Venturi 24 in. Towel Bar in Spot Defense Brushed Nickel

It does look great! Clean lines & modern looking. Yes, the bars are STURDY. I purchased the 18" & 24" towel bars AND a toilet paper holder. EASY INSTALL! It took me 1/2 hr to install all three items. I went slow/ just took my time. . What I like about the product: 1. Easy install! NO Allen wrench. Pfister gives you a diagram to place on the wall so you do NOT have to measure the spacing in between the ends of the bar. After I taped the paper where I wanted the bars, I used a level(er) to make sure it was not crooked. 2. Once I drilled the holes, screwed down the anchors, the BARS SNAPPED IN PLACE. . I've had the bars up for over a month. THEY ARE WORTH THE MONEY.

It was easy to assemble, sturdy, good fit and finish.

I thought the "snap on" design was innovative, so I went with it. I installed the toilet paper holder and the 18" towel bar. First, the installation is a massive pain because of the screw holes being diagonal instead of in a straight line. Then, the anchors they include are WOOD anchors that look very similar to drywall anchors but are NOT DRYWALL ANCHORS--a detail not made obvious anywhere on the box and only discovered after one side of the towel bar completely ripped out of the wall leaving a messy hole. Then, the only way to get the other side of the towel bar off the wall (so I could repair and repaint the torn holes) was to pull it out, anchors and all, leaving more ripped up holes. At that point, I repaired the holes, primed, and repainted. Normally, I would have removed the toilet paper holder (same wall) in order to get a clean paint job done, but I was just too over it to want to rip more holes and do more repairs, so I left it installed and painted around it. I've come to realize I should have just bit the bullet and taken a chance on removing it because I'm going to use a completely different brand of towel rods (that have normal installation and come with drywall anchors) and I want them all to match. So, I'll muster the patience soon to do that. Bottom line, good in theory, TERRIBLE in execution. Avoid.

Not good, not much else to say about it...

These towel bars look great and are a great match for the same design faucets BUT one of screws came loose in the plaster wall and because there is no little screw to remove the bracket, there is no way to get to the screws holding the bracket to the wall. Because one of the screws is loose you can't use the click-lock system to uninstall without tearing the whole thing loose from the wall, which is what I had to do. So ended up patching the holes, new primer and paint. So a 10 minute job turns into three hours. I can't recommend this product because you will need to readjust them during the product's lifetime.

The bars look gorgeous but the mechanism to install them is not tge best. They call for 3/16 for the holes in drywall and as soon as you wabt to snap the bars in place, the thing comes out with anchor and all. I would prefer a more traditional instalation method or something that does break the walls as much. I had to use bigger anchors and screwes to put mine together.

I installed the plates on the wall and when I tried to install the bars they wouldn't lock and the effort destroyed the wall.
