We actually purchased this in the bronze to be used as a grab bar outside of the bathroom facilities. We have a sunken family room that is 13 the size of the house forming an L . Now due to our advancing age we had that bar mounted on the side wall of the family room at point of entry. Tripping would always occur on the step  but no more with the bar positioned . Looks fantastic and construction is solid . We weren’t looking for any brand just the style. Worth every cent.
