Reviews of Polder Bathroom Wall Shelf With 2 towel Racks, chrome

1.) Very Good unit at an incredible price

First of all, completely disregard the review about the the unit "coming apart" with bad "soldering". There are absolutely NO WELDS or SOLDER points on this unit at all. If you tightly screw the shelves onto the back bracket, it is impossible for this unit to "collapse". If it falls off the wall (and it could ONLY do so in one big piece), it's because you didn't use the proper fasteners into whatever type wall you have (you may need different screw fasteners than what's included in the box, depending on thickness of wall board, etc.). If this fell off somebody's wall, then they probably have no clue of what a toggle bolt is.

This is NOT "flimsy". It is made to ONLY hold towels. The thin round bars on the large shelf are made to be loose and "roll" (kinda like pulling your towel off a conveyor belt).

And, because this unit is so inexpensive, you might order two complete units just to get an extra "big/deep" shelf. The shelf placements are interchangeable on the back wall brackets.

2.) Great product, great price

I bought two of these so that I could use a shelf from one to replace one of the towel bars of the other. That way I made a two-shelf, one towel bar rack (which is what I wanted) and had a 3-towel bar rack to give to my daughter. The installation (using the included anchors) was easy and the rack is extremely sturdy. I'd been looking for a shelf/rack like this for quite awhile and am amazed by the inexpensive price and superior quality.

I have purchased this time before from a different manufacturer for almost twice the cost. While the other one was slightly better looking quality-wise, it wasn't twice as good so I'd say this was a great value.

4.) Best towel bar for the money

I love, love it, love it. It can hold 2 towels to dry while the extras sit neatly on the shelf. This was the best buy, most practical, functional and looks great, too!

Item looks exactly like photo, easy to assemble and mount on the wall. As for the two critical reviews... I have *NO* earthly idea how and/or why anyone would have problems putting this thing together as anything but SOLID. How you can screw up something SO easy, I have no clue. I am very happy that I did not let those two poor reviews influence my purchase at all.
I put this up in TWO bathrooms and am thrilled with it! I am definitely considering a third one in my half bathroom.

At first I was not sure if it was going to work in the kids bathroom but it is working just fine so far. Very practical wall shelf for the bathroom. The top rack is a little hard to use if the towels are not folded properly. It looks great in the bathroom and the kids like it.

Shelf is perfect for my needs. Plenty of room on top shelf to put needed things--wash cloths, baskets for shampoo, conditioner, etc.

8.) For the price of a mere 25 bucks, this does deserve 5 stars...

I have to say that I am sometimes a little stumped why people fail to compare apples to apples. What I mean with that is that folks will rate something 1 stars even though the item delivers COMPLETELY what it promises and is 15 to 20% of the price of the items they compare it to.
You'll see some of the low ratings on here with complaints about how the item looks... it looks EXACTLY as depicted, and yet it get criticized. Its chrome, like other chrome racks I have seen at BBaB stores yet it now gets listed as 'cheap' chrome.
And then they claim it is not sturdy because you cannot do pull up on the thing...
I just don't understand the purpose other than wanting to ding a budget item becuase you really wanted a handcrafted Kohler for the same price. Sorry had to get that off my chest.

About this item:
You get it as an assembly whereby the shelves are screwed to the wall mounts. All in all you need to HANDTIGHT crew in 6 screws. Then you use a level the hark it perfectly straight against your wall, and as other have pointed out, you then determine if you need concrete, drywall, wood or whatever fasteners to hang it to the wall.
Once that is done those 6 screws you put in have no way to come loose and you can start putting towels on there.

We sometimes have 4 or 5 wet towels hanging from it in the AM: not a problem. We stack 8 to 10 towels (fresh dry ones) on top: no problem! It does not stoop, droop , bend or sag. I.e. this item is a adequate simple-styled towel rack that looks just fine in any bathroom. See the pictures we sent in.

Also note that there are no welds, soldfer points or what have you so some of the other reviewers have it wrong... did they make that stuff up?!

I guess the only down side I can figure, but that is compensated for in the price (mare than) is that this is not a single piece, ready to wall mount but you have to assemble.

As far as the design and chrome job: looks absolutely fine up close and you cannot see the real difference with a standard hotel rack.
Do not expect a stainless steel futuristic looking Kohler type of rack. Expect to shell out well over 100 for that.

This is 25 dollars and just fine for my towel needs. Have a look at the pics if you do not believe me.

You see products like this for over $100.00 on the web, but they're all more or less the same. Strongly anchored to the wall, you have three towel racks that are offset so wet towels don't touch each other and an airy shelf to store folded towels.
I have had one in the master bathroom for nearly ten years and it still looks new, I recently bought another one for the hall bath and there has been no compromise in quality over the years.

