Greater than one weekThe holder was installed by my bathroom contractor with very little issues. It looks great and is extremely helpful when sitting down and getting up, as my knees are compromised. Paper on the roll pulls easily (use the over the top roll!) and is super easy to replace when empty. Id recommend this to anyone who needs a little help and also wants a nice looking fixture.

> 3 dayOnce the bar is mounted it’s strong and sturdy. Just have to make sure you use the correct holesaw when drilling through a tile wall so you don’t crack the tile. Must be some what handy to drill through wall and mount.

> 3 dayExcellent quality and nice idea. Easy, quick mounting even a child can do, It is strange not to have to screw it to a stud. It just uses the sheet rock as a support. You will need to drill larger than the standard hole and over no stud, water pipes, or wires. It requires about a 1 1/2 hole or two. Read the instructions well. Ok for a non-DYI person. The mounts are not 16 or 24 apart. It mounts on very special supplied devices for sheetrock, but nothing like you have likely seen before. THEY claim they are stronger than three screws in a joist side but you have that option.

> 3 dayThis seemed like the coolest way to hang toilet paper.. I had to return it though because there was not sufficient space between it where it had to be mounted and the loo. I still think it is such a cool idea.

> 3 dayI like this grab bar tp holder very much because its so practical. We were originally going to install it on the left side of the toilet with the tp holder facing forward. Then I changed my mind, and decided to have it installed on the right side of the toilet with the tp holder facing to the rear of the toilet. Didnt make a difference. Wouldve worked either way. As other reviewers have noted, when the grab bar is installed level, the tp holder will be slanting slightly downhill. I thought that might be a problem, but now with use, I find it isnt. Toilet paper pulls evenly off the roll without pulling the roll off the holder. Works nicely. Although its great in that it does double duty as a grab bar to help you get up from the seated position, it does have a kind of an ADA look to it. So we installed it on the privacy wall between our toilet and shower, so you really dont see it when you walk into the bathroom. If we had installed it on the other side, it would have been visible immediately upon stepping into the bathroom, and made it look sort of institutional. Now, hidden behind the privacy wall, I still have the double duty convenience, without ruining the look of my fancy new bathroom. Im pleased.

> 3 dayThis has worked really well as a grab bar. My only objection is that I wish it would allow more room for the paper. During the pandemic, weve not had much choice in our paper and sometimes end up with the new fatter, shorter rolls. (who does Charmin think theyre kidding?) lol These fatter rolls rub the wall until the first 20 or so sheets are used. Other than that, it has worked fine.

> 3 dayThis combines two functions and looks interesting. If this is a retrofit project - Moen has solved the problem of no backer board installed in the wall. Moen includes a Secure Mount system with it so you dont need a stud or backer board for it to carry the weight for grab bar use. Needs an inch plus hole and the mount molly goes into/installs through that. The grab bar cover conceals the holes. The carpenters forgot to install the wood backer and new porcelain tile had already been installed - ouch! So discovering the Secure Mount molly system, in the package, was a lifesaver - one side is over a stud and the other side uses the mount. Designed and packaged with the customer in mind - am so impressed.

> 3 dayI cant say enough great things about this product! Im a 60-year-old active woman whos had both my knees and both hips replaced due to osteoarthritis. I wish I wouldve had this product prior to my surgeries! Though I dont use it as a grab bar now, I wanted this feature as I grow old alone. I just had my master bath gutted down to the studs, and I wanted my new formal bath to have lots of safety features without looking fuddy-duddy. This product is great because it combines function and form, yet doesnt look like a typical grab bar. I also like the fact that toilet paper can be changed so easily -- no more fumbling with those darn spring-designed t-paper holders! ;-)

> 3 dayA bit larger in person than it looks in pictures, but extremely secure and very attractive. I dont have any of the issues that others have mentioned regarding the tissue roll falling off the holder. Thinking about which side of the toilet itll be on, and attention to placement and is the key. Basically, you want to be tearing the tissue in the direction of the curved part of the bar. If you mount it on the right hand wall, then place it near enough to the toilet so the natural and comfortable tendency will be to tear the tissue away from you. This way, you will be tearing the tissue toward the curved/closed end of the bar, and not pulling toward the open end. If you mount it on your left side, then mount it a little further from the toilet so the natural tearing motion will be pulling toward the curve. The secure mount hardware is fantastic! Extremely easy and secure. Also purchased the Moen Home Care Grab Bar (LR8724D1GBN) to use as a towel bar in this same bathroom. Perfect match, although the grab bar does not come with the secure mount brackets. They fit and work with the bar however, you will need to purchase those separately.
