Moen YB2886CH Eva Bathroom Hand Towel Ring, Chrome

towel bars are always hard to install but this one is well worth the effort. great look

This is just like my original towel bar and was easy to install.

Looks as advertised and easy install

Beautiful oil rubbed bronze finish on this towel bar.This towel bar mounts with the standard Moen system where you put an anchor in the wall, then screw a round plastic mounting disc to that anchor. Once both round plastic mounting discs are firmly screwed to the wall anchors, you press the entire towel bar assembly onto those two mounting discs until both ends of the towel bar lock in place with a satisfying "click". A very simple and intuitive system that is very secure even when mounted in drywall only.Highly recommend!

Good looking and good quality on the actual hardware, I'm not 100% sold on Moens new plastic mounting base which is concealed behind the towel bar. We are used to using the old metal base plate with small set screws. Now the hook / towel bar snaps onto a plastic mounting plate. One of the hooks wouldn't "snap" & lock into place and the plastic mounting plate finally broke after I tried to adjust it. Amazon did send a replacement but it's a hassle when this is my business. I specialize in kitchen and bath remodels and I'll be anxious to hear feedback from my customers on how durable this new mounting system is.

From reading the other reviews, it seems that many of the problems are due to the included anchor (standard expanding metal molly bolt type). I'm not a fan of these, because once expanded you basically have to drive them through the wall to remove them. Instead of using these anchors, I did myself a favor: I removed the included anchors from the plastic mount and instead used threaded drywall anchors (EZ Ancor 75lb rating, look like big plastic screws, the top flange is exactly the same size as the recess in the mount, and the screws that come with them fit the hole in the mount perfectly). With these installed in the wall, the mounts screw down nice and tight - solid, absolutely no wiggle or play, no worrying about how many turns you need, and I can unscrew these if I ever want to remove them from the wall in the future. (Even though you technically don't have to, I predrilled holes for the anchors to keep them neat.)Note: the 75lb rating plastic anchor splits when the mounting screw is driven in completely. The EZ Ancor line also includes a metal anchor that, like the older plastic model, doesn't split, and is rated at only 45 lbs. Although better than the molly bolts, the non-splitting threaded anchors don't hold nearly as solidly as the splitting ones.)I had mixed results with the "clicking" of the ends to the mounts: with the 24-inch models, all audibly (but quietly) "clicked". The 18-inch models did not (or didn't click loudly enough for me to hear them - the tabs aren't all that big). However, all are very snug fitting, and I'm pretty confident that they'll hold up. Make sure that you triple-check your measurements between centers (18" rack has 18" centers, 24" rack has 24" centers) and that you have the tabs on the mounts on the correct side to match the holes in the end pieces.Overall, a pretty solid design (much better than those cheap setscrew, sheetmetal mount racks that they replaced), and they match the Eva faucets as well.

Purchased this towel bar to match new bathroom fixtures. Solid product material backed by Moen's lifetime warranty if you register it or can provide a receipt if you need to make a warranty claim.

Read lots of reviews about the mounting system of the Eva collection. Ran into the same problems where the mounting bracket seems tight to the wall until you add the fixture and then it seems to become loose. It is a poor design, the bracket should be metal so there's less flex. However, I checked the release clip access hole on the fixture prior to install and found a flat-head screwdriver that matched exactly. This made releasing the fixture after install easy. I had to really crank down on the mounting screws but still had a little flex in the fixture. I think the plastic just allows too much flex. I might put a very small bead of clear caulk where the fixture meets the wall. I think this will stop any flex. Not a deal breaker but I do expect better from Moen. Attractive set with a substandard mounting system.
