I bought 4 of the 9" Method Towel bars and 1 18" bar.  The 9" bars are very cute and substantial looking.  However, when the same dimension bar is stretched out 18", it looks proportionally thinner than the 9" bar.  The 9" bars are a unique substitute for a towel ring and I love them.  I rate the Moen Method bathroom hardware set a 5 overall.
