I have had these hooks for a long time - can't remember, but maybe 8-9 years - since our remodel. I put cheaper ones downstairs, and they have been breaking off. These haven't budged. Also, I have less trouble with towels falling off these than the cheaper slim ones. I love the look of these hooks. We have a modern country pottery barn looking house, and bought a few of these in brushed nickel. I found one spare I bought, just in case, in a closet. Almost ten years later, I haven't needed to replace any. Since they are still making them, I'm going to replace my cheap ones downstairs with these.
Pros: Durable, Good Use of Space, Looks Great
