The towel rail without drilling is packaged with great care to ensure that it is optimally protected during transportation. The sturdy cardboard box provides a reliable layer of protection to ensure that the product arrives at its destination undamaged. Despite the avoidance of unnecessary packaging waste, the use of plastic film could be considered critical for some consumers.
The product packaging contains the individual parts of the towel rail (two bars and two holders) as well as two 3M adhesive pads. In addition, the illustrated instructions for use are written in German and impress with clear wording to ensure problem-free installation.

We subjected the Lobux towel rail without drilling to an extensive practical test to assess its installation, functionality and suitability for everyday use.
Installing the towel rail is extremely simple and can be done by anyone. First, the surface on which the product is to be mounted is cleaned and the mounting height marked accordingly. The holders and rods are then put together and the protective film on the adhesive strips is removed. Once attached to the wall, the bracket is pressed firmly into place for at least 60 seconds. After a waiting time of 24 hours, the towel rail is ready for use and can be loaded with up to 10 kg.
The towel rail adheres reliably to various surfaces such as metal, plastic, glass and tiles. Thanks to its space-saving design, it can be flexibly installed in various places in the bathroom. Hanging and removing towels is easy and cleaning is simple with a damp wipe. Thanks to the stainless steel, the product is also suitable for damp rooms.
The customer currently has the choice between the colors“stainless steel” and“black” to visually adapt the towel rail to the individual bathroom furnishings. Overall, the towel rail impresses with its simple installation, versatile application options and high-quality workmanship. It is ideal for everyday use in the bathroom and meets the requirements for functionality and design.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.3 stars. In some cases, the adhesive came off after a short time. On the other hand, the simple installation, the adhesive holder and the elegant design are positively highlighted. In our practical test, we were able to confirm the adhesive’s holding power if the surface was properly cleaned beforehand. For this reason, the manufacturer will include cleaning cloths containing alcohol in its next batch.
Prices of over €100 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €13 . The towel rail without drilling from LOBUX® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of € 37.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
