Portasciugamani Bilton, Ottone annerito

I was worried the blackened brass would look too dark in my bathroom, but it's got a nice warmth to it. The rounded lines are really clean and the solid brass feels hefty when I hang wet towels on the bottom wire bar. Water beads right off and air dries fast, so no spots.

The exposed screws and brushed metal finish give it a deliberate, designer look that photographs way better than I expected. Solid brass feels hefty when you tighten the mounts, and the wire frame dries out my loofah and razor without any pooling water.

Two weeks in and the holes haven’t rusted or stained, which surprised me for the price—the solid brass just wipes clean after a shower. The rounded wire frame lets my loofah and razor dry out fully instead of sitting in a puddle, so nothing’s gotten that funky smell.
