> 3 dayVery nice to have a handle and a toilet paper holder in one unit. The design is interesting. It is too short to screw to two standard US studs, so it comes with an interesting mount system. You drill 1 1/4 holes in your wall, then slip the mounts in and pull them tight against the back of the wall, like an oversize molly bolt. Screw the plates on the outside of the wall, then use the allen wrench to tighten the set screws in place to hold the bar on the wall. The wall mounts are quite well thought out. The set screws are the hard part of the installation. Theres very little room between the wall and the trim rings. There are three set screws per post. Tightening each screw with an allen wrench was tedious. After installed, it is sturdy and Im glad to have it. It has saved me from falling several times. I believe the load limit is 250 pounds, so its not as strong as a standard handicap hand rail. Arthritis sufferers will appreciate how easy it it to change toilet paper rolls. Slide it right on, no springing rolls, etc. Much easier plus gives you a safe handle.

> 3 dayYou dont know you need a grab bar next to the toilet until you do! Placed this in a tiny guest bathroom. Love that it doesnt look out of place since its really a toilet paper holder ;-) A must have for anyone who has had surgery or is up in age and having difficulty getting up and down.

> 3 dayVery easy to install, but it does request that you buy a round hole cutting bit to install the toggle bolt system. I was able to use a drywall knife and cut a hole on center that was level. It is very sturdy with one end in a stud and the other using the included anchoring system. There is a bit of a lip on the end where the paper is to be held, so installing it on a slight angle really isnt necessary to keep the roll in place.

Greater than one weekI am a 50 year old male, six feet tall and 220 lbs. I have also suffered from two stokes that left me with no balance and limited mobility. I was able to install this grab bar in about 30 min. onto a Sheetrock wall. One of the mounts lined up with a wall stud and I used a 1/4 x 2 stainless steel hex head lag bolt to secure the unit. The bolt fit the center hole in the flange perfectly. The other mount was secured with the included Sheetrock mount. I find the whole thing well made and solid. I am very happy with the unit as a whole! As others have said, the roll of paper easily comes off the unit. Unlike the others, I prefer this feature. With my limited mobility it is easy to replace the roll and I prefer not to reach while getting paper. I simply grab the roll and then put it back on the unit after I use it. This works for me. Before this I had the roll sitting on the counter. Now it has its own place. :o)

> 3 dayThis was rather big and clunky. We went with the Delta instead.

> 3 dayInstall was so easy! (26 y/o female with no prior experience) Borrowed a drill and had to buy a hole saw attachment. Maybe took 20 minutes. Hasnt come off the wall yet! Also, I bought this for my mom who hated the idea of handicap-anything and made it more of an interior design project. She thinks it looks great and is safe now.

> 3 dayMy husband has trouble with his knees and has difficulty getting up from the toilet. We bought this for our guest bathroom. We wanted something to help our friends with mobility problems, but we also did not want our house to look like a nursing home. We like the asthetics of this item and the functionality.

> 3 dayHaving this bar beside my toilet has helped me so much in rising. While Im healthy, my 80 year old knees arent what they once were, and I was having a bit of a struggle. I first saw this at my daughters house where they had just installed it in their downstairs guest bath at the request of my son-in-laws mother, who has a very difficult time getting up and down. I loved it, got the link from my daughter and immediately ordered it. It took a little planning on the part of my husband to get it in just the position I wanted, but once mounted (only one side in a stud) it is very, very sturdy. I got the brushed silver color and it looks lovely. I would highly recommend this Moen grab bar.
