DMI Chrome Plated Grab Bars For Bathtubs And Showers For Seniors For Bathtubs And Showers, Adjustable Bathtub Rail Safety Grab Bars, Rust-resistant, 250 Lb Capacity, Textured Non-Slip Handle, 3.3-5.8"

I am mid 70's and needed a "grab bar" I could install that was cost efficient! This one fit the bill. Easy to assemble using my tools, (not that toy wrench supplied) I affixed this to the tub wall as pictured. I am pleased it is sturdy, and gives me piece of mind when showering. If I should need to "stop a fall," this will support my weight, and give me a "grab" zone other than a soap dish and towel bar! Fair price and no help needed to install if you are handy with tools!

You will need a 12mm socket or flat wrench to assemble it because The TOY WRENCH THAT COMES WITH IT IS USELESS! The 12mm socket wrench was extremely useful for tightening the bathtub bolts while the flat wrench was needed for tightening the railing bolts. There were a lot of negative reports that this railing was wobbly and unsteady but the authors must have used that TOY wrench to assemble it. I bought this railing to help prevent me from falling off the toilet and into the bathtub. I used to have to sit with my walker wrapped around me (like a cage) in case I might pass out while sitting on the commode. It has happened before. I also find it to be handy for getting on/off the commode with the aid of a short railing attached to the nearby vanity cabinet.

The wife is having some balance problems, but I did not want a trip hazard when she got in and out of the tub. I am saving for a shower conversion, but they are thousands of dollars, so this will have to do. It clamps on tightly. Tip: If your toilet is directly in front of the tub, that is, the back end, you can place this on that end, and it can assist you in getting up off the pot. If you are like me and have to get up in the middle of the night to pee, I was surprised at how nice it is to reach over and get a little help getting back on my feet. Good product.

Considering this product is intended to be used for helping people with disabilities or seniors who generally don't have any kind of strength, this was packaged with the bars that go over the side of the tub completely closed, and overly tightened to the point that I can't even use a drill bit to unscrew it. I'm not sure how this is supposed to benefit us if we can't use it. It currently doesn't fit our tub and needs to be expanded but I can't because of the defect with the screws.

Great product. Fit perfectly. Only minus I give is that I bought it for my elderly friend (83 and still super able/active)and they where unable to install themselves. Then it took me and my husband. 1 person advised on helping hold in place as tightened. But they love it and it's beyond helpful for them.

It took a little bit to get it put together. It comes with a small wrench but it bent and tightening it was difficult. It worked well once it was put in place on the tub.

This bathtub bar is great. It's plenty sturdy.I'm giving it a low rating, though, because several parts were missing when it arrived - specifically, two stainless steel washers and two nuts.We had to stop the installation, run to town, and get the hardware - which wasn't cheap because it had to be stainless steel. After that, the installation went without a hitch.We're younger and had no other issues. But what if the user was considerably older, or with mobility issues? Bad problem to have, so it gets a lower rating.

This tub rail fit the measurements exactly as expected, and is as sturdy as I hoped it would be, without any rattling or wobbling against the tub wall. Made it easier to use the toilet with a standard raised seat and use the tub rail for support.Pretty easy to uninstall and reinstall when we wanted to reposition it too! Comes with a little wrench but a regular one works too.
