Moen YB2824CH Eva Collection 24-Inch-Towel Bar, 24 Inch, Chrome

I really like the towel bar, but the mounting brackets and mounting hardware leave much to be desired. It was mounted in my bathroom by a professional and the wall anchors provided had to be replaced with standard wall anchors. Also, the mounting bracket was brittle. The actual finished product to the mounting system was well designed.

Great looking tower bar at a nice price. We bought these to match the ones that were already in our bathrooms because we wanted more places to hang towels. There are only two reasons Im giving this four stars instead of five: 1) The horizontal bar does tend to wiggle a little between the side supports. I dont think this is a factor of how I mounted it (I mounted about four of these and they all did the same thing), its just the way the item is constructed. 2) As other reviewers have suggested, youre better off tossing the mounting screws that come with this and using some better hardware. I agree with the reviewer who suggested the E-Z Ancor drywall anchors (available on Amazon and the big-name hardware stores), and Ill add that I have also had good success with Cobra anchors (some of which are rated for up to 100 lbs -- but that would be some darn heavy towels!). Unfortunately, even with a good drywall anchor, two of the four towel bars I installed still had a little wiggle at the mount -- not between the mount and the wall, but between the feet of the towel bar and the mounting plates you install beneath them. Fortunately the wiggling doesnt seem to affect their sturdiness or weight capacity. All in all, this is one of those items that, in my opinion, looks more expensive than it is. And thats always a good thing.

I love the smoothness of the Moen Eva line and have done all my bathrooms with the oil rubbed bronze. In the past we have had a problem or two with the black installation pieces but Moen has been very accommodating in sending replacement pieces. Dont tighten them down too much or the ends will not snap on properly. We had to make some adaptions for mounting onto wood. Weve never had a bent bar.

Im redoing my entire master bathroom and want the fixtures and towel bars to be from the same collection and style. I was a little apprehensive about the Pro-Fit mounting system used for the Eva collection. When I went to mount the towel bar I had to remove it from the mounting post to make some minor adjustments. There is a small opening in the bottom where you have to insert a very small screwdriver and push on the locking tab to release. You have to apply some pressure all the while pulling on the mounting arm to release it from the post. When I did this to one of the sides the little plastic locking tab broke off completely thus rending the mounting post useless. So I contacted Moen about this situation and was told the you cannot purchase, nor do they stock, the mounting post. However, they were kind enough to send me a complete 18 chrome towel bar which included the posts. So in a nutshell, if you need a mounting post for whatever reason either hope that Moen is generous in the warranty and sends you a whole new package or go with something else. Id rather use the type of mounting bracket that uses the little set screw. That has always worked for me and is metal which wont break like this terrible mounting system.

Bathroom

Even though my house was knew I needed an extra bar this match my other bathroom hardware looks great and the price was excellent I purchased two

Looks good and matches the Moen faucet in the bathroom. Did I mention it is a Moen?

Very easy to install. I was surprised how solid the bar is. Some products Ive seen or used in the past seem like fake chrome on a plastic or barely metal, these actually have some weight to them and are very solid.

It matches the faucet in b.room. This is the 3rd moen towel bar Ive installed. Very easy to install. The finish on the towel bar is excellent. OK price. Would buy again.

Bought to match the rest of the bathroom fixtures. Looks good!
