InterDesign Formbu 18-Inch Towel Bar

InterDesign Formbu 18-Inch Towel Bar, BrushedI recently purchased 4 different bamboo accessories for our bathroom and had small issues with all of them:

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.
