> 3 dayWas intimidated since I needed this in the bathroom but was told by several men that I’d have to hire a professional. ( they couldn’t do it ). And of course there are never any studs where you need them. Not only were the instructions easy to follow but there are only a few parts to install. This 76 year old women installed it in 20 minutes. Works great and looks good

> 3 dayWe purchased this grab bar-toilet paper holder in combination with Moens 30-inch Flip-Up Grab Bar (R8960FD) for my 96 year old mother who had tried everything else in her struggles to be able to use the toilet safely and without foreboding. Nothing else worked...bedside toilet, taller toilet, booster seat for increased height on the toilet, arm rests that attach to the toilet, etc. Any device that had to be secured to the toilet eventually rocked or wobbled or just seemed iffy. When we installed this grab bar disguised as a toilet paper holder on a wall to the side of the toilet and the Flip-Up grab bar to the wall behind the toilet on the other side, the problem was solved. Both supports were firmly attached to the walls, no anxiety about whether the connection would come loose. My carpenter stood on the Flip-Up grab bar to test its strength! When its up, the bathroom looks pretty much like any other.

> 3 dayThis was actually easier to install than a regular grab bar. It looks nice and is dual purpose. It nice that my parents can grab this and I know it will support them.

> 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.

> 3 dayWhile designing our bathroom remodel to be handicap accessible, I was on the lookout for practical, attractive components. This Moen grab bar/toilet paper holder fits perfectly. Its not too large and it looks good. My carpenter said there was a little difficulty with the installation because of the set screws.... his fingers were too large and he had to have his helper place them. It is a little too close to the wall for the very large rolls of toilet paper, they rub against the wall until they are used a bit. Id recommend getting a bit smaller size or just deal with the roll not turning easily for a while. I got the brushed nickle finish and it looks very nice.

> 3 dayI love the support bar this item gives me. A little help to lift off the toilet is a big help. Easy to grip, my plumber installed it on to the tile wall. I wish I had bought it years ago.

> 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 dayI had these installed to help my husband who is disabled. They are very sturdy and do hold quite a bit of weight as described. They are pretty large though, so still a little institutional looking but not as bad as just a plain grab bar. Delta makes one that looks less ADA but also has a much smaller bar to grab so if you need to get a real firm grip, this is the one to get. I would also do as others have suggested and install it so it slants ever so slightly upward so as to better keep the toilet paper on it. I have had the toilet paper slide off of mine a couple of times when it was bumped. Its only happened a couple of times so its not a real big deal but is easily avoided if you install it on a very slight slant. When we had ours installed, I had to remove a recessed toilet paper holder in one bathroom. Then we had the problem of what to do with the hole in the wall. A builder friend suggested installing an oak panel on the wall and then just drilling and screwing directly into that. The oak backing is screwed into studs and the toilet paper holder is screwed directly into the oak. Its very sturdy that way. We made the oak backing long enough to go over two studs to make sure this is sturdy. This meant we didnt have to drill another large hole in the drywall to anchor the toilet paper holder. In another bathroom, for some reason there was backing in the entire wall next to the toilet so we didnt have to worry about where to place the screws. They all went directly into solid wood so we didnt have to worry about making a large hole in the wall. If youre remodeling and have a choice, ask to have backing placed in the wall between the studs so you can screw items like this directly into solid wood, so you dont have to make the large holes for the anchors. The only other drawback was that this did not come with screws for screwing into studs or hard wood, only the anchors. I had to purchase long screws to make sure this was securely fastened.
