I almost died paying as much for this as I did, this was well over what I was planning on paying for a 30? double towel bar when I decided this is what I wanted. However, the options out there for this specific of a want are very slim and all generally around this price point or higher. I have no idea why the more mainstream brands do not offer a double bar in this very functional width. At some point it is worth it to just spend the extra money instead of scouring the internet for hours to save a few bucks. I like this one because it looks pretty timeless. My 28? standard bath towels fit perfectly on it unfolded to dry. There is plenty of space between the bars to allow air between the two towels. If you have extremely thick towels or towels wider than 28? you may have a different experience.
I already own other items in this group, and I love them all. Not cheap, but beautiful. I particularly dislike shiny bright silver, so this set suits my taste.
I was looking for a longer set of double towel bars and found this item on myknobs.com. The product had great quality and style, and it looks fabulous in our new bathroom. The brushed nickel matched our Kohler sink faucet, too.
