We stayed at the ACE hotel in Seattle a couple of years ago, and although I loved the design and the fabulous showers with speakers overhead playing great music, the mattresses seemed to be industrial as well - hard as GRANITE.

I only wish I had room for a rolling rack in my bedroom...

I second Sisero's comment. Stayed at the ACE in Seattle twice. The private room with bath had a small, hard bed that barely fit me and my 6'5" boyfriend, the toilet and showers weren't very private and the blanket was scratchy. I was hoping it would be an improvement on the non-private room I'd stayed in on a previous visit. It didn't have a bathroom and was FREEZING cold.

I'd love to get my hands on a metal platform like they have for holding shampoo and condition on the pipes of a claw foot tub. (Sorry, I can't find a pic now, but I know I saw one here on AT a few months back.) That would be such a help in my bathroom, so if anyone has ideas, I'd be so appreciative!

I love how those army blankets look, but they are scratchy as all get out.

Really like the look of that Carlo chair and a few others on the Contract web site. Anyone have any experience with them?
