Beaded Towel Bar by Franklin Brass Review

Tag : zinc hook
Remodeling our bathroom was much easier than remodeling ourkitchen, and I actually enjoyed this project! When it came time toupdate my hardware, all of my finishes were in a brushed chromecolor. My faucets, lighting fixtures, and my towel and toilet paper bars were all purchased in matching chrome finishes. I shopped aroundfor several weeks before setting on the Franklin Brass brand of towel bars, and boy am I glad I found them! This towelbar comes in a brushed satin pewter finish that matches my satinchrome lighting and plumbing fixtures.

Description

Franklin Brass products are actually made by Liberty Hardware Manufacturing Corporation,and are sold in many stores, both brick and mortar as well as online stores. Their towel bars come in both an 18 inch and 24 inch length, I chose their 24 inch, as that is the size I was replacing. This towel bar comes ina box, which says that it's easy to install, and is functional for bath, kitchen, or all over thehome.

Instructions are included for installation, and there are twoplastic molly bolts included with the other mounting hardware,because you are going to have to drill a hole in your wall toinstall this towel bar. The towel bars are made of die cast zinc, and have the brushed chrome finish onthem, but these bars stand apart from the crowd because they have a beaded design on them!

The two circular base sections that cover the mounting hardware on each end of the towel bar have a decorative beading, withdarker coloring in this area, which gives it an antique look. Theends of the towel bar also have this same beading, as well as theportion that extends out from the wall.

Thoughts

I have received so many compliments on my towel bars! Aside fromthe toilet paper holder, they also sell matching towel rings aswell as a double hook ring, and I have all but the towel ring inour bathroom. I looked for a few weeks, and had purchased a setfrom Home Depot that I liked, but when I saw this Franklin Brassset at our local hardware store, I fell in love with it, and it was actually a bit cheaper than the plainer modelfrom Home Depot.
