Designer price, bargain-basement build quality
Bought a Carisa towel radiator via a radiator seller and when it arrived (direct from Carisa, so no blame on the seller), the packaging was so poor that the towel rail component was bent and I had to pull it out straight again. The build quality is awful, clearly just sectional aluminium, carelessly cut to length so several rough, shiny cut edges show on a black radiator. Cheap, poorly made brackets just punched into the back with self-tapping screws that pulled out the second you put any sort of force into them, which you have to do because the brackets require an insert that is so stiff they have to be attached using something to tap them on with. My radiator had some poorly-filled holes on the back where someone had clearly drilled in the wrong place for the towel holder and then just filled the holes in and moved on. The mounting system is ridiculous, and if you’re mounting to copper I genuinely don’t see how you would mount the rad and still be able to line it up with the pipes. Awful build quality, non-existent quality control, terrible packaging and poorly-thought out mounting design. For what they cost I feel like I’ve been utterly ripped off. Avoid like the plague.
