17-11-2024From reading the other reviews, it seems that many of the problems are due to the included anchor (standard expanding metal molly bolt type). Im not a fan of these, because once expanded you basically have to drive them through the wall to remove them. Instead of using these anchors, I did myself a favor: I removed the included anchors from the plastic mount and instead used threaded drywall anchors (EZ Ancor 75lb rating, look like big plastic screws, the top flange is exactly the same size as the recess in the mount, and the screws that come with them fit the hole in the mount perfectly). With these installed in the wall, the mounts screw down nice and tight - solid, absolutely no wiggle or play, no worrying about how many turns you need, and I can unscrew these if I ever want to remove them from the wall in the future. (Even though you technically dont have to, I predrilled holes for the anchors to keep them neat.) Note: the 75lb rating plastic anchor splits when the mounting screw is driven in completely. The EZ Ancor line also includes a metal anchor that, like the older plastic model, doesnt split, and is rated at only 45 lbs. Although better than the molly bolts, the non-splitting threaded anchors dont hold nearly as solidly as the splitting ones.) I had mixed results with the clicking of the ends to the mounts: with the 24-inch models, all audibly (but quietly) clicked. The 18-inch models did not (or didnt click loudly enough for me to hear them - the tabs arent all that big). However, all are very snug fitting, and Im pretty confident that theyll hold up. Make sure that you triple-check your measurements between centers (18 rack has 18 centers, 24 rack has 24 centers) and that you have the tabs on the mounts on the correct side to match the holes in the end pieces. Overall, a pretty solid design (much better than those cheap setscrew, sheetmetal mount racks that they replaced), and they match the Eva faucets as well.

> 3 dayI bought this to replace an older towel rod thats on a wall where a pocket door is hiding. The old towel rod was fine because it didnt go too deep into the drywall. But this product uses its own mounting hardware, which goes pretty deep into the wall. It ended up hitting the pocket door hidden inside the wall, so Im going to have to install this elsewhere. Its still great quality. Also, watch the helpful videos posted on this products page. They arent titled too intuitively but they do cover the install for this type of mounting.

> 3 dayBar itself looks good, but the mounting method is no good. One of the plastic tabs broke off after a few years and the bar just fell onto my tile floor. Re-mounted with a replacement piece from Moen and it months later the bar fell again. Im now looking for a new towel bar with a different mounting method.

> 3 day...hard to get excited about a towel bar. It works. Its pretty. It goes with all of the other Eva fixtures I got for the bathroom. If you compare the color of this, though, to the color of the other brushed nickel Eva fixtures, youll see its more silver... more of a stainless hue. Thats what I was expecting, but its a tad bronzier in color. Worth getting to match your other fixtures.

> 3 dayThis sat in my office for more than a month waiting for me to install it because I thought it was going to be a huge pain. It was SO easy to install! Drilled two holes, pushed in the pieces, tightened and put on the rest. Ten minutes, tops. Make sure you follow the directions to keep the locking tabs facing the correct way and it will go together super quickly. Highly recommend.
