Moen Chrome Bathroom Safety 16-Inch Designer Shower Grab Bar with Concealed Screws for Handicapped or Elderly, LR8716D3CH

I have these in all my bathrooms in the shower and tub areas. The smooth, rounded finish provides an easy and comfortable grip for assistance. I also have them horizontally in the back of the shower and bath areas to not only serve for my assistance but also to hang my washcloth and my back brush. So they serve as grab bars and towel bars too. I can't be two purposes for one item!! The brushed nickel finish is quality and the bars themselves are substantial, providing confidence for me in the bathroom. Lastly, they are stylish, but at the same time a little inconspicuous in that they don't draw attention. They just wait in the background to you help when needed. :-)As for installation, my contractor has never once complained about them. In fact, he said I made a good choice and refers this particular brand/style of grab bars to other customers now too. If my contractor thought a product was difficult or unsafe for me to use, he would surely let me know. I have both, 18 inch and 16 inch, but mostly 16 inch. Over the years, my contractor has installed 7 of these life savers in three bathrooms so far. We have one more bathroom left to remodel and we will probably install 3 more there. When I find something that works for me I usually don't change the course. I buy what I know from experience works!!!As far as grab bars go, this particular brand/style is the one I purchase for my home. If you care about yourself and/or your family that may need assistance at some point (could be anyone, at any age) these grab bars are the way to go, safe and comfortable to use.

Well made. Matches faucet beautifully

Outstanding grab bar. I am a fussy shopper so I analyze products very carefully. I also am 66 and a carpenter by trade. This is very ornate (make sure the finish of the bar matches the finish of your showerhead, drain, etc. I don't care what the instructions say, you want to install this bar with exterior screws going at least 1 1/2" of the screw being into the stud. CRITICALLY important. Figure out the most likely place in your shower where you might slip. This will dictate whether to buy 1 or 2, how long the bar should be, etc. Now locate where the studs are using a decent stud finder. You DO NOT want you sustaining a bad injury or your life being dependent on some flimsy toggle bolts, or ANY other type of picture hanger. You know what I am saying. If a bar does not fit exactly horizontally or vertically, remember that you can install these diagonally. What matters is that you get at least 1 1/4" of a good quality, exterior (rust resistant) screw into the studs on both sides. Forget the instructors here. You need at least 2 and preferably 3 screws on both sides. Now you know how many bars to order, what finish to order them in, and lastly, how long it will be. Finally, install the bar using a generous amount of a good quality bathroom approved caulking compound. You do NOT want water getting behind the bar and into the installation hardware. Buy a clear type if the caulk will be visible. Don't skimp on anything. Your life is too important.I felt a great sense of relief when I showered after installing this bar. The total cost = under $50., which a small amount to pay for piece of mind.

Item was as described. Arrived promptly. Perfectly matched my bathroom accessories. Very sturdy! My husband feels so much safer in the shower. I ordered 2 and very pleased with purchase. Would definitely recommend.

Been needing a little "assist" getting up from the john lately so this item seemed to fit the bill. Installation is super easy and quick. The only reason I give it 4 stars is the quality of the furnished screws. The metal is very soft. Even having drilled pilot holes I managed to wreck the heads on two of the screws. I'm an experienced DIYer so I will blame myself when necessary. In this case it's the cheap screws. Overall, I will recommend it. With 3 screws above and below the bar feels solid as a rock. Think I'll get another for the shower. I'll probably go through my hardware collection and choose a better screw.

Looks Good and is of good quality. My mother feels a lot safer with these in the shower.
