Review on 🧼 Moen 18-Inch Towel Bar with Shelf, Chrome - Donner Commercial 5207-181CH by Leslie Morrison

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality, the dimensions given in the details are not correct.

The product itself appears to be of very good quality, essential assembly hardware is included. The only thing I don't like is that the product name says 24 inch strip. Okay, I'm smart enough to know that this is a nominal measurement and shouldn't be interpreted as EXACTLY 24 inches. So I read the detailed description here on Revain very carefully. x 1.5 inches to be exact. So I think, well, they're giving me accurate measurements to the nearest half inch. The claimed width is 25. So it could be 24.5 to 25.5 inches. Excellent! My actual build space is 25 7/8. I can just do it and life will be great. Not so. The crossbar on the mounting plate is 24 inches center to center. 24 3/4 from far left to far right. There are 3/4" more brackets on either side, resulting in an overall width of 26 1/4". It doesn't fit so I have to send it back. But I wonder what these people think when they write detailed descriptions? The product name says 24 inches. The part says 25. It's actually a 26 (a bit wider, so the nominal size should be 26.5). For those who have a long wall where it can happen, this detail is not a problem. For those who have a tub body tile on one end and a bend in the wall on the other, we need to know WHAT THE MINIMUM SPACE IS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION?! Please don't be fooled by the 24 and 25 inch specification. If 25 is also nominal, let's say ONLY 24 or ONLY 25. Total waste of time, Revane's time, shipping costs. The only ones that benefit are UPS.

Pros
  • Good assembly
Cons
  • No
