturdy
Attractive looking utility pieceAnonymousGreat for holding bath & hand towels, displaying both decorative pieces and cosmetic / cleansing products
Very functional but some hardware seems wrongAnonymous reviewerMy wife and I both like this product very much. I have it in my bathroom where I use it to hang a towel and place my clothes while I shower. The one thing I noticed while assembling it was that the angle between the seat and the lower back of the chair is not 90 degrees yet there are no steel angle brackets that are not at 90 degrees for fastening the seat to the back. I had to bend two of them to fit.
Fab towel rack!SuzanneBought this for 90-year-old mother in law. Set out to get her a little bathroom stool and found this instead, she was really impressed and just loved it. She has a huge bathroom in her new small retirement residence apartment and it works perfectly for her. Lovely bamboo.
Perfect storage in my closetAnonymousI bought this to hang scarves, store a couple pairs of boots and to catch the odd thing I did not hang up. It works perfectly!
Ragrund chairJanetLove the chair but harder to put together than I thought. Loved finished produce,it looks great in our spare bedroom. Just right for visitors to hang clothes, damp towels, or whatever, really like the size as it fits into small spaces.
Perfect chair for bathroom or bedroomAnonymousBought this for a guest room that needs extra hanging space and a chair. It will also be used in the guest bathroom for clothes and caring for children. It is not super comfortable as a seat. The rails dig into your back, but it's perfect for sitting to put on shoes or putting clothes overnight.
Great for towelsSueI love this item surprised at hot sterdy it is, Pretty solid to sit on really glad I purchased It.

Story
Lessons in bamboo with the professor
You know the feeling when you learn something new. The excitement, and the instant eagerness to learn even more. That’s how we felt when we were fortunate enough to cross paths with the “bamboo professor”. We didn’t even plan to use bamboo for RÅGRUND bathroom furniture, our original idea was a bed. But things changed. And now we know a lot more than we did before.
After some thinking and testing, we realized bamboo is more suitable for a bathroom than a bedroom. Why? It’s a grass that mostly grows in the tropics—a climate similar to a steamy, hot bathroom. To carry out their new plan, product developer Damon Hird and his team left the forests of Sweden and headed to a factory in China. Visiting factories to collaborate and design directly on the factory floor helps us maximize material use and save resources.
Meeting "the professor"
Designing for life at home
The team focused on combining the need of more spots for storage, maximizing small spaces and wanting to sit comfortably with the lessons from the “bamboo professor.” After 5 days, they headed back to Sweden with a design that was finalized into RÅGRUND towel rack chair. Not only being a chair, it also has a shelf underneath and a high back where you can hang towels or clothes. Naturally, it matches the RÅGRUND shelving units, mirror and toilet roll stand. The story of RÅGRUND proves you never know when and where you'll learn something new!
