Taymor 04-8430 Infinity Series 30-inch x 3/4-inch Towel Bar, Polished Chrome
This is a complete kit, all you need to provide are the anchors. Installation was a breeze. Just follow the old adage: measure twice, drill once, and you'll be all set.
Fit and finish were fine no complaints there. Has held up fine after 2 months no signs of rust, pitting, or other finish damage. Easily holds three damp towels without any bending, etc. Would happily buy it again.Then these will probably work for you. I'm installing a towel bar in a Starcraft van that I'm restoring. I was leery about this item because of the inexpensive price, although the length and design seemed to match what I wanted. Once delivered, the item is definitely on the cheap side as far as material quality is concerned. I'm just throwing away the one I bought however. It's just too chintzy to go into my van. I just know that six months down the road this finish is going to tarnish, chip, and rust.

InterDesign Formbu 18-Inch Towel Bar, Bamboo
InterDesign Formbu Double Hook, Brushed Stainless Steel/Bamboo
InterDesign Formbu Towel Ring, Bamboo
InterDesign Formbu Towel Bar, Brushed Stainless Steel/Bamboo, 24-Inches
First off they actually look pretty nice. All have a similar design that goes well with each other. All are bamboo with stainless steel on the ends etc. They all feel sturdy and in my opinion well worth the price.
But at first impression I have to say I felt a bit different as many of the stainless steel 'caps' on the end of the towel bars, hook, and toilet paper holder had fallen off. Also, if you look at the pictures you can see round bamboo pieces that sit inside the stainless steel...some of these came unglued. Pretty easy fix for all of that using a couple drops of super glue. Once I did that they looked brand new.
The mounting hardware is a bit cheap...well the screws are fine but the plastic wall anchors were horrible. I tried using them at first and some cracked or simple were too hard for the screws to thread in and made the anchor turn in the drywall.
I replaced them with some other plastic anchors I had lying around and worked like they should.
So I highly recommend super glue and wall anchors.
Other than that I think these are great quality and will last a long time. They have a darker color of bamboo but really look good. I hope this helps.I really like the towel bar. However, plan on buying your own wall-anchors, should you have need of them. The included ones are useless.

This "espresso" colored product along with the matching bathroom toilet tissue roll are painted BLACK, not brown. If you thought "espresso" meant brown and saw the image which looks like stained brown bamboo to me and doesn't even pass as close to black. The paint covers up the wood grains so that you can't tell it's bamboo unless you look really close.Other than the unclear labelling of the color, the quality is high.

Mountain Woods Paper Towel Holder
Buy Mountain Woods Paper Towel Holder Now
It looks great, wooden, but paper towel won't stay on it. The holder would not stay fastened under the counter, even after several time of putting it back up in different place, different screws. Just didn't work for ME. It serves it's purpose for our office certainly good price. Wish wooden insert to hold paper towels was longer. Matches wood in our kitchen perfectly.obviously not much care went into the manufacturing of this holder. corners are stapled and loose, paper towels are sloppily held by a short dowel. certainly expected better for the priceGrundtal Stainless Steel shelving,pan rack,wall shelf for the kitchen
now for the limitations:
1. the counter-sink holes for the screws are not uniform so the screw heads don't seat flush. minor but it's not as clean as it should be.
2. The tubes are made of very thin metal. I have the 48" long version which exaggerates the issue but even the 31" version will have considerable 'wobble' and 'flex' to the tubes when placing items. even a 2-3 pound load will make the tubes bend and flex. It's most noticeable if you put on a small item that only touches 2-3 rods but has some heft to it; it makes other items rock back and forth that share the same rods.
3. egregious oversight: the width does NOT match the standard spacing of STUDS in the wall, so there is virtually no way to mount this item solidly. wall anchors? please. On mine I was able to put the brackets on with the bracket to the OUTSIDE of the bars which spread the spacing between mounting holes to just about 48 ½ inches so i could get the screws into the STUDS so it's solid.
I added some support brackets under the rods at each 16" and now the shelf is 'as it should be'. I could probably put 200# of items on EACH shelf without a problem. My added brackets don't reach to the very first rod so it's super obvious how wobbly the rods are without the added support. I tried to take a picture but didn't have enough hands.This is an attractive and well-built item. I mounted it right above my sink, where I can lay sponges, towels, and where it holds a multitude of kitchen tools, thus freeing up the space around my sink and in my previously cluttered kitchen drawers (you'd be surprised how many of your kitchen utensils -even knives -have hanging holes in them!). As long as you measure your intended wall space correctly, you should love this item! Oh yes, you have to separately buy lots of matching "S-hooks" to hang your utensils, and also some screws to mount the item, too (the lack of which is why I didn't rate this item "5-stars"). Enjoy!

