Customer Reviews for MOEN Ashville 18 in. Towel Bar in Mediterranean Bronze

Easy assembly, looks good!

I love this--it looks so classy! The towel bar was pretty easy to install too (since I used the holes that were drilled for my old towel bar).

we put up whole Ashville-Moen collection in our master bath. Love the look! Hardware so sturdy and solid!

Great

Item was everything we expected and more!!

Solid product with very nice finish. I like the way the brackets install. Used the provided template to drill the holes. Using two screws in the wall for each bracket makes for a strong towel bar. I also installed the TP holders which are very nice. No more spring loaded bar to replace the roll.

This towel bar looks great and was easy to install.

The towel bar was very easy to install and it looks great.

Great value for the money, it is very well made. The installation instructions are spot on and the template makes drilling the holes very easy. Installed very quickly.

The piece has a very nice finish and the package included all of the mounting hardware required including the allen wrench required to fasten the end holders. The bar itself is lightweight but I assume that it is made of high quality, strong materials based on my past experience with Moen quality. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty so if you do have a failure, based on past experience with Moen's excellent customer service, I would expect that they would replace it at no charge. My only beef is that the design results in the towel bar spinning when you pull a towel off of the bar or put one on the bar which makes an irritating rattling noise. There are 3 raised ridges inside of the end holders so if Moen had put some slots in the end of the bar that mated with the raised ridges this would have prevented the spinning & noise. Seems like it would have been an easy fix on their part. I had some spare rubber faucet washers laying around which fit inside of the end pieces which stopped the spinning & noise which was an easy work around. Perhaps Moen could include some rubber washers in their installation kit. The mounting template was OK to work with but since I only had 2 hands I needed to tape 1 end to the wall while positioning the 2nd end of the template. If you use tape make sure you use something like the blue painters tape to avoid the possibility of lifting the paint from the wall when you remove the tape.

Looks great and easy to install, Moen has good products.

This has a template on paper to make the holes easier to drill. Start with a small drill, tape to the wall and spend some time checking you are level. I found a stud where not expected. This made the distance between the wall attachments about 1/16th too close for the towel pole. This worked out with a little filing and rasping to shorten the pole.

These towels bars are great in every way, especially if you have other products from the Moen Ashville line.

I chose these towel bars for their handsome looks but didn't realize how well made they are until I got them home. The matching toilet tissue holder has a flip up bar for the roll rather than one of those spring loaded parts. It's a very cool design. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Easy to install. Good instructions no tools required

Didn't like the looseness of the bars when inserted into the end pieces.The quality is a little lacking in that area.Other than that,it has a nice finish and easy to install.

Looks great! Matching toilet paper holder and hooks, all chrome... My bathroom SHINES!

Nice looking fixture. The mounts are sturdy but the bar itself is not. It is very hollow and lightweight. It will be best for a hand towel, not a regular bath towel.

Match the other pieces and was easy to install. Priced right.

Unfortunately this one is not. I have now installed 4 of the Moen Ashville towel bars and every one of them was a pain. Please don't get me wrong, the quality and the finish are wonderful. I would have added more stars overall if these and all towel bars in general would not be so finicky to install. I was replacing the builder installed standard cheapo models with these Moens. Good news is the spacing between brackets was/is identical. Bad news is, the Moen mounting brackets use an allen set screw to hold the arms in place and if you do not have the mounting brackets in EXACTLY the right spot there is no room for error and by using an allen set screw, the simple act of turning the set screw turns in to a frustrating waste of time. I wish manufacturers would come up with a new way of making the brackets. I think with this Moen the mounting bracket and lower finial of the arm could be made into one piece which could be attached to the wall securely and then the final finial where the bar is inserted could be screwed into the wall mounted bracket, thus allowing a stronger connection and much easier installation. What should have taken me ten minutes took close to 40 because each time I would set the screw the arm would fall off the mounting bracket because of the tolerances on the inside of the arm. There is a little slot to catch the upper portion of the bracket but because of the way the bracket and the arm fit, there is no "wiggle" room once you start setting the allen screw. Frustrating yes, but the finished product is a nice addition and upgrade to our bathrooms.
