16 in. knurled chrome grab bar

I purchased this product on June 14, 2018 - just over a year ago and the screws plates are already rusting. I plan to see if I can get a replacement safety bar but not this particular one

Rusted badly within 8 months.

Good quality grab bar. Nice improvement to my bath/shower. Size of width makes it easy to get a good grip.

This grab bar is plenty strong enough to support a 250 lb. person while stepping in or out of the tub, when it is screwed into wall studs. I had some oddly spaced studs in my bathroom wall that it fit onto. The knurled gripping surface makes it very unlikely that even a wet hand would slip along the bar. I don't mind the screw heads showing, so I didn't buy the more expensive model with covers for the mounting areas. One caveat, though. When the vendor printed a shipping label to send this to my local Home Depot store, they only put my name and the name of my city on the UPS label. It sat at the local UPS location for 9 days, until I called Home Depot customer support, and they determined what was wrong, then had it delivered to the store. At that time, UPS was about to return it to the sender as undeliverable. Kudos to Home Depot customer support, but the vendor should do some training in his shipping department.

I used it as a grab bar to make it easier to get in and out of a small teardrop trailer sleeping compartment. It does the job.

HD did not deliver it. I had to call them. They said it was damaged during transport. I was reimbursed... but I had to call THEM.

Home Depot didn’t carry the toggle bolts in the size required for installation on the on non-stud wall. Medline didn’t include them in the box. Couldn’t find them at any other store either. Had to return the product.