This is a sturdy SS shelf, quality throughout. However, be sure that it is the type of shelf you want. The bearing surface of the shelf is 6 SS tubes. This type of shelf is excellent for some purposes, inappropriate for others. I affixed mine above a triple SS sink to use for drying commercial gear after washing and they work great. Would not work for storing small objects, as an example.Read Best Reviews of Grundtal Stainless Steel shelving,pan rack,wall shelf for the kitchen Here
So I was not sure if this would be a quality product bc of it being such a low price. WOW WAS I WRONG! It is awesome. It looks and does just what it says.. i like it so much I'm probably about to order another.Want Grundtal Stainless Steel shelving,pan rack,wall shelf for the kitchen Discount?
We have a very small kitchen with very few cabinets and we love to cook. This shelf serves as storage for all of our stovetop cookware and utensils and looks great doing it. We store big pans on top and hang small pans and utensils from the rails with the Grundtal S-hooks (purchased separately). You can get it all at Ikea for less but if you do not live near an Ikea, as I do not, the extra money you spend purchasing it here will be less than the gas money you would spend driving into the next state to the nearest Ikea store.Tuesday, August 27, 2013

Buy Hansgrohe 40511000 S and E Accessories Robe Hook, Chrome Now
I ordered these hooks along with other Hans Grohe products because I needed some nice hooks & because I thought the price was reasonable compared to the $130+ my local bath/shower reseller quoted me. When I opened the package I must admit I was concerned that nothing much would even hang sufficiently on the hooks as they are quite small....but voila even my big, heavy robe hangs perfectly off this hook! They look so stylish and make a great addition to the other Hans Grohe products in our bathroom.Read Best Reviews of Hansgrohe 40511000 S and E Accessories Robe Hook, Chrome Here

This paper towel holder is really beautiful. I bought it to use in my new office's kitchen. I thought it was very easy to figure out (there were no instructions in the box), but apparently it was more difficult for some of my co-workers. But after I explained it to them, now everyone is happy with it.Read Best Reviews of Perfect Tear Paper Towel Holder, Wood Here
Gatco 4651 Chenille 18-Inch Towel Bar, Burnished Bronze
I decided to replace it with a different brand and got this. The mount is well designed and solid, easy to install, and it looks great. The towel bar no longer sags or wiggles. But when we had our shower redone, the workers had to take it off the wall so that they could get in and out without damaging it. Once the job was finished, they reinstalled the towel bar but they lost one of the little set screws, so once again, I had a very unstable towel rack.
I contacted Gatco and told them my problem. I also told them that I had replaced the towel bar in my other bathroom with a Gatco towel bar because I'd been so impressed with this one. They sent me 5 new set screws free of charge. And they sent them within just a few days, so I was very pleased, and now all of my towel racks are perfect! Thanks, Gatco!!!

We usually go to Lancaster County for most of our furnishing needs, but I couldn't make the trip this time, so I ordered the wrought iron toilet paper holder and towel bars from Amazon. The price of the actual items were reasonable, but the shipping was high. Other than the price for shipping, the quality is great and they look nice in our home.Want Wrought Iron Toilet Tissue Bar Rack Holder Scroll Discount?
This wrought Iron tissue holder is beautiful and looks great in my bathroom. The only downfall is that it does not come with screws to install it. You will need to get screws and color the tips with a sharpie, which does the job just fine. Overall a great product.Saturday, August 24, 2013

Delta Faucet 77750 Vero Toilet Tissue Holder, Chrome
Nice addition to my modern renovated bathroom. Many compliments on the Vero line of products used through out the bathroom renovation. Also paid almost half the price at amazon than other options.Please note this review is not about the quality of this toilet paper holder--I am sure Delta makes a great quality product. This review is about the esthetics of this item. From the picture and at this angle the item looks simple, elegant, minimalist--all things I was looking for in modern bathroom remodel. Actually the Back of the Toilet roll arm is think and wide actual the largest backing I have ever seen on a toilet paper holder. The roll arm is equally thick and wide. If you are looking for a slim, minimalist design--this is not it! Just an FYI. Also if you are picking a seller to fulfill your purchase PLEASE NOTE THAT PLUMBERS SURPLUS MAKES YOU PAYT FOR BOTH THE RETURN LABEL AND A 20% RESTOCKING FEE--this $45.00 item cost me $20 =/to return. Fool me once shame on you! Fool me twice shame on me....never again.

