I'm taking off a star because: 1) The instructions say to drill 1/4" holes for the anchors in sheet rock, but that is too big. The anchors just spun freely when I tried to screw in the screws. I was able to keep one from turning with a vise grip, but I had to use a different anchor for the other. 2) Unlike every other towel rack I've ever owned, the set screws use a hex key (Allen wrench) instead of having a slot head. That makes them harder to install since the wrench needs to be taken out after every half turn, and also means I have to keep track of the included hex wrenches if I ever want to take the towel rod down. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good towel bar for the money *by A***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2016* It is a poo paper holder. Simple really.As it is kind of the cheaper version of the Delta Lahara range, you do have to expect a few corners cut.The chrome is not perfectly smooth, it does show some surface contamination from the plating process.The chrome is not very thick, it will wear with time.The weight is good, these are pretty heavy pieces, so the castings are solid.I would strongly recommend measure 3 or 4 times before you mount the brackets on the walls, I did twice & I still have more slack in the rod than I would like to have as the holes were about 1/8" too far apart on the 2 wall brackets. My fault more than Franklin's.The wall mounting brackets are sound & mount easily. Use good screws with the right kind of screws & anchors for the wall substrate. If you don't you will have bad day & be unhappy. That is not Franklin's fault, it is user error.I have never been given anything for free from Amazon as apparently I am neither a prodigious enough reviewer, purchaser or just not funny enough to be worth anyone wanting to give me anything, so my reviews are as honest as you get.... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value for money *by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2019* This oil-rubbed bronze towel bar was under $10 yet, installed, looks like any of the higher-end brands. Its profile is modern and slim; it fits two folded hand towels perfectly. One thing to pay attention to when installing is the towel bar itself. If you don't mind it 'rolling' when you put your towels on there then install away, but if it bugs you that it rolls, i.e. is not fixed solid and makes a 'rolly noise' when you pull at the towels then when installing the towel bar into the two end pieces use some tape around the bar ends to 'lock' the bar in place so that it doesn't roll when you pull the towels off.Can't believe we got this for such a low price and free shipping.
