Utility room rack?

It won't seem to let me post an image on here so have posted the link instead. If anyone can tell me what this is meant to be used for I would be very grateful!

It's in the utility room in our new house.

Thank you

    It's for brooms and mops - you put the handle between the ball/roller and the flat side, and gravity and friction make the ball roll until it grips the item - however, it's not always strong enough IME :(

    We have similar one of these - was in the house when we moved in. It is ok - sometimes the broom drops to the floor, but it holds things most of the time.

    Although, I think I would just go with hooks next time.

    Yes, mine failed with a Steam mop, which was fatal for the steam mop :(
