Very useful and beautiful as well against the new tiles

I am really impressed with this grab bar. This anti-slip grab bar with textured grip is 12 inches in length by one and a quarter inch diameter. I ended up getting the shorter bar, but there is a longer one as well so be aware of that, and look at your dimensions.I broke my ankle really badly a few years ago, and so I am always worried that I am going to fall in our shower. My ankle was one of the worst breaks my doctor had ever seen, literally the trifecta of breaks and so I have a hard time in pulling myself up at times in the bathroom, toilet, and even in the bedroom at times. So really these grab bars are quite versatile, so don't limit them solely to the bathroom.The beautiful gold finish with the textured knurled surface matches my bathroom fixtures to the T . We are renovating our mid-century home, and have a lot of gold fixtures, so I was very happy to have found this color.The 304 stainless steel is rust proof, waterproof, and very heavyweight. The craftsmanship is excellent! The concealed screws allow for clean lines, and so it fits right in with our slick mid-century modern home look. I mean come on it's a grab bar, but you still want it to look a little stylish right lol?As stated early this grab bar can function for more than just the bathroom. You can use it to pull up in a variety of situations, so the functionality is very versatile.So overall, this installation was fairly easy. It took my husband and I about 20 minutes to install with a right angle bit ratchet. Now mind you, it was still a little bit tight, however, it does work. There is another thing I want to point out I feel it's very important to locate a stud if you can. If you want this grab bar to truly work and carry up to 500 pounds, you really want to make sure that it is tightly secured into a stud if you can. That's not to say you have to do it, but just remember it's only gonna be a strong as what it is screwed into.I really do highly recommend this grab bar. Not only is it easy on the eyes, it truly is very heavy duty, and also has a beautiful finish. I do want to point out, that it's more of a brushed gold than a bright gold so just be aware of that.

This grab bar is both stylish and sturdy. The oil-rubbed bronze gold finish gives it a classy, timeless look, and my 75-year-old mom especially loves the color. The wide grip feels very solid and comfortable in the hand, which adds extra confidence when using it.Even though I wasn’t able to secure both ends into studs, the included anchor plugs held firmly and made the installation feel strong and reliable. To further ensure a permanent hold, I sealed everything with silicone caulking, which also helps keep water out.The only minor drawback is the cover design—it’s held in place by friction on two small ears, so there’s a chance it could come loose in the future. Thankfully, this would only affect appearance, not function or safety.Overall, it’s a great-looking, sturdy grab bar that combines safety with style. I’d definitely recommend it.

I got the 12" handgrip. The knurled handgrip and overall construction is good. I got it as a replacement for a handgrip I already have that measured 12" center of pipe to center of pipe. However, this one measures end of pipe to end of pipe, so it will not fit my current mounting points and I am not willing to drill new holes in my ceramic tile. Looking at the pictures on the product page, it is unclear from the pictures on the product page where the 12" are measured. As I said, the measurement is from the outside end to outside end (see my pics). If you are installing this in a new location, then it should be fine. But if you are replacing an existing grip, just be aware of how the length is measured.

Excellent quality. Explanation and actual product were congruent.

Muy Lindo se los recomiendo a todos exelente para la casa

This is great in the bathroom and shower to help with balance.

We had been looking for a smaller grab bar for our bathroom. We have a large on in our shower unit, but my husband will be having a shoulder replacement, so we wanted a smaller size to go next to the toilet. There simply isn't room for a 24" - 30" bar next to the toilet, so this 12" is perfect. It has an engraved pattern to cut down on slipperiness. It was extremely easy to install. It looks very nice, and has a strength to it that makes me feel comfortable that it will do its job.

Very strong! Good grip! No problems attaching it to our br wall! Took screenshot of installation picture which helped!

easy install, looks fabulous

This is a classy looking grab bar, and my wife will love it (when I finally get it installed). We are renovating two bathrooms in our new house and have already done one in our current house, we're 70, and we know a thing or two about grab bars. The four we are putting in our bathroom at the new house are satin nickel and slightly fatter than this bar. I like this bar better because it is a bit thinner and has the stipples for grip. We have selected a place for this new gold colored bar, and my wife is looking forward to having it available to help with the two steps up from the breezeway to the living room.The bar is obviously high quality and the attachment hardware is plenty beefy. We have chosen the location for it, but first we must redo the trim around the sliding glass door. I hope to update this review with a picture when I [1. Learn how to take pictures and upload to a review, and 2. Get the new trim in place and install the grab bar.\If we had seen such stippled grab bars before we chose the new bathroom hardware, we would have selected them for the improved gripability.

I received this grab bar through the Amazon Vine program in return for an honest review. I confess I have not tried to install the bar yet as I am waiting for my son to visit and take care of it, but I was impressed with the appearance of the bar when I received it a couple of days ago. It looks very sturdy and well made. It comes with good instructions, all necessary parts for installation and was carefully packed so that the bar did not receive any scratches in transit. I have several stainless steel grab bars, but had wanted one in the gold-tone to match other hardware in my one bathroom and this will match perfectly. I like the textured grip section in the middle of the bar. It is a well-thought-out safety feature since I plan to place it where it can be used when exiting the shower. The grip will be safer for wet hands. All in all, it is good value for the price and I recommend it.

The most important thing you need to know when choosing a shower bar is the type of wall in your shower. If you have any type of natural tile, you NEED to purchase one that needs to be installed with screws. I tried one of those that attach using suction cups and they literally Fell off the wall. I have smooth travertine tiles, so I need one that can be securely attached.This bar is a nice length and the metal has grooves to improve your grip. It is sturdy and looks nice.

The "IJDD Shower Grab Bar for Bathroom, Anti-Slip Safety Grab Bar for Bathtub Toilet Staircase Stainless Steel Textured Grip Bath Handle Handrail for Elderly (Oil Bronze Gold, 12" L x 1-1/4" D) (Oil Bronze Gold, 12" L x 1-1/4" D)" is a good thing to have inside your bathroom. The knurled grip surface provided exceptional anti-slip functioning for the grab bar to support whether your hand wet, with soap lather. According to the advertising the grab bar as long as screw into a support stud should be able to withstand up to 500 lbs of pulling force. I do hope I never have to prove it.
