16 Inch Shower Grab Bar Satin Brushed Nickel, ZUEXT Stainless Steel Safety Grab Bar Handle, Bathroom Balance Bar, Safety Hand Rail Support - Handicap, Elderly, Injury, Senior Assist Bath Handle

Bought for extra support on basement stairs. It's perfect! Great size, perfect bar thickness, easy to mount. Serves the purpose.

Strong

Here are the basics. Item shipped quickly and arrived in one piece. Price was great and looks/feels better than what I was expecting at this price point. It was easy to assemble (Yes, you have to assemble it.). It was easy to mount. I mounted on a solid wood door frame and the screws provided were long enough. Overall, it's a good product. But, it is not quite handicap grade equipment. The bar is tiny and my wife (who uses it) said it is slippery. I have several handicap bars for her and this one is noticeably smaller than the others. I bought it to help her navigate the bathroom. It works, but if I had it do over again, I would go with the same quality of the other bars that I have. I haven't yet decided if I'm going to take it off and replace with another one because I'm not quite sure how much longer my wife will need to use the bars. If you're looking for a bar to use for someone handicap, I would go with a higher quality bar. This is not quite at that level. For what it is, I give it 4 stars. However, this is not quite what we needed.

Good strong product, would purchase again

These inexpensive grab bars were a little shorter than I was expecting. Getting them installed on a wall with standard 16" center studs was possible but I was only able to get one screw into each stud. They should have been a little longer as the more expensive ones I have purchased allow at least two screws per stud. They work find on vertical installation but not so well horizontally.

Handles are very nice and sturdy.

When I ordered this I naively assumed a 16 inch grab bar was designed to mount to 16" on center studs. Wrong. The bar is 14-3/4" on center, so I had to do extra work to provide a firm mounting. It looks nice and seems solid, although the backing plate flexes a little if you put your full weight on it. Overall I'd say it's OK if you're not expecting to mount it on 16" studs, but it's not great.

Update (1/26/2020): I've been pleased with the grab bars so I bought 4 more so that I can grab them with both hands for most of the length of my basement stairs. I bought two of these 12" grab bars for my basement stairway. I'm tall and at the top of the stairs I would need to lean over about 9" in order to grasp the existing stair rail. Once I am down a step or two, it's not an issue because I can reach back slightly to grasp the rail. Going up also is not much of a problem because I can grasp the door frame at the top. I experimented and decided to place the grab bar at about a 30 degree angle to the horizontal with the low end towards the top of the stairs. That makes it easy to grab with the natural angle of my arm and hand. I placed the second grab bar similarly at the landing where the stairs turn 90 degrees a couple of steps from the bottom. The grab bar is lighter than I expected but feels sturdy. Installation is easy even though there are no instructions. You need to snap the cosmetic covers off the mounting flanges, slide the covers over the bar, bolt the flanges to the bar, screw the flanges to the wall, and slide the covers over the flanges. The grab bars come with mounting screws and drywall anchors. I would suggest that you screw at least one end to a stud rather than using the drywall anchors. I got lucky, there were convenient studs at both ends of both of my grab bars. I'm not sure how they came up with the 12" measurement. They are about 13" between the outer edges of the flanges, 11" between the centers of the flanges, and 10" in the grab area. The bar itself is about 1" in diameter.

It's OK for the price.

These are very sturdy handles. I have one in shower and one near toilet. Love the black matte.

This product is very flimsy ... upon inspection of handles I found diameter of handles are very small and narrow ..this is for my elderly mother and I wouldn’t have the confidence to install for her safety ..contacted company as well to return ...no response
