Slate Towel Space

I bought 3 of these because instead of a straight edge where the towel would hang instead of being tightened in the usual rounds. After installing the first one I really liked it, but this is my second. I went back and checked the top with my level and it's flat but as you can see the corner is bent and you can see it on the towel. I am completely disappointed and dissatisfied with this as it defeats the purpose of a straight row of towels. This not only reduces the attractiveness, but also…

Pros
  • Good Thing
Cons
  • drives me crazy

Suck mounting anchors

Just a few months after installation all these products are pulling out of the walls leaving gaping holes. The product itself is great, but save yourself the hassle and order a large box of wall anchors and use those instead of those toggles. Wall anchors in the open position are usually fine, but they are designed to be installed vertically when folded. However, you cannot mount them vertically with these products because the mounting scheme requires them to be stacked on top of each other, so

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Appearance

Looks good, easy to install

Installation took about 10 minutes and looks as described. The mount fits the stand well and feels very solid so hopefully it will last a long time. One thing to note is that the stand is a bit longer than most towel rails - I didn't notice that when reading the measurements. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the instructions don't list the size of the drill bit, which annoys me a lot (it's easy to make and saves the installer time). Also, the included drywall anchors aren't…

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Security

Great design but I have a crooked one

I like the design of this holder, it's beautiful. It's a little annoying to wall mount just because, by definition, since it's a towel rail, you have to work in an incredibly tight space between the screw and the wall. My problem is that my piece is literally crooked. The bracket triangle that attaches to the wall mounted part has literally been made slightly askew so it looks slightly crooked on the wall no matter how it is manipulated. It's painfully obvious because it's not a round holder…

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • There are flaws

Bath products can be incredibly expensive for what you get. I was looking for a good price on a polished nickel finish and had a few specific features that I needed most and this set suited me. It also offered a nice functional design with some round and square elements that go well together. This semi-circular design of the towel rail is beautiful because the towel can be folded in half and hung on the rod without tangling. it also protrudes far enough from the wall that the towel can be held…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Poor set

All Retreat Brushed Nickels in my purchase history receive 5 STAR ratings. It's stylish for one. The next area of satisfaction is the "ruggedy" yet "universal" look of this line of products from Moen. It is very difficult to find something super powerful. Stylish (I like). "Very satisfactory appearance," said a man in the house. LOL - that means a lot from him. I just bought a coat hook. After seeing it on arrival. I went back and bought two more. Towel racks etc. It costs money and you pay…

Pros
  • Useful beyond intended purpose
Cons
  • I will add later

We purchased three of these half rings for our renovated bathroom to match the double and single 24" towel rails on the same Retreat model. However, they stick out too far from the wall. This can be ok if it works well, but in my case it's too big and there's no room to trim down like the rod models. You could cut the rods shorter in a pinch, but not in a way that keeps them closer to the wall. I love them and they are well made as are the TP holders but I think I'll have to sell them on Ebay…

Pros
  • Best in class
Cons
  • Weight
