I have a couple of them in my home, for when I am packing and unpacking. They hold a suitcase at a convenient height, and fold up when not in use.

Not just suitcases, for lump travel bags they work wonders as well. I always suspected the idea comes from a cleaning lady, now they can still vacuum while your bag doesn't have to be moved. It also increases the chances of keeping the bag clean.

Suitcases are kind of rough on furniture... you don't really want a traveler throwing them on your tables and desk, especially the nicer ones with glass or nice wood finish. The ground is dirty, and the bed is going to get dirty. These things are cheap, doesn't take up space, and protects the hotel furniture and gives you easy access to the contents.

It'd be good if this answer actually says what it is, not just what it's for.

@pacoverflow Well I don't have a clue what it's called and actually the first time I encountered this was puzzled as well. Hey, it's a stand to put your bags on instead of on the bed.
