Great Product for Support (Not for full body weight)

This is a great product to use for support. It is not made to hold or support your entire body weight. I installed this in the shower for support for my 82 year old dad. His shower has 4.25" smooth tiles and it was easy to install and works great. If you plan on installing this product on tile then you must have at least 4" tiles or larger for this product to fit. The body has raised ridges for good grip and the suction cups are really strong. Just make sure to prep the surface properly to get a good connection. I followed the instructions and used rubbing alcohol to clean the tile (I also cleaned the rubber suction cups with the alcohol). It does not damage the surface you attach it too and can be easily moved or repositioned. When moving or repositioning, be very careful to not damage the suction cups or the product may not hold securely.

Here is some information directly from the instructions that you may find helpful: "The Quick Rail is designed for use only on smooth, non-porous surfaces; tile, glass, porcelain, some plastics. Not for use on painted, papered, wood, embossed surfaces, mosaic or embossed tiles. Support surfaces should be sound and free from defects. Do not mount the Quick Rail where it will be in direct sunlight. Check the condition of the suction cups - do not use if damaged, cracked, or split."

Not exactly what I expected

I bought this for a towel bar and assumed it would be strong enough as it is sold as a safety rail. The problem is my tiles are the small 4" size and the suction cups just barely fit them so if they don't get a good surface they will not hold. I slanted the bar just enough, but still I would not trust this if it was to help stabilize an older person to get in and out of a tub/shower.

excellent

this product works perfectly. the bathroom tiles are not 5x5, so that i have to place it at an angle instead of horizontally, which is less than desirable..but the product itself is fine.

Perfect Safety Solution for Tile

This was suggested by my occupational therapist after my knee replacement. After checking the price at a supply store I found the exact same item on Amazon at a considerable savings and it arrived at my door in 2 days. I recently had a 1980's tub enclosure replaced with a walk-in 5' shower tiled from floor to ceiling. I have handicap bars outside the shower and a built-in seat but realized I needed something to add a little more security due to the size of the shower without risking damage to the expensive tile. The device was put into place in minutes by my son and can be removed at any time. The suction clamps hold it tightly with no sign of budging. It's long enough to accommodate most heights and does not detract from the look of the shower. It can easily be moved or removed by releasing the suction clamps at each end.
