Stander Curve Grab Bar - 14-Inch Bathroom Safety Handle for Elderly & Seniors - Non-Slip Bathtub & Shower Assist Rail - Ideal for Fall Prevention & Mobility Assistance in Bathrooms

Ensure that the three each brackets are screwed into a solid surface as recommended by the product instructions! Great Product!I'm going in for a second back surgery next week. Last go around I had a lot of trouble getting in and out of the tub/shower; my wife had to help me. I had another Stander product, the Security Pole with Grab Bars and it worked great for helping me get out of my chair & bed. Saw this and decided to give it a try. Works great. I can put full weight on it and it still secure. Did have a little trouble finding the exact centers of studs for mounting and had to use longer screws than were provided but all in all I'm extremely happy and feel much safer. Highly recommend.I installed this next to my toilet about a year ago and it has been very useful in accommodating my arthritis with the layout of my bathroom. It has been used multiple times a day for the last year with the rotating handles at a 90 degree angle from the wall. However, today the part that rotates seemed to suddenly get very loose. I took it apart and found that the bolt that attaches the horizontal and vertical bars had snapped and the metal around the hole closest to where the horizontal bar attaches had "torn" (see the pictures). I weigh well under the 300 lb weight limit and there was no unusual use or abuse of the item. In summary, the idea behind this is good (perhaps excellent) but the implementation was less than good. It needs thicker metal tubing and a stronger bolt. With the use of a hammer and another bolt I was able to cobble the grab bar back together, but I am not sure how long it will hold together.I had this installed outside the bathtub. The rotation and locking positions allow me to hold on while in the shower. Its stability also allows me to get in and out of the tub by myself. At first, having such a bar in my bath made me feel a bit sad, as did my disability in general. But not having to have help getting in and out of the shower makes me feel more independent. It makes my life possible, and for that I am so very grateful. Great product, great transaction. It's been installed about a year, with no issues whatsoever.We mounted it on the wall in front of the toilet (in the spare bathroom the wall is close) for my 90-year-old father-in-law to pull hisself up. It folds out to grab and you can fold back in towards the wall to be out of the way.The engineering and design of the grab bar is very helpful in transferring from the toilet to a wheelchair. The first one I received was missing half of a plastic bushing. Amazon immediately took care of the problem. Two thumbs upGame changer for me. I have MS and a very challenging time standing at times. It’s all about the angle I can get to push up. Even when my legs are weak I can grab it more securely and prevent falling.Was easy to install, took about 30 minutes. It is very sturdy and my elderly parents think it's great.Very good quality, unfortunately it did not serve the purpose we needed. When I went to return the item it states that it is not returnable. After contacting the company they said that is a mistake, the item could be returned. When there are other items that we may need I will look at this company first, as the quality of their product is very good.Great for the bathtub. Lots of angles to grab onto. easy to install and very secure. Only downside is the surface is smooth so might not be secure for wet hands. Love the adjustable, pivoting curved bar. Can be pressed flat against the wall when not needed.Easily installedExcellent product really helps for adults.
