I bought my bath accessories from efaucets.com and they were made by Smedbo. I am quite happy with them so far. They look very modern and clean cut. They also have a couple of collections (not all of them modern I believe).

That apart, ginger is another company that seems to have trendy bath accessories.

If these do not satisfy you, then my suggestion would be to go to a showroom selling bath hardware, note down the companies and then look on internet for those brand names -- to see if prices are better.

Hope this helps.

Look at Home and Stone. They're in Brooklyn, but have a web site. They're orthodox Jews, so both the store and web site do not take orders on the Sabbath.

Thanks for all your responses! Since I like to see things in person, we'll probably take a drive into Brooklyn this week to Home and Stone.

Ebay! I got all of my towel bars, rings, tp holders etc. from there. I got oil rubbed bronze for my master bath and chrome for the guest bath all made by Price Pfister a couple of years back. It was about half the price maybe less then it was in one of the big stores (maybe Lowes?) If you want to see it in person you can order one to be sure you like it before getting the whole set.

I also got my cabinet knobs on Ebay for the last two houses I had and will again for the new house. The same exact knobs and pulls that cost $8 to $12 in stores cost $1 to $4 on Ebay. I always purchase just one to be sure I like the style and color before I order all of them.

BTW I'm originally from LI too. That's too bad Fortunoff closed. I have a leather sofa and chair set I got from them that's going on seven years old that will probably last another ten years! It gets heavily used and abused by kids and dogs plus slept on by my 250 lb husband!

Thanks, chihuahua! Ebay makes me nervous (newbie here) but you are right, lots of great stuff for half the price tag. Do you miss LI?

Got most of mine off ebay also. Just make sure before you buy check sellers reputation and feedback.

Thanks! I will check it out.

I saw here http://decorativetowelhooks.com, but for a long time, in my opinion it is the reseller

Here is a link that might be useful: towel hooks

Amazon or build.com: both have plenty of helpful reviews, good prices, and good return policies.

Do you have a Restoration Hardware nearby? I have theirs and Smedbo.

I hope the OP and everyone else have had a towel bar to hang their towels these last 6 years LOL

Oh man. I normally chastise people who reply to posts that are years old. This time I only looked at the last post)...listed on that right hand side of the page showing current posts. I better pay more attention. Thanks, SJ Hockeyfan. ;-)
