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.

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.

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.