I have two of these shelves in my current home. One was a hand-me-down from my sister and it is over 10 years old. It still looks as good as new. This is an excellent shelf for the guest bathroom where you want to make sure there are adequate towels on hand. We are now getting two more for our vacation home. I put the narrower rack in the middle for washcloth storage.

This is a great unit for the price. I would warn that it's easy to get the two bars with screw holes misaligned. Make sure your marked screw holes are perpendicular with the floor before drilling (a level tool can help).

The Polder wall shelf with 2-racks has a nice contemporary appearance. It was easy to put together, but it does take a little effort in order to mount it perfectly level (especially if you're alone). I used different wall anchors than the ones provided b/c I had better anchors available. Overall, the shelf/rack works very well, allowing enough room for extra towels if you have guests that need to shower. I am happy with the purchase and the price was very low compared to other similar units.

15.) It's a towel rack

Sorry for how cynical this review may come out, but having read the lower star reviews, it seems the people were expecting more than what they got for the money.
Let's call this what it is, and inexpensive towel rack. Notice I said inexpensive and not cheap. Cheap has connotations of not good, not a good product for the price. This is a good product for the price. It does what you expect it to do, hold your towels. If you want something that assembles itself and hangs itself on the wall, this is NOT for you. If you want one that will dry you off and rehang the towel itself, this is NOT for you. If you want a place to put your towels so they aren't on the floor, this IS the unit for you. I wouldn't want to do any competitive gymnastics on it, but it'll do me just fine for hanging a towel or two in the bathroom.

Product is sturdy and comes with all the needed parts (including those needed for hanging in challenging environments) for assembly and hanging. Did have a couple of small pitted spots on the bars. Would have loved to get this product in a polished nickel finish. Would have also liked to purchase additional bathroom accessory items to match, i.e.; toothbrush holder, soap dish, toilet paper holder, and possibly a small (12-18 inch) and or larger towel bar.

17.) Exactly what we needed.
Reviewed by: Sailer/Atty Van Nuys, California USA

Easy to install. We had a tight space and it made good use of the space. The shelf adds a lot. The only draw back is that the lower rack is closer to the wall and the upper towel completely hides it. Also, if we use thick towels the back towel will fall when we pull off the front towel. We are considering taking the rack down and making the upper towel rack the one closer to the wall so that that back towel is exposed. and can be grabbed easily.

18.) Quick to assemble

Arrived very fast after order. Nicely chromed. Easy to put well machined parts together. Only a few minutes. They also give you everything you need to install on the wall.

Good deal for the money.

Good product for good price. There are no solderings or welds, the unit will not come apart as other people mention.
The plugs that come with it are not well suited for a sheet rock wall (probably excellent for a brick wall). I used other plugs and screws and the unit is now firmly attached to the wall.

As advertised--easy to install, sturdy and reasonably attractive. We live in a coastal community and the chroming is starting to show a few signs of corrosion so we'll be watching that. Overall, excellent value for the price.

Ours came apart after light residential use, approx. 24 months or so from date of installation...the bars are not particularly secure. We recommend a model with better soldering.

22.) Not as Good as it Looks - Could be better
Reviewed by: Jennifer Akiyama
Rating:
This product has 2 serious design flaws - it's flimsy AND the upper towel bar (not the shelf) should stick out more.
I bought this based on it's great looks and the reviews. However, I must go against the crowd on this one. I would have paid $10 for the exact same thing in a thicker gauge steel. Yes i did mount them securely with the proper wall anchors. They flex more than I expect out of a towel bar and they have a very cheap, hollow sound.
I bought this in place of a double towel bar. The upper towel bar sticks out only 1" more than the lower, hence the towels are close together and take longer to dry.
It still looks good, I just don't know how long they will last or it's flimsiness drives me to rip it out from the wall.
I would not buy them again.

23.) Can't be exposed to moisture

Will work as long as you are going to install it to a wall and not in the shower. It will start to rust if exposed to moisture in the shower.
It is only plated with chrome.

This is a flimsy unit, I'm sure we'll be buying a new one before long. The installation was okay but the screws attaching the shelves to the wall pieces kept coming loose. I was afraid of tightening them too much since the inserts felt like they were slipping. Not suitable for rentals or any place where kids are very active, any more weight than a few towels and the whole thing will probably collapse.

25.) cheesy and cheap

I have to say I was disappointed by this item. It came as a kit I had to assemble even know the ad was for an assembled item. The holes did NOT line up!!! We had a heck of a time mounting it with the whole thing a little wonky. If it was a $5 item, this would've been fine, but it's a little to expensive for what you get. Sorry but I do not recommend this item.
