Kraus KEA-14437CH 600mm Aura Bathroom Towel Bar

Beautiful bathroom towel. My review is about how it look and feel. I haven't installed yet. I had ordered another bathroom towel by delta and it looked so cheap. This is a second kraus piece that I purchase. They both look like that are well built. They are heavy, shine and sturdy, Again, I did not used but I am confident the piece will last.

High quality, strong and beautiful for a fraction of the price of the Swiss brand it’s copying.

Excellent quality and look. It feels very sturdy and heavy and the chrome plating is wonderful. Easy installation with a little know how.

We purchased 2 Kraus Aura towel bars for our recent master bath rennovation. Admittedly, I liked the look and feel of the fixture and I wasn't able to find any photos of the mounting brackets, screws, etc. We've always hung our own towel bars, EMTEK, Restoration hardware, Delta, Moen, and now Kraus. Restoration Hardware mounting hardware is pretty awful, but we discovered Kraus mounting hardware is even worse.The problem with this is the mounting bracket (see photo)1. Screw holes are just 3/4" apart,2. There are only 2 holes,3. Junky plastic anchors,4. The holes are HORIZONTAL only, with no vertical support.5. Note: the mounting bracket in the instructions looks slightly different than the hardware we received with the package.6. No mounting template for the DIYer.I've posted photos of the mounting hardware and installation instructions. Hope this helps someone out there avoid what we just went through last Saturday. Plus, now we have lovely drywall holes and damage to repair now. Grrrr...Details:Each mounting bracket has only 2 horizontal holes about 3/4" apart. The included anchors are the cheapest plastic anchors you can find. We knew we were in for a struggle, but we liked the towel bar, so we gave it a shot. We tried a couple of the plastic anchors - but they proved to be as junky as they looked. So off to Home Depot for metal threaded anchors. Because we'd already tried the plastic anchors, we went with slightly larger metal anchors. We also grabbed a couple of Togglers from Lowe's.Because the holes in the mounting bracket are so close to each other, the Toggler's are too large for the bracket, so we went with the metal threaded drywall anchors.Once, we mounted the brackets securely, we used the included wrench to tighten the towel bar to each of the mounts. Both towel bars tipped forward on their puny little mounting brackets - even without any towels. They were "secure" but they rattled and moved on the mounts with the slightest touch. We removed the towel bars and checked the mounts were secure, but they have the slightest tendency to learn forward. We believe this is because they have no vertical support. We remounted the towel bars, same problem. These are both going back.We did (briefly) consider drilling holes into the mounting hardware, but (1) the mounting bracket is very small, (2) resulting in the screws being too close to each other, (3) which will cause issues with the drywall integrity, and (4) it's much easier to return this crappy towel bar we've come to hate and just search for another one with a more thoughtfully engineered mounting bracket.So, we'll need to repair the drywall holes we made attempting to install the terrible Kraus mounting brackets. I will never attempt to install a bracket this poorly engineered again. The time and frustration is just not worth it.BTW: We selected the EMTEK Modern Bath Hardware - and were very pleased with the very thoughtfully designed mounting hardware, three hole mounting bracket and a POST, including metal threaded anchors and gaskets. Installation was a snap, though I wish EMTEK would include a template for their towel bars. We also picked up the EMTEK robe hooks, toilet paper roll holder and towel rings.

Solid piece. Nice shine to the finish. Ample to hang two bath towels

very solid piece - you can tell my holding it that is a quality product - as are the other accessories that match

Looks fabulous and is substantial.

Love the look, feel, and really adds to the final bathroom decor.
