The cabinet or drawer knobs aren't designed to hold that much weight. But a grab bar disguised as a dish towel bar serves this purpose well. Today grab bars come in all shapes, textures, sizes and configurations. Color Many manufacturers offer a broad range of colors. No longer are grab bars limited to the conventional stainless steel, shiny finish.
Color offers the opportunity for contrast, a very important feature if someone is falling.
