High quality but problem

Great Grohe product but very difficult to get a towel between the counter and the wall. You need to project another 1/2 inch.

Pros
  • Keeping my fists
Cons
  • Zero

Nice design, good quality, shame on the logo

Took it out of the box and was delighted it was just what I was looking for. Chic, modern, appears to be of good quality. Unfortunately, Grohe placed its logo at the top of the right bracket. I don't mind having a mark on the top of the shower faucet, but it's sticky on the rest of the tub. Big bad choice. To return.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Out of style

What about the plastic internals and the terrible anchors?

Bought 2 pieces. I thought they were better quality in this price range. Very disappointed with overall quality and had installation issues. I couldn't tighten the screws because the dowels didn't work. I'll try again with other anchors but I don't like that the internal parts are also plastic. Most likely it won't last, so I'll look for something else.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Some cons

Slim and simple Good for towel rails

Easy to install. According to other reviews I used a variety of wall anchors which required drilling and installing before sticking the back of the decal to the wall. I see that the included anchors go straight into the wall because they don't have a protrusion to hook into the wall. I measured a few times and then marked the holes, drilled, inserted the anchors flush with the wall and put a sticker on the back circle. I (wife) did everything myself. So it's easy. You will need a 1/4" drill…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Not bad but...

High quality accessories

I have installed several brands of bathroom accessories over the past 24 years and I always consider Grohe to be the highest quality. The attachment process is designed for precision, using adhesive tape that allows for precise accessory placement and screw placement. Note that the towel rail is a bit flat which means your wall will also get wet if you have very thick wet towels. I recommend sizing the towel bar so that the length does not require the towel to fold over the bar.

Pros
  • also understand the old
Cons
  • updates available

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…
