Customer Reviews for Gatco Channel 18 in. Towel Bar in Chrome

It falls off the wall constantly. I've tried it with the screws on top and with the screws on the bottom. I've tightened it till my hands hurt, and left it slightly looser thinking maybe I tightened it too much. But the slightest tug forward or slightly off to the side pulls it off the wall. I hate this thing.

Products met my expectations. Easy to install and it looks really good.

It's a towel rod. Looks like the picture, matches the dimensions, showed up on time. Bam! Towel Rod.

Except for tightening the pin, which is always a chore, the bar installed easily.

Easy to install, looks great!

The installation was very easy.

This is (in my opinion) an elegant series of bath accessories and priced reasonably. We installed these on a 3-apartment renovation and I'd use them again.

Sturdy, well-made, and beautiful contemporary style. Bar detachable from end pieces and can be cut to fit.

Wish it came with a wall template to make mounting easier - but a great product!!

Nice product for the price. One of the 1 star review complained of the bar falling off easily, but if you look at the picture, the wall bracket had been installed backward so the taper was outward facing. Off course the bar would fall off if it was installed this way. Install it the right way and it holds well. It looks very nice and is a very good value.

I selected the Gatco Channel towel bar & accessories because I thought they'd match the new vanity I had also just purchased. It worked out perfectly and looks great! Could've happier with the results!!

This is a very well machined piece of metal. Nothing cheap or poorly detailed, the chrome is lustrous, all the parts fit well. It feels luxurious & expensive, but is very reasonably priced. It's hard to tell just by viewing small photos on a computer screen if something is well made, but this towel is simply a very classy high quality piece. Highly recommended.

Item difficult to get on and keep on wall plate. Nice look to item, but overall we were afraid the item would not stay put.

Bought the towel bar and toilet paper holder after checking out many other models. Very happy with the modern look and high quality appearance/feel. The towel bar can theoretically be shortened but it would need to be a very clean cut since the ends of the bar are visible.

I used the Gatco Channel suite of bathroom accessories throughout our new home. The quality is very good for the price. The pieces are well finished and feel "heavy" unlike most low priced options. All pieces are easy to install. Installation can be done with a screwdriver, though I would suggest having a drill to make things easier and to drill pilot holes. I had one issue with a defective mounting bracket (1 Piece of the 20 or so ordered). I called Gatco and they shipped me a replacement mounting bracket (plus 2 additional) at no charge. The customer service was excellent.

This works perfectly in our 2nd bathroom, it is sturdy, the chrome is nice and shiny, and the design is subtle and doesn't look cheap.

I needed bathroom fixtures to go with my new bathroom renovation and match my Hansgrohe shower system. These towel bars go very well with the modern look.

I have a small bathroom that desperately needs towel space. This is one piece of the puzzle. It looks great and because I could add individual pieces with the same finish, I'm pretty happy right now. I'll update the review once the bathroom reno is complete and the pieces have been installed.

I ordered this towel bar because it matches my Schlage brand satin nickel straight lever style door handles VERY well, and is reasonably priced. I was surprised that it can be installed as a single piece, not the typical two wall mounts with bar fitting in between - which is nice, and it has a very solid feel to it, typically a mark of quality if heavier/thicker material is used. If anything can be improved on it is the common hollow wall anchors that sit just slightly above the wall surface, which in turn lifts the base of the towel bar just slightly above the wall surface, so it does not seat tightly to the wall. It seats tightly only to its own bracket. This is a minor detail, but one I'd like to see designed into the product . How hard can it be?! Otherwise, an excellent choice if it suits your design style.

I bought the toilet paper holder plus a towel bar for each of my two bathrooms. They are always a pain to install with the teeny screws but they look awesome. I also like the notch at the end of the TP holder that keeps the roll from sliding off.

The Channel bathroom set has a very nice modern look to it. We purchased the toilet paper roll, the bathroom hook, and the 30 inch double bar set. We like all of them except the double bar set. They didn't design the double bars with enough space between the bars.

Easy assembly, directions helpful, very satisfied.

The bars were well designed and the directions were helpful allowing easy assembly. Overall I'm very satisfied with the product and the value.

It looked very nice but the quality is not good. Returned it

I was very happy with this and the matching toilet paper holder I purchased. I love the way it looks on its own without any towel hanging from it. Very good buy for the money.
