> 3 dayThe white color is nice. It was easy to install with the right tools (stud finder, electric drill/screwdriver, level). Great product for the discounted price that I paid.

Greater than one weekAlthough the illustrated directions for installation are included, the screw pattern does NOT allow you to get all four screws on the width of a stud. They simply dont align with the reality. I got 3 screws in both top and bottom but the illustration doesnt match with actual measurements. It looks good and I hope that it will stay in place with the three screws in each end.

> 3 dayWe installed this in the head (bathroom) of our boat. It’s made a huge difference climbing out of the shower. Easy to install & super sturdy.

> 3 dayFor my shower, these support bars do just what they say: grab & support bars. They also look so -o-o -o coo-o-o-ool. Being peened makes them a bit safer as you have a better grasp for your support. Im very happy that thats what I ordered.

> 3 dayThis safety bar is sturdy and has an apparently durable finish. I previously installed two of these to our garage entry door and ordered another for our rear door. The first two have been in use for two years and are working well. The bar is easy to install, there are a number of slots and holes in each of the mounting rings; just use 3 screws in each end.

> 3 dayMoen R8718PS grab bars installed easily, look great. Installed one at entry to tub at an angle, one at rear of tub horizontally, but should have ordered a third to install vertically at left side of shower wall for complete safe use of tub.

> 3 dayUpdate 7/28: received replacement 12 in its own box, arrived in perfect condition. Thank you Remodeling for elderly access. Wanted 2 vertical placement at either end of shower and 1 horizontal against long wall. I ordered two Model #: R8712W 12 and one Model #: R8716W 16 Glacier color (White). These sizes were impossible to find in-store, so took a chance to order on Amazon. The color for both sizes were a perfect match to a store-bought 18 Moen Glacier of a different Model #: LR8918W. Both models are exactly the same design/color except the LR89 series has a slightly larger diameter (fatter) grab bar. I like the look of the cheaper R87 series. Both the 12 & 16 came in plastic bags placed in an over-sized Amazon box so 1 of my 12 arrived with the white enamel scratched on both the flange cover and the bar. Damage likely occurred during packaging or bouncing around while shipping. I have requested replacement. The damage to the 16 was only on the flange cover under the wrapping and almost looks like a manufacture error as the flange cover is a bit deformed in shape and wont sit flush-however being a Moen product I have no doubt that Moen would send a replacement flange for free. For shower/bath I only use Moen and they have always (15yrs) honored their lifetime warranties. I returned the 16 as the two 12 I ordered appear perfect for intended use. I am waiting for a 18 and 24 to arrive from a local store to check that the color/design is the same as those purchased from Amazon a decide which size is better. Originally I was looking at Chrome in the Moen Designer Elegance and Moen Align series, but the bars are so big and so shiny that it was a bit of an eyesore. Also tried Delta Tempra, which actually was the least large of the bunch (not by much) am hoping the white bars are a bit more low profile with the intended white tile in shower. Will update with the color match/style consistency with the locally purchased Moen grab bars of the same model.

> 3 dayI cant speak for the SecureMount (sold separately) Anchors because I didnt buy/use them. I screwed these grab bars into a stud.
