Darling design, beautiful color, lousy engineering

The rack looks just like the picture. I bought the blue and the color is vibrant. The problem is the way the plastic hooks are connected to the metal strip. They have a groove on top and sort of slide into place. The bottom of each hook has a very tiny set screw that it supposed to hold it into place. They do not work. First off they are super tiny and so close to the wall that it is very difficult to get in to place the screwdriver in, and a person with large hands can't manage it. But the main problem is that the screws themselves are not long enough. When they are as tight as possible the hooks lift right off. So if you hang a towel on the hook when you remove the towel the hook comes off with it. MAJOR design flaw.
Kartell
Based in Milan, Italy, Kartell was founded in 1949 by chemical engineer Giulio Castelli and his wife, architect Anna Castelli. Originally a producer of car accessories, it was Kartell's experimentation in plastics for the home that made them famous. Stylish home accessories and lighting dominated the 1950s, with the first injection-molded furniture emerging in the 1960s. Since then, the Kartell modern furniture line has only continued to grow, including contemporary chairs, tables, sofas and more--all made out of durable, lightweight and surprisingly comfortable plastic.
