I selected this towel bar because it was the only modern brushed stainless towel bar I could find that had mounting points exactly 30 inch on center. There are lots of options out there, but it seems most towel bars listed as 30 inch, had 30" clearance between supports, in which case, the mounting holes are a bit wider than 30" apart. I used this to replace an old Moen square rod towel bar that looked dated and was cheap and flimsy. As this bar comes in two pieces, I was somewhat skeptical that it would look good and be sturdy. I'm happy to report that it is very sturdy and looks great with modern, clean lines and no imperfections. The mounting holes are indeed exactly 30" apart, which allowed this to replace the Moen without any need to patch the wall. Mounting was quick and easy. The kit comes with everything required to mount the bar including screws and anchors and the Allen wrench required for the set screws. Once installed this is very sturdy and the seem between the two sections is nearly invisible. There is just under 2-1/2" clearance between the inside of the bar and the wall, which seems standard and matches our other three towel bars. I am very pleased to have found this. It made upgrading our bathroom quick and easy, it is sturdy and looks great, and to top it off, it was very reasonably priced. I consider this an excellent value.
