Choosing bathroom fixtures accessories often comes down to a single question: do you want everything coordinated in one box, or one standout piece that carries the room? Here, the choice is between a four-piece matte black set priced at $32.56 and a chrome double towel bar from the ICO Bath Ember collection priced at $84.38. The $51.82 price difference matters, but the right answer depends on what your bathroom already has.
Quick verdict
If you are starting with empty walls, the Matte Black 4-Piece Set is the more complete buy because it includes a towel bar, towel ring, toilet paper holder, and hook in the same finish. If you already have small accessories and need more towel hanging space, the ICO Bath Ember double towel bar is the better single fixture, especially with installation hardware included. The main caveat is the open-box condition of the more expensive item.
At a glance
| Product | Price | Price bar | Condition | Finish | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matte Black 4-Piece Set | $32.56 | New | Painted matte black | 24\" towel bar | towel ring | toilet paper holder | towel hook | |
| ICO Bath Ember Double Towel Bar | $84.38 | Open box | Chrome | 24\" double towel bar | installation hardware included |
Where the Matte Black set wins
The 4-piece set wins on comprehensiveness and upfront cost. You get four wall-mounted pieces that share the same painted matte black finish, so the bathroom looks intentional without mixing metals. The package also includes the screws and directions for installation. For someone outfitting a guest bath or a rental, this removes the guesswork of buying each accessory separately.
Where the ICO Ember bar wins
The ICO Bath Ember double towel bar wins for towel capacity. Instead of a single bar, the chrome fixture gives you two rows of towel space. It is wall-mounted and includes installation hardware, and the Ember collection styling gives the piece a defined look. If you are replacing only a towel bar or adding to an existing Ember fixture, this avoids buying a whole set you do not need.

The strongest reason to choose this set is the package: it includes four matching matte black pieces, so you do not have to shop for a towel bar, ring, toilet paper holder, and hook separately. The wall-mounted items are made of stainless steel and aluminum, and the painted matte black finish pairs with most bathroom fixtures. The included screws and directions simplify installation. On the downside, the finish is painted rather than chrome-plated, so it will not have a metallic sheen, and the set includes a standard 24-inch towel bar instead of a double bar. If you need more towel capacity or a polished metallic look, this set may not satisfy that. At 0.65 kg, the pieces are light, but the wall-mounted design and 24-inch bar work well for standard setups.

The reason to pick this piece is the double towel bar format. A 24-inch double bar gives you two rows of towel space in chrome, and the Ember collection has a coordinated look. The wall-mounted bar includes installation hardware, which removes a separate trip to the store. The open-box condition is the main limitation: it may show signs of handling, and the price accounts for possible damage or missing accessories. If you prefer a brand-new fixture, that uncertainty could be a dealbreaker. The chrome finish also means it will stand out against black or colored fixtures rather than blending in, so consider whether that contrast fits your bathroom.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Matte Black 4-Piece Set if you are kitting out a bathroom from scratch and want a coordinated look without buying pieces separately. Choose the ICO Bath Ember Chrome Double Towel Bar if your bathroom needs a wide double towel bar, you like chrome, and the open-box condition is acceptable for the extra hanging space and included hardware.
