This spool is about 35 1/2" tall and 51 1/4" across. It has two sections, as distinct from the typical one section - as though it was designed to hold two sets of cable.

I used it to stand up the pole for my solar powered clothes dryer. Due to potential tiny pests and having found a metal alternative I decided to part with it. Some of the wood is falling off and the bolts are rusty. The side that faced the ground sat on 2" bricks and seems in better condition than the side that faced up.

If I were to retain it for my current purpose and applied better practices, I'd apply pest resistant and rain resistant coatings, stand it at least 6" on blocks off the ground with a tilt to help drain water and decide whether to replace any boards.

I'm open to doing delivery. I'd expect to be paid for the delivery. Otherwise, this spool is free.

Uses could include the following: toy for old enough people, table, clothes dryer stand, item for stunts and entertainers, umbrella holder, garden hose holder, water hose holder, garden tool container.
