Review on ๐Ÿšฟ Moen Kingsley YB5408CH Double Pivoting by Mike Wallace

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Why is this Moen Kingsley worth the extra price compared to other TP swivel mounts?

Everyone has noticed the benefits of the swivel design. Everything is OK. It's amazing and you'll never look back. Instead of repeating these reviews I would like to comment on why this Moen Kingsley is more expensive than other products. I bought three different TP rotary holders - Moen Inspirations, Delta Mandara and this Moen Kingsley. While they all look and perform well, the Moen Kingsley looks and feels much "richer". The first thing you'll notice when you take it out of the box is that it has some weight. It has a classic elegance that will add a subtle yet surprisingly eye-catching accent to your bathroom. To be honest, it makes the room look more luxurious. The swivel mechanism is smooth-running and makes a pleasant clinking sound when it is closed. Finish - The bronze finish on the product image is very close to what you will get. Perhaps a medium dark on the Kingsley Oil Bronze scale with some lighter highlights. It's not the super dark, almost black color you sometimes see, nor is it the lighter copper color you see. In my opinion, this is what "oiled bronze" should look like. I love Moen lights and only use them in my home, but they really need to be paired with consistent images of their different finishes. Oil bronzes in one collection are NOT the same as in another and their website is very inconsistent and misleading. CONCLUSION: It's expensive, but worth every penny. It's stylish and has a heavy duty and durable swivel mechanism. We loved it so much we bought another one for the downstairs bathroom!
