This is NOT a 28.44” towel bar, although I bought it because it was advertised as one. I had a hard time finding a double towel bar longer than 24” and was happy to see this. Wayfair needs to change this description, because this towel bar is really only 24” (Model #79725). I decided to use it anyway, but when I started to install it, I discovered mine was also missing a set screw, so it can’t be fully installed. Disastrous purchase.
