This Delta branded chrome bathroom towel hook is made by the hardware giant Masco (maker of Kraftmaid, Behr, Hasgrohe, Milgard…to name a few of their brands). It is manufactured in China and is constructed of brass with a nice chrome finish. It is attractively designed and will go with most décor.
The mounting bracket is quite different than typical bathroom wall accessories that might use a hidden set-screws. This towel hook has a spring design (see photos) to secure it to the wall. You first mount the spring bracket on the wall. They provide drywall anchors and screws, but in my case I mounted it to the bath door and did not need the anchors (and had to use shorter screws…not provided). You need to make sure the wall bracket is very secure. Then align the bath hook on the spring and push up until it locks in. Once it locks in the hook it is very secure and stronger than the set-screw design. At first I thought it might be difficult to remove….but just push up on it again and you can release the hook from the bracket. Really slick.
At $15 (at the time of this review) it is reasonably priced and looks nice.
About my rating:
5 stars – Exceeds all expectations. Better than the competition in all aspects, design, cost, operation, and support (A+).
4 stars – Nicely done. Better than the competition and solves the problem. (B)
3 stars – Works as expected. Has some shortcomings but gets the job done. Might be short in design, cost, longevity, or support. (C).
2 stars – Falls short of expectations and needs improvement. Pass and look elsewhere. (D)
1 star – Fails miserably. Does not get the job done, might even make things worse. Someone at the company should be fired. (F)
