I think we got a cheap towel rail from there which we had to replace because it was rusting around one of the tails. No idea whether it was installation error or a dodgy rad but it was cheap and lasted a few years.
Replaced with a stelrad which I've also found some damage on in a similar place so whether that was the plumber or supplier I don't know. Feel like I'm cursed when it comes to towel rails.I guess my advice is inspect on delivery!

Cheers - looks great! We've gone for these in various sizes - https://www.traderadiators.com/nordic-4-column-radiator-raw-metal-600mm-x-1239mm.
We had a discussion with the guy who is fitting them about the risks/longevity of steel and whether there were any go-to or avoid brands, but decided in the end since spending more is still a pig in a poke quality-wise and as long as we keep to the same sizes replacement is a DIY job, going for an average price and accept possibly replacing in future is no worse then spending the cost of a radiator and a future replacement on a supposedly better quality rad and keeping our fingers crossed.
