Essentials 18 Inch Towel Bar, Starlight Chrome

Grohe towel bars are some of the best. The finish and surface quality is great.The use of the double sided tape is perfect for easy and precise mounting.What's great is that you can also take them apart to flip the logo orientation and in some rare case to the bar shorter if you need. It can be done with confidence that one can reassemble to perfection.They use a plastic piece for holding the bar to the wall. I'm not typically for overuse of plastic on bathroom fixture. But this is done to make the mounting much easier, without loosing the quality. Once mounted it's plenty secure and looks prefect.

Well worth the extra money! The Grohe towel bar feels solid, is a good weight and has a high quality look and feel. The installation was pretty easy. The heavy duty plastic holders were easy to screw to the wall, and seem very sturdy. The towel holder also matches my Grohe faucet and shower system. Good looking, sturdy, and well made. Very highly recommended. Tom Feddor, Chicago, IL.

Definitely worth the money, not really hard to install, just use the backing that it comes with., this will help with leveling of towel bar.

This is high quality and looks great, as you would expect from Grohe. That said, the dimensions in the picture are wrong! It is 23 5/8 center to center, not 25 5/8.

Like other Grohe products that I have purchased, I am very happy with the quality and design of the installed product. However the installation is unnecessarily difficult because of bad design of the anchor bolts.The sleeves for the drywall anchor bolts have no lip on them (see picture). So when you slid them in the wall and push the screw into it, they push through the wall. If they had a small lip on them this would not happen. Since I was using a 15/64 drill bit (ever-so-slightly smaller than the 6 mm recommended), I know the problem was NOT that the holes that I was drilling were too big.I compensated for this by very gently screwing in the screws for a few turns so that the plastic sleeves expand a little before applying much pressure. A pair of these were not cooperating with this method so I had to grasp the sleeves with some needle nose plyers to allow the screw to go in a few rotations so that the sleeve was set. But this should not be necessary.

I had remodeled my bathroom with grohe fixtures which are great. Went as far as adding towel bar and to holder. Towel bar was over $300 at plumbing store and it was made in a complex manner. Fit together in a few pieces needing to be tightened by an Allen wrench frequently. You guess it lost the little screw. I found this inexpensive grohe bar and it’s great!Very easy to install, solid and nice chrome finish. Wish I had never washed 300 for the matching accessories!

Easy to install. Per other reviews, I used different wall anchors which required drilling and placement before applying the sticker back piece to the wall. I can see how the anchors provided would go straight into the wall because they do not have a lip to catch on the wall. I measured several times and then marked the holes, drilled, put the anchors in flush to the wall and applied the sticker back circle piece. I (the wife) did it all myself. So it’s easy. You’ll need a 1/4” drill bit which is the closest to 6mm.

I have installed several brands of bathroom accessories over the past 24 years and have always found Grohe to be the highest quality. The fastener process is designed for accuracy by having an adhesive strip that allows for accurate placement of the accessory and placement of the screws. Please be aware the towel bar is a bit shallow, meaning if you have really thick towels that are wet, your wall will get wet also. I recommend sizing the towel bar so the length doesn’t require the towel to be folded onto itself over the bar.
