Looks good: towel rail

This is the mid-range. Not cheap and flimsy, but not heavy like the Moen I've installed in the past. The set of hexagonal screws is annoying. I would buy a quality brand like Moen before buying mid-range bathroom accessories again. I love the design and the look but I will spend a few bucks more to get a product that will last many years longer than this brand.

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

Holds my towels great

Holds my towels great. Nice hardware, looks good, well made. The sealing rings on the joints are particularly pleasant to the touch. I bought three racks and one of the hardware kits was missing set screws. An email to Gatco and 2 days later the set screws and a spare hex key were in my mailbox. First class customer service.

Pros
  • Worth your money
Cons
  • Negative gift

Disappointing: towel rail

Item arrived quickly and was well packaged. My contractor installed a towel rail and it looked great. However, after only a few months it began to come loose at the point where the rod connected to the end part. We kept 2 bath towels on it. I can only assume that the problem was the weight of the wet towels. Although it is very attractive the design seems very poor as the whole purpose of a towel rail is to hold a towel. I ended up buying a product from Kohler which, unlike Gatco's product, is…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Updates

I like that the strip is so thick.

I've looked everywhere for towel warmers including my local hardware store and big department stores. The reason I chose this one was because of the look it gave. I like that the stem has a thickness that gives it an expensive look. Others I checked looked flimsy and cheap. This towel warmer was more expensive, but I've already spent a lot of money on my bathroom renovation, so why buy cheap units and throw everything away. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is because there was no template to…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Doubtful

Good but not recommended

While we really liked the quality and appearance of the product, we had some issues keeping the toilet roll holder and towel rail on the wall. We renovated our beach condo and bought all of the Gatco napkin holders, hooks and towel rails. The hooks weren't a big problem, but the toilet roll holder and towel rails were loose and we couldn't tighten them. So now we need to replace them or find another method of attachment to keep them in place. The wall mount is solid, but after you place the…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Something is wrong

Compared to other decent looking towel rails, this one is a steal. I'm not sure I'd buy it if the other options were the same price, but it does the job and looks like it's worth more than it actually is, so I'm happy with that. It's a bit inferior in quality, IMHO. . The anchors are cheap and one is already breaking off (probably fixable, maybe because I'm doing something wrong) but my biggest problem is that there are actually 3 pieces (not counting the brackets) - a board (rather thin…

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Sad hardware

Above average but not high quality

This towel warmer is above average and attractive enough. Like other reviewers, I sent the Grohe towel rail back because it was too close to the wall. This was the best similar style bar that fit in my space (there are some others with brackets that are too wide). The build quality and finish from Grohe was much better than this towel rail and the style was slightly better in my opinion, but functionality counts and this towel rail works much better. I would rate this as average quality, better

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
