Review on Essentials 24 In Towel Bar by Andy Quade

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Parts of excellent quality but the installation is a little difficult

Like other Grohe products that I have bought, I am very satisfied with the quality and design of the product installed. However, assembly is unnecessarily complicated by the poor design of the anchor bolts. The sockets of the drywall anchor bolts do not have a nose (as shown). So if you stick them in a wall and screw in a screw, they will pierce the wall. If they had a little lip, this wouldn't have happened. Since I used a 15/64 bit (slightly smaller than the recommended 6mm), I know the problem was NOT that the holes I drilled were too big. I compensated for this by being very careful with the screws. Turn the screws a few turns to allow the plastic bushings to expand a little before applying a strong force. A couple of them didn't work with this method so I had to grab the bushings with needle nose pliers to allow the screw to go a few turns to get the bushing in place. However, this is not required.
