Approximately 13.5” x 10.75” x 1.5”
I want to start out by clarifying that I misunderstood this product’s main purpose (I thought it was for hand towels, not bath towels), so that was my bad. That being said, here are my thoughts:Because it didn’t list the dimensions at time of purchase, and because I thought I had accurately assessed the size based on the pictures provided, I was a little disappointed to find it much bigger than I had anticipated. I was going to use this for my hand towels since I keep several out at a time, but the bars were too long to fit in the space I had planned for.To give you an idea about size, here’s some base info:-Includes 3 swinging arms + 1 bottom hook-Bars are ~13.5” long-Unit is ~10.75” tall-Protrudes not quite 1.5” when arms are flat against wall-There’s ~1” space in between each barYour bath towels would likely need to be folded in half to fit inside the length of each bar. At first, I thought there was too little space in between the arms to fit this type of folded thickness, but it actually didn’t seem to be a problem when I had a family member hold it up as I tested the unit out and swiveled the arms back and forth with various towels arrangements. I still think an extra inch or two of clearance would be much preferable, but at least the lack of space didn't seem to hinder its performance overall. The bars swiveled easily, and I love that a hook is at the bottom for any extra needs.I think this item would be ideal for small spaces where you maybe don’t have the width for a full towel bar, or you only have one stud accessible, or you’re regularly needing a place to store multiple, actively-used towels at once (like a shared family bathroom). Either way, I imagine it could be a great space-saver. As for hand towels, I personally wouldn’t use this for that alone, but maybe your plan is to put two on each bar (or to lay them out flat instead of doing a tri-fold).I can see a lot of benefits to this rack, it just wasn’t exactly what I expected it to be. Because of that, I couldn’t hang it where I had planned (as mentioned above), so I can’t speak to the mounting process. I will say, though, that the included instructions do not depict the actual item. So, while the unit appears to be pretty straightforward, you’d still need to know enough about that stuff (which I don’t lol) to hang it yourself.All in all, I’m not sure where this thing is going. I’ll either find a place I wasn’t originally intending (like maybe in my closet to sort through hang-ups and plan outfits??), or I’ll give it to someone else to try...because it still seems like a quality product. It’s attractive, the bronze color is great, and it seems sturdy and functional. It would’ve been helpful to have had the dimensions listed beforehand, but perhaps most people would know it’s for bigger towels. Also, the description says it offers 360 degree rotation, but they obviously meant 180. I imagine most people would know this, but I still wanted to clarify.Okay, I think that’s it. You’ve finally reached the end. Thanks for reading my novel! I hope it was helpful in some way.

Functional and nice looking towel bar
I love the look of this towel bar, the actual color matches the picture description perfectly. The overall look is very sleek and doesn't use much wall space, which I like. We mounted this into drywall, rather than a stud. The towel bar does come the necessary screws and drywall anchors. I would recommend mounting into a stud if you can, as the bar is slightly wobbly in the drywall (hence the 4 star rating). There are 4 bars total for hanging towels and a hook at the bottom. We are only using the bar for 2 towels and have had no issues with them drying completely. Depending on the size of your space, using all 4 bars may not be feasible as they do need to be fairly far apart to not have the towels touch. Overall, the towel bar looks great and works well for what we need.

Hefty quality at fair price
It is good hefty materials. Mine felt stiff to swing the arms out of the box but I exoect and want that. I did not want loose and sloppy movement. My particular bent hook on the bottom was not bent perfectly square. Finish is nice. The screws supplied are for drywall plastic Mollys and have a soecial head to cover the screw heads. I want to screw into my wood studs for sturdiness. They are too short and could use another 1/2 to 3/4 “ in length. I expect this to be a more than satisfactory purchase over the long run.