OXO Good Grips Toilet Brush and Canister, White
This morning I discovered something that led me to throw all three of these away -rust stains on my recently remodeled guest bathroom's stone floor.
The drip pan on the case is shallow. Unbeknownst to me, the drip pan became over full, probably due to the brush being put back into the shell with a lot of water on it on multiple occasions. Water spilled over the edge of the drip pan onto the floor. The metal parts in the drip pan (I think the hinges for the clamshell) that are not stainless steel had rusted over time, so the water that spilled over was orange with rust. Because we rarely use this bathroom, we were not aware that water had overflowed, and it sat there until it dried. Now I have orange rust stains on my expensive stone floor.
Why would OXO, which is known for making quality kitchen and bath products, use non-rust-proof metal in a toilet brush holder? Why is the drip pan so shallow?
I'm now looking for a replacement that has a deeper drip pan and no rusting metal parts.Oxo has come up with a clever way to conveniently hide a hideous toilet brush into a sleek economical case that allows it to drip dry. You hardly have to bend over to use it's automatic flap open when you pull or flap closed when putting it home. It would be very cool in brushed nickel, bronze or stainless. This is a VERY good buy! I bought 3 and now I'm ordering two more.

I have had this toilet brush for years and I love it. The case works well, it is attractive (you know, considering it's a toilet brush), and it works well. The shape of the head gets completely under the rim of the toilet unlike others, which all seem to have exactly the same shaped brush. I used a different brush yesterday that I keep in a second bathroom. It made me realize how good the OXO really is. It sat in a puddle of disgusting water that was trapped inside its case, which ensured that I was cleaning my toilet with stagnant filth. I'm replacing it with another OXO right away! The black section above the head is supposed to be a flexible. It really isn't. That is my only complaint, but it really works fine as is.Read Best Reviews of OXO Good Grips Toilet Brush and Canister, White Here
I find this brush is easy to use with my arthritic hands, looks good, and of course, does a good job. Once again, OXO puts out a great product.Want OXO Good Grips Toilet Brush and Canister, White Discount?
This brush is well designed and constructed. I've used it for over a year, so I know for sure that it's pretty durable. And it has an attractive look about it.So I can recommend this, but it's with one reservation. Oxo has a compact version that sells for $7 less. When I decide to get another brush for a second bathroom, that's the model I expect to get. So, a careful consideration of the size that you actually need might allow you to save some money.
And in this economy, that's not such a bad idea.

Though all in all it is absolutely beautiful (love the razor hooks and the wash cloth bar) -I've only been using it about a month -if I find that it begins to rust, I'll let y'all know :)
Buy InterDesign York Tension Caddy Now
This product looks SO simple to put together, yet it took me about 3 days to complete. That's about 20 minutes a session before I got frustrated and gave up each time. Here's the rundown of what to avoid that the directions don't tell you:1. It says to put the plastic insert rings into the shelves. This is correct. It does NOT point out that there are little lines along the plastic that lock it in place and if you accidently shove the ring in where one of those lines matches up with the screw hole -then you can't put the screw in!! You will need to drill out some of the plastic to fix this. As soon as the plastic it put into the ring, it's not coming out and it can't be rotated.
2. If you put a screw in too tight (which is probably the correct tightness when you are done) it actually bends a mark into the pole which you never see. Even though the third step is to put the screws in lightly I say skip it and do it last. It's almost impossible to put the screw in enough to stay in place but not bend the plastic. Once it's in far enough to bend the plastic you can not longer get the baskets on the pole and if you screw it in while it's on the pole -it actually bends a dent into the metal pole that you cannot see. That's good for keeping it in place, but horrible if you accidently put a dent into the top pole which includes the spring. The spring no longer easily goes into place and it cannot be fixed. Just a word of warning, just leave the screws to the last step.
3. It says you can put the baskets in any order, but keep physics in mind when putting it together. Don't put a basket too high that you can accidently 'pull' the caddy and try to put the majority of the weight (the largest basket) on the bottom. Test out different items and make sure the one that holds your scrub is high enough from the basket below it before locking it in place.I finally tried to get organization in my bathrooms and I saw this shower caddy and looked forward to getting 2. One for each bathroom. I am so disappointed. I put up the first one and in less than 2 hours, the basket that holds the facecloth fell off of the tension bar. Now mind you that the facecloth was dry so there was no weight at all on it. When it fell of course it fell in the tub and left a big chip in the tub. It was a bit pricey and I do not mind paying if it is made with good quality. I still have yet to put up the second one.This shower caddy became a rusty mess one month after living in a lightly used shower! This was a very expensive caddy, so I invested even more money and time trying to save it by scrubbing off rust with chemicals and coating the darn thing in boat wax, as per the suggestion of several websites. (Boat and Airplane Wax. Yep. Should come in handy after I throw the caddy out the window, sending it flying) I still can't believe I did all that...and STILL the rust came back!! I'll never purchase an InterDesign item again. It is shameful that they charge so much for something so cheaply made. I've never purchased an item like this online before. I did it to save some money. If I'd bought this in a store, the return process would've been easy.
