Hello DON and thank you for the feedback you posted on the Home Depot website. Thank you for bringing to our attention the incorrect measurement shown for the Moen YB2824ORB Eva Towel Bar. The Moen YB2824ORB Eva Towel Bar is a 24” towel bar; when installed and measured from outside edge to outside edge, it is 26”. We are working with our friends at Home Depot to have this updated.
