flimsy tender_square "brushed nickel" my ass. the towel-rack-cum-display-shelf was a piece of metallic garbage. i shelled out fifteen dollars when bed bath and beyond was on the brink of going out of business believing i was getting a bargain. regrettably, the width of the shelf ended up being too big for my bathroom: it was an eyesore any place i tried to mount it. and so, i installed it in the rental, removed the too low towel rack that had been installed behind the toilet tank (who puts a rod there?). the screws that held the hammered aluminum together were janky. the mounting hardware had hexagonal heads for the teeny turning wand. i cursed and gave up, headed to the hardware store for two replacement screws that would go through the depth of the frame and the depth of the wall, that would support a sopping towel with a day's weight wiped on it. the store wanted twenty bucks for two plus fifty of its cousins. i headed for my parents place instead. dad went through his old maxwell house jars in the greasy garage, found me two trusty screws to get the job done. "lather up the ends with dish soap," he said. "it'll help it get through the wall when you're drilling that deep." 230218 what's it to you? who go blather from
