 serves the purpose Feb 17, 2009
By Katherine Rylien
This does exactly what it is designed to do, and does it well. In response to the complaint about it being designed for a wide door and moving around when put on one that's not so wide, it does have 2 pre-drilled holes to fasten it to the top of the door. In addition to using these, I trimmed off the excess metal (and it is made of metal, not plastic) with a hacksaw so it would not hamper the door from closing. With these 2 minor modifications it is perfect for hanging one towel and maybe a washcloth. I agree that 3 full-sized towels would be unlikely to dry if all placed on the rack at the same time while damp.

A simple, no tools required, way to expand towel space Oct 12, 2009
By Ripley
This towel rack is a simple way to expand or create towel space without tools or fuss. Apartments never seem to have enough towel rods for more than one person, or they are located in less than optimal locations, so this is a simple way to expand towel space without drilling mounting holes. I received mine as a gift and have been using it for over two years.
The construction is metal, with the exception of the white caps at the ends of each rod. As some have mentioned, the hooks that go over the top of the door are very wide (2 1/8"). I've never had a door wide enough to fill the space; however, I haven't wanted to screw into the door either. My solution was to buy little clear, bumper pads (rubber or polyurethane--not sure which) and stick them to the inner surface of the hooks (to bracket the sides of the door) and behind the bottom corners of the rack. The bumper pads reduce and cushion any shifting. Even with the door open, I haven't had trouble threading on a bath sheet or three, or a combination of towel sizes.
That said, I have taken away one star because--though this has three towel rods--you can really only use two of the towel rods and have your towels dry adequately. I tend to hang my large bath sheet from the top rod and a smaller bath towel from the lowest rod. Both need to be folded in half to fit, so that what I get is much like the product picture (though my top towel is much larger).
Overall, I recommend this product as a simple, no tools required, way to expand towel space. Just keep the dimensions (22.5"H x 17.7"W x 3.7"D) and above limitations in mind when ordering.

 Attractive but not a great fit Nov 09, 2008
By Somerset
Literally, because the over-the-door hooks are made for a wider door and cause the entire unit to move with the door. So make sure you measure your door before you buy.
Also, towels do not dry with this rack. The towels in our house need to be folded in half in order to fit and three folded towels hanging next to each other will remain damp.
So, if you have a bath situation that wouldn't fall under any of the above areas go ahead and buy. It does look nice.

 Tiny rack that doesn't fit over door Oct 05, 2010
By M. Stoops
I was very suprised when this towel rack arrived. It's small. If a towel is folded, it will fit over one of the bars. However, if you want to throw a wet towel on one of the bars to dry, the bar is not wide enough to accomodate it. There are three bars and they are very close together. This just isn't designed very well. It's quite compact. The over-the-door hooks are too wide to fit a standard door as well. There are holes on the back on the hooks, but even if you chose to screw the rack into your door, there would still be a gap. My door won't close all the way with this rack on it. Maybe others won't have this problem, but it's certainly an issue for me. I'm going to continue the search for an over-the-door towel rack that actually accomodates towels. This one is far too small to be of any use.

Perfect Apr 27, 2010
By Alice J. Dorschner
"Allie Mae"
After reading some of the reviews, I was a little skeptical about purchasing this towel rack. Have to say, I have not been disappointed. It fits my door with no problem and is perfect for our spare bathroom. It doesn't move on the door or fall apart like our old one did. AND it's attractive. Very glad I bought it.
