Review on Rustic Industrial Bathroom Towel Bar With Metal Pipe And Solid Wood Wall Mount - Hanging Towel Rack For Modern Decor And Industrial Fixtures by Yousef Dudley

The towel rack is decent looking and seems to be simple and sturdy. However, the way the mounting plates are attached is very flawed, which leads to overall durability issues. The wood under the mounting plate is routed out to give the screw head space while the board sits flush on the wall. Unfortunately the area the screws pass through to attach the mounting plates to the board was ALSO routed out, so only a fraction of the screw length is actually engaged with the wood. And it's not a thick board in the first place. Tearing the screws out is only a matter of time. The second time it happened, I put in wood filler to give the screws more to grab onto and has been working fine since. That's a shame, since it seems all they had to do to have a good product was to remove less material.
