The color say's (white) but it is like a off white. I needed a (Porcelain white) I was trying to march an older grab bar that was there, witch is (porcelain white) like a bath tub. I'm sure the bar would have been fine if the color matched my white.

Nice look and peen finish. The mounting flanges are stamped parts and are warped, but I don't think it affects mounting. The 2" screws provided are too short for my wall consisting of: 1/2 tile and grout+ 1/2" wallboard +1/2" for plaster and metal lath+ 1/8" for flange and warp. I took pics of a 2-1/2 and 3" screw which I used with a 3/16" masonry bit for the tile and a 9/64" bit for the stud pilot hole. Moen could not provide the bolt pattern so I took a pic of mine No problems installing with the right screws.

I've got nothing bad to say about the bar itself, but the information here is very misleading--this does NOT come with the SecureMount anchors. Yes, it comes with wood screws, but those will only be useful if you have studs located exactly where you need them--which is unlikely to be the case, especially for the bars that are not in length multiples of 12". The SecureMount anchors work like a champ--in both drywall and through synthetic marble--if you have the appropriate 1.25" hole saws, they are easy to use, very secure, and well designed (even has integrated gaskets for when you mount them in the shower). I was able to install 4 bars (2 in drywall, 2 in synthetic marble) in less than 1.5 hours using the SecureMount anchors. But those SecureMount anchors will set you back $20+ per pair, which sucks when you think that they come included with these grab bars. 5 stars for a good grab bar, minus 2 for misleading descriptions and thereby a misleading overall price.

I bought the 36 and the 18 inch bars and they are wonderful. I watched a really good you tube video and installed them myself. I'm a 71 year old gal and I'm not going to say it was easy, I have ceramic tile with concrete behind. Drilling through all that was not the easiest thing I have ever done but within about 3 hours I had them both up. I highly recommend these bars and get some good anchors and you can do it too.

The flange covers each have three slight divots/dents against the wall (separated by 120 degrees so there's no rotation where you don't see them). Presumably it was an easy and cheap way to help hold the covers in place but It reduces the aesthetic of the design. I think a perfectly circular design would give it a classier look. Also, I find the 1.5" diameter bar appears to be sufficiently thick that it has an industrial look--definitely brings "public restroom" to mind. I think a 1.25" diameter model is more understated and subtle. If you really want to have your grab-bars shout out "ADA Compliant" go with the 1.5" diameter. By the way, both diameters are acceptable for ADA compliance but true compliance involves far more factors than bar diameter.

Wow! Great product! The "peened" section makes this bar ideal for wet areas. I installed this in our master bathroom shower. The "peened" section allows for a great grip, even when the bar is wet. Grab bar looks great and functions excellent! The 36 inch Grab Bar was installed on the long shower wall and the 24 inch Grab Bar was installed on the short (below shower head) wall. If you are mounting the grab bar to ceramic tile, make sure you get diamond tipped drill bit to drill the holes. I used two (2)Moen SMA1015CH, Home Care Securemount Anchors, Chrome so, I needed a 1/4" diameter diamond tipped drill bit and a 1-1/4" diameter diamond drill bit. Drilling the holes was easy. Follow the instructions to make sure the holes are drilled in the correct place. It took me about one (1) hour to install two grab bars.

While the stainless bars without covered endcaps are cheaper, these allow for more flexible placement of the screws, which is good when trying to hit a stud in the wall or go through the grout line rather than the tile. We positioned these on both sides of the toilets and on each wall on the first stud outside the shower. The bars on the sides of the toilet are positioned horizontally to aid in lowering onto the toilet and raising back up while the bars next to the shower are positioned vertically to aid transitions in and out of the shower. We used a separate product, attached with suction cups, in the shower to avoid drilling the tile and grout. Both our seniors appreciate this help, one due to arthritis and the other due to a knee injury. Well, I suppose we're seniors too, but just young seniors ;-). I suggest installing these as soon as your seniors will agree to let you do so. For the garage, we used a different solution, installing stair railing on the wall in an L shape approaching and then alongside the doorway and step. There are lots of you-tube videos showing various placements, and they come in many lengths. We used all 24" grab bars except in the garage and shower as noted. We also attached two 24" stainless grab bars to a post and installed a second post two steps below to create a needed two-step stair railing for a dining/sunken den transition. We used a wooden platform upholstered in carpet in front of a stair to create a wide enough step to hold a person and a walker, and also used stair railing on the sides to allow walker-free assistance for two step transitions in the bathroom and family room.
