I liked the styling on this grab bar; most that I found on line were a bit too utilitarian-looking. We're renovating our small bathroom, putting in a deep soaking tub, and I thought it might be smart to install one of these for future years when I am a bit older. Be forewarned: this bar is only 12" long, considerably shorter than most. I actually like the shorter length since I am not interested in making my gorgeous new bathroom look like it belongs in an assisted living facility!
