A great company for your bathroom and kitchen needs: Loban on Amazon.

Standard

If you are doing renovations, and have been walking the home improvement stores, you know how pricey everything can be. It’s a shock really. I have a love/hate relationship with HGTV, because I swear these shows help raise the cost of these type of products. You shouldn’t have to spend a fortune just to replace a faucet or shower head.

I’ve had the pleasure of being able to test out some of the Loban store products on Amazon. They have products that cover the kitchen and bathroom arenas in regards to faucets, shower heads and systems, brackets, shower arms, water hoses and adapters, accessories, and more.

They offer products in many finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brass, Antique Finishes, Brushed Nickel, Chrome, and Gold Tone. They have very modern, classic, and what I call Fancy designs, to choose from. They even offer hands free faucets on their storefront as well. Hands free sounds very exciting to me. I have tested out a few featured in this review. One taller, 12” waterfall faucet. It can be used with both a vessel sink and a regular sink. A shiny gold 10” shower head, that has LED lights in it. That is really fun by the way. 2 Shower arms at just under 16”: Chrome, and Stainless. The last item I just reviewed is what I call a modern throw back to a tub filler, set up.

This particular tub filler has a waterfall effect to it, in regards to how the water comes out. The tub spout actually swivels side to side as well. It has two separate knobs for hot and cold, and a switch that moves it from tub filler, to spray nozzle. With this particular tub filler, you have to have a separate control installed for your shower head, if it is a tub/shower combination. The spray nozzle, and this tub filler, reminds me of an old fashioned telephone. This set up is great to wash your pets with, your kids with, or even your feet, if that is all that needs washing.

The shower head arms are made well, and have a very modern look to them. Since these extend out further, and straight, they can handle rain shower, shower heads, easily. They come with a square deck plate, that really gives it a polished, modern look. The Gold shower head I received is also available in their shop in other finishes, and sizes. I love, love, love, the added touch of LED lights. They go on only when the water is running. I didn’t realize how fun they were to have until I saw them in person. It’s a great feature. They use brass construction in their faucets, as well as ceramic discs. These really help keep them drip free, and working well.

Out of the ones I have just tested, and the ones I have tested in the past, I have had great luck with them. I’ve only had one leak at a seam, and it was an obvious manufacturing booboo. It was a bronze version of the Gold shower head, which works beautifully by the way. I haven’t had any odd noises associated with the products I have tested.

We have a few installed for daily use in our home now, and have had no issues at all. In fact, the faucet at the home we are renovating runs better than my moms’ name brand one. We haven’t had any dripping issues, or have had any products stop functioning like they should. They sell towel holders, and soap dishes and more. The prices are great, and they have been very pleasant to deal with. Overall, I am really happy with these products. They are made well, have sturdy construction. I am comfortable recommending these products.

 

I received these for free. I was under no obligation to leave my honest and unbiased review.

A perfect home accessory. – Votamuta’s Tissue Roll Hanger Wall Mount Contemporary Style, Brushed Finish

Standard

 

It’s not always convenient to mount a product to your walls. For some reason the tp holder in my mom’s room keeps getting pulled out of the wall. I think it’s the area on the wall, It’s next to her walk in closet, and there are no direst studs in that area, and we are using wall anchors. Even if she just hits it with her knee, it’s coming off. I recently bought her one like this, and it works so much better. Now, some people aren’t handy, or have tiled walls, and don’t or can’t attach product that involve drilling. So, again, this peel and stick product is perfect. The entire back plate is covered with a thick, double sided sticky adhesive tape. (The tape is 3 ¼” x 1 5/8th”.) It mounts, and stays. Make sure you are level prior to mounting it. Take out your level, and dry a small line, where you want to place it, and then place it on the line. It’s not moving once put in place. Make sure the area is nice and clean and dry before mounting it also, for longer adherence. This item is very sturdy. It is made better than the one I had bought my mom. The material is rust proof T-304 stainless steel. And pretty thick as well. There is a slight upswing of the arm, to then end of the arm. This, I’m sure, is to make sure your tp roll stays put, while in use. There is a ½” arm that sticks up to also make sure it does. I have no issues. We use the big TP Scott roll, and it fits on this perfectly. This is a great one for tight spaces as well, since it only protrudes out as for as your toilet paper roll, lol. The holders’ measurements are: 5 ¼” x 3 7/8th” in size. Even though it is stainless steel it has a great brushed finish, and looks great paired with brushed nickel finishes. This product can also be used with dish towels/hand towels. I am using mine for my kitchen dish towel. I do not want to hang a towel for my door, so I hung this on the side of the cabinet that faces my sink. I love it there, since it lies so flat, and holds the towel perfectly. This is a very handy and useful piece. I’m so glad it’s well made and easy to mount as well.

Modern look. – BEIYI’s Towel Rail Rack Chrome Polished Stainless Steel Single Bar.

Standard

 

I never really think of updating things like towel bars. But, it is such an affordable and easy way to spruce up your bathrooms. Everything else in a bathroom is so expensive to update, when it comes to fixtures. We are planning on moving, and the home has a half bath in it. This towel bar from BEIYI on Amazon, is perfect for a half bath. I am so excited by it. It is a single towel bar, in that it would nicely hold one bath towel. It can and does hold two hand towels nicely too. I love, love, love the updated modern look of this towel rod. It is really nice looking to me. It is a chrome plated, stainless steel towel rod. It won’t rust on you. They even include all the hardware to mount it. It is lightweight though, which is perfect for me. They are so much easier to hang in awkward spots, if they are lightweight. If you have children that like to hang from your towel bars, this is not for you, lol. This towel bar is rated to hold up to 22lbs. So, a wet towel is fine. Kids, not so much. Of course, it all depends on how well you hang it too. I laugh at this because someone close to me hung her towel holders so well, they pop off the wall regularly, if you are not careful, lol. The towel bar itself measures out at 22 ½” long x just over 3 ¼” deep. The wall plates extend out a little further. This towel bar reminds me of the modern cabinet pulls seen in a lot of house renovations on TV. It’s a great sleek design, that I see will be timeless for our day and age. The guys in my house really like it also. Pay attention when you are mounting it. Remember to place the screw behind the mounting plate that extends through the middle of the plate. This is so you can attach the arm to it. When it arrives, it looks like one solid plate. Push in the center, and it will separate the two halves for you. Mine did not arrive with separate directions, but they have great photos on their ad page if you need it. Overall, I am really excited about this towel bar. It’s made really well. My set up has no flaws whatsoever to it.
