Umbra Zen Towel Hook
The main problem I see with this hook is that two pieces (since it's the type of hook that hides the screws) are connected at the BOTTOM. Therefore, the outside piece (the part you can see) of the hook is not even touching the wall at the top because it's falling off the wall. I have screwed everything in as tight as I could and this is still an issue. Part of the problem may be that the towel I hang on the wall is heavy but I still feel like this hook is poorly designed. I now hang something lighter on it but the damage is already done and the hook is permanently looking like it's going to fall of the wall. Now I have two giant holes in the wall and I need to either get a new hook that completely covers up the damage or just forget it altogether and hang a picture or something up in it's place.This hook was exactly what I needed in my bathroom, but discovered the anchor hardware it came with was not sturdy enough to keep it flush to the wall. It made a great difference once I went to the hardware store and bought a box of my own anchors for $2. I reset the hook with the new anchors and all was good!Purchased this for our newly renovated bathroom, for the towel by the sink. I wish I'd gotten the ring towel holder for a few more dollars because this one is so small, it is completely covered by the towel. It looks nice and works fine, but I wish I could see it more often!We ordered several of the "Zen" bath accessories for our new master bath. We were looking for something that was a little different than the usual stuff that you find at Hope Depot. They hooks are especially attractive and hold bath towels really well. I actually wish that we had not gotten towel rings for the handtowels, but had used the these hook instead.This looks good but was a little tricky to put up. The little screw you have to use an (included) allen wrench on was tricky to get in. Made my hand cramp up.
