Review on Rustic industrial bathroom towel bar rack - MyGift Torched Wood & Black Metal Wall Mounted Pipe Design by Roberto Cohen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

They are keyhole which is definitely not my favorite. I rummaged through my stash and found it.

I had read reviews of it before buying it and was aware of some of its most notable flaws. In particular, the lack of fasteners, which was even pointed out in the product description. Not so hot what's up. After hanging this towel rail, I really wished it had hanging hardware that was compatible with hanging brackets. They are keyhole which is definitely not my favorite. I rummaged through my stash and found the screws and anchors I need. You might think you could use the same size on each side. Not in this case. On one side, the screw fits perfectly into the bracket. Other? not even close. The hanger was so flush with the faux wood that it didn't slide in. Even if I jammed it. I loosened the suspension a bit and it fit. But the screw holding the brace to the faux wood was so tiny that on my only attempt to attach the board to the wall, I found the screw pulled completely out of the faux wood. The cheapest use of the cheapest hardware you can imagine. If I hadn't seen this prior to the suspension, I guarantee that after some use and wear and tear those tiny screws would pull out of the faux wood and one or both of the brackets would no longer be attached to the faux wood. I ended up using two black wood screws, drilled them through the faux wood and attached them directly to the wall. The faux wood will also need to be bent as it will not sit flush against the wall. Not a big deal as I'm probably the only one who will notice, but it's still low quality. I give it three stars because of the price and the look. Three stars have nothing to do with the quality of the product. In hindsight, I wish I had invested in a real, homemade, non-mass-produced towel rack on Etsy.
