The towel holder that was in the same collection as the faucet we wanted was circular. We found this and decided the shape was more aesthetically pleasing and updated than the round or oval options. I'm so glad we went in this direction.  tge polished nickel finish is beautiful. It is a warmer softer look than chrome.  It doesn't give off that blue cast.  Particularly pleasing if you are mixing metal finishes in or around your space. It was worth the extra $ for this finish. 

Pros: Great look, beautiful finish, high quality.
