2 Pack 24 Inch Shower Grab Bar with Anti-Slip Grip, iMomwee Chrome Stainless Steel Bathroom Grab Bar Handle, Shower Balance Bar, Safety Hand Rail Support, Handicap Elderly Senior Assist Bath Handle

My mother is in her late 80's and has problems with mobility, but I happened to notice that her bathrooms were not equipped with items that would make it easier for her to move around. So, I took steps to correct the problem, by adding grab bars and a raised toilet seat.Although I am also a senior citizen, I have been fortunate not to experience mobility issues. But when I renovated my shower, I decided that it was prudent to install grab bars. I chose the anti-slip grip grab bars because I could imagine the potential for your hand sliding on a wet grab bar, if it was not anti-slip.I was concerned that the lower price for this product would result in it being poor quality, but this was not the case. If mounted properly, I found the grab bar to be very sturdy. The reason I say if mounted properly, is because I am not a fan of the plastic wall anchors that came with the grab bars, because I don't feel that they are strong enough to prevent the bars from pulling away from the wall if someone applies too much pressure when trying to pull up on the bar. If I am not successful in screwing into a stud, I choose to use toggle bolts that are designed to support heavy loads.Regarding the lower price of the product, I assume that one reason for the low price is because some assembly is required. But assembly only requires that you attach the grab bar to the mounting bracket, However, I offer this piece of advice. The mounting bracket has three holes for the screws to be inserted. When you attach the bracket to the grab bar, make sure you turn the bracket, so the holes are in a position that makes it easy to insert screws. If you are not paying attention to how you assemble the grab bar, one of the screw holes might be blocked by the grab bar and it will be difficult to use a screw driver.

I have bought and installed 6 of these grab bars for my elderly father. They are extremely sturdy and the etched diamond pattern makes them slip-free and easy to hold on to. The price is more than fair and they are very easy to install. Very solid. Have bought three times now, always the same quality. A rare 5-star product.

Sturdy and easy to install. They are a big help

Installed diagonally inside a shower. Solid as a rock and looked great. HOWEVER, after several showers noticed rusty dribble coming from lower mount point. I think the water is getting inside the hollow tube at the upper end, running down and dripping out the from the lower end. Result is a long rust stain down our tiles. I had used sealant installing the bar under both mounts but that wasn't enough to fully stop the drips. I then contacted the company they were very good offering me a refund or replacement. I went with the replacement and will reinstall the new one but use stainless steel screws and fully pack the mounts with sealant. If I don't make an update assume it all worked out.
