Moen 90 Degree Brushed Nickel 18" Towel Bar

We had this bar installed in our shower about a month ago. Moen was very kind and sent me another when I saw that the chrome plating on the first bar was flawed. I'd be happier with the design if the bar was thicker to facilitate drying. When a towel or wash cloth is hung on it, the bar is so narrow that both sides of the towel/cloth are almost touching and so don't dry well. The ends of the bar also are very chunky, which means the bar itself is shorter than a typical 18" towel bar. It looks nice but I wish the design engineers at Moen had taken functionality more into account.
