The grip is textured to prevent your hand from slipping - especially important when getting out of shower.

Easy to install, very strong. Good purchase.

FAST SHIPPED AND GREAT PRICE

The best part of this shower grab bar is that it’s made of durable stainless steel metal. It feels strong and well-built.It is on the small side at just 12 inches long, so be aware of that before ordering. The included mounting hardware appears solid, but your wall construction will ultimately determine how sturdy it will be once installed.I do like the diamond-pattern texture on the bar — that adds a secure grip when your hands are wet.Overall, this is a durable grab bar that should work well for someone who doesn’t need a long reach or heavy-duty support.

These grab bars are very strong. They are easy to install, and at this size, can be put just about anywhere for an helping hand. We used this in my dad's workshop - they are not just for the shower! They are a nice size bar for my dad to get his hand around and to grip as well.
