This was easy to assemble (wrench included) and install (stud finder and battery operated drill.) Love the dual bars on top instead of the traditional one grab bar. Lady I put this in for loved it.

I purchased these Zelen 30" handicap grab bars rails after returning Zelen's 24" version, which were too far back for the user and therefore not safe. We're much happier now with the 30". Here are a few observations:Pros/Kudos1. For use as toilet assist rails, the 30" version comes far enough forward to help guide mobility challenged users to get up and down. The 24" version was so far back while you're seated on the toilet that you risked hurting your shoulder or making yourself less stable getting up from the seat. This might not be the case, though, for smaller toilets with round bowls (instead of elongated ones).2. Each rail or post on the 30" version is connected to the wall or floor by five screws. If you have dry wall, this means that three of the five screws are sure to go into a stud, making the installation more secure. The 24" version used only four screws per rail/post, so, unless you can find a way to shore up the stud, half of your screws go into wall anchors and empty space--not exactly up to ADA standards.3. The brushed stainless steel looks pretty good with the rest of our brushed nickel finishes, which means the rail feels more like an intentional design choice, as opposed to most of those fugly free-standing grab rails. Granted, that's fine if you don't mind that "handicap accommodation" look, or you only need grab rails temporarily. Personally, though, I find them depressing to look at for the long term (and did look at, for a couple of years, before permanently installing these Zelen grab rails).Cons/Suggestions1. The 24" version concealed the screws with brushed stainless covers that were threaded and screwed into place, whereas our 30" version's concealers just push into place and can come loose.2. Both versions, 30" and 24", could use some rubberized grips on the underside of the rails.3. I know it's possible to unbolt the round screw plate from each rail and trace it onto the wall, but it would be helpful if an actual template, with both screw plates presented at the right distance from each other and from the floor, came with the installation instructions. That would make things go much faster. (I don't think there's any sort of template that would help set flush the post; that just takes trial and error measurements and a leveler.)3. I wish there were some attachable accessories available (for purchase) to make these rails even more utilitarian—maybe a toilet roll holder or a remote caddy, hand towel holder, LED lights, something like that. Other toilet grab rail manufacturers have these sorts of things already built into the design of their grab rails.4. The screws provided are too short. I didn't use them and instead used 3-Inch 8 Coarse Thread Screws (that are rated for outdoor use and moisture).Overall, though, I'm generally happy with this purchase. Would recommend.
