Review on Kohler K 27290 BN Vibrant Brushed Nickel by Chef Buntiloy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worth the price! Best Bathroom Hardware

I am very happy with my purchase. Like many others, I have cleaned up my living space while social distancing. The bathroom in my mid-century house hasn't been renovated since the 90's. The first step is to replace the outdated chrome hardware. Installation: Hooks are quite easy and quick to install. As always, remember to double measure before drilling. Design: Hooks are minimal and functional. Their shape is attractive, with a polished but matte sheen. The color is slightly warm and contrasts with my "Simply White" Benjamin Moore color. Shoe does not look finished. For families with young children, Vibrant Brushed Nickel may not be the ideal finish as it picks up fingerprints easily. Keep in mind that brushed nickel can be difficult to match. Get ready to commit to the Kohler brand (showing the Elate heated towel rail in the third picture). The metal appears uniform and satisfactory in thickness. The metal material is well machined and tough compared to cheaper options. Mechanics: Unlike many tub hooks, the cylindrical lip bolts to the base. The bar at the base hangs the bath towel enough without falling off. There is no excess metal to interfere with gripping a towel. The mounting bracket has horizontally and vertically spaced holes that allow adjustment to ensure the height of the bracket. The base attaches to the bracket with a hex pin, which screws well and securely fastens to the bracket. You get what you pay for. Here we are talking about a quality thing that will accompany you for many years.
