The brackets are ceramic...correct? What is the towel bar itself made of...would I be able to cut it down?

The brackets themselves are metal and screw into the wall. Then the two ends are ceramic and slide onto the metal brackets. The actual bar in between the ceramic ends is made of a hard plastic but could be cut down with the right saw.

The brackets are ceramic. The bar is plastic - but a hard brittle plastic. If I were cutting it down I would tape the area I was cutting to avoid splintering. I would also make sure I had a sharp blade. But yes you can cut it down.

I guess the brackets are ceramic or porcelain. The towel bars I got from Menards were plastic or resin and I was able to cut them easily.

The brackets are ceramic. The towel bar is hard plastic and you can easily cut it down with any type of saw.

The brackets on mine are metal, there is a plastic ring to protect your legs (I assume) from the hardware. They are right under the bracket, they serve no purpose other than safety though. It is very strong and steady. If it is plastic on yours I would call them, and complain. I wouldn't think plastic would last at all.

Thanks for the response. What type of material is the top ring? Could I cut and still be able to keep its functionality? Or is it something that would have to weld back together, etc?Sorry I just fiberglass. Thanks again.

Towel rack could be replaced if you have a spring loaded end or adjustable bar

I'm going to guess probably. My molding is slightly damaged from use. I would imagine damage would be worse without any molding. I probably should have put a towel or something between the bar and the molding to prevent wear.

I can't answer with 100% accuracy but I did buy them and they have a adhesive strip that I belief you could remove. They look so nice and are strong enough to hold any towel.

I'm not quite sure what you mean - do you mean a matching hook, like a robe hook for the back of the door? Or a hook that will hang on the towel bar? I wouldn't recommend putting hooks ON the bar - it'll easily hold the weight of a single towel, but its not a heavy duty bar and won't support a huge amount of weight. If you are searching for other matching hardware like a robe hook just search Moen Inspirations on Amazon and you'll find it.

Yes. I would suggest that you varnish/seal the wood first though. Mine are inside but the damp hand towel caused it to get a little moldy. I unscrewed the brackets, sanded it and added a coat of sealer. No more problem.

The entire item is chrome. There is white double stick tape for the flat surface where a shelf will sit. The tape doesn't have to be used but it is definitely recommended o if your shelf is glass you could purchase your own clear double stick tape or adhesive. I used corian for my shelf so I used the white tape that came with it. I really like the brackets & looked for a few months. :)

Hi, I did not use the brackets as I nailed the organizer on the wall beside my bed for ease of storing things close to me as I am on long-term bed rest. However, I am looking at the brackets and they are steel and fit over my bathroom door but cannot be adjusted larger or smaller. Hope this helps. Thx kg

Bought this for a house we sold. It is quite small. If you want a really nice towel bar, I would recommend buying one from pottery barn.

I do not have a towel bar, I have a shower caddy that hangs inside the shower. The one shown is a towel bar that hangs outside the shower.

I ordered 4 sets of the ORB for my house that we're building!! YES, the towel bar is 24" long. I haven't done a review on it as we haven't had the chance to install these yet. From the look and touch of this, it feels VERY cheaply made. I kept 1 and sent the rest back. I'll order additional if that one works out for us. I guess you get what you pay for (at least in this case).

It is a finished piece so I wouldn't cut it. You *could* cut from the bottom. I purposes this differently than as sold, so I can't answer the hardware question.

I would think the Scotch Permanent Mounting Tape would work well for this purpose. I understand that with ceramic tile, you don't want to go through the hassle of drilling holes and sinking masonry screws. The tape will stick extremely well to the ceramic tile, and it should do OK with the plastic (or whatever) that your paper towel holder is made of. But be sure everything is squeaky clean ... use alcohol or a degreasing cleaner to remove any traces of oil or other substances (even if it seems the surfaces are clean). Since you'll be tugging on the paper towels, I'd advise putting as long a strip of tape as your holder will accommodate. This will give you extra holding power. Also, with any double-sided tape, I've found that it's best to (1) press the tape firmly in place for 60 seconds or so, and (2) let the tape "cure" for awhile before you put stress on it. The bond seems to grow stronger with time. Thus, this waiting period gives it a chance to achieve maximum adhesion before any demands are made on it.

The towel bar is put in during self assemble so in theory you could take it a part to replace it with a wooden dowel.

I don't remember exactly where the screws were in my package, but you need 2 screws to secure the fixture. What you need depends on where you are mounting the piece. Included with my purchase were screws and concrete anchors. I was installing on a stud wall, so used the included screws w/o the anchors, but made sure to anchor in a stud. My guess is the were 2" long #8 screws. Take a look at the mounting hardware, I think you will need pan head screws, but don't remember and am not at home just now. I would not recommend installing using drywall anchors, I just don't think many would support the towel bar and weight of damp towels. As for instructions. I'd think you should be able to find the manual on-line somewhere. I used 2 screws to install. Mount the brass octagon to the wall (it should include a rubber gasket around the outside). Place the round cover on the bar. Slide the bar onto the wall mount and tighten the two hex screws on the bar. Then simply slide the round cover over the wall mount -- it should just be a friction fit due to the gasket around the wall mount.
