Great product! Fast delivery, just take it out of the box, clamp it on the tub and you're good to go. Very stable and you can put it in the best place along the tub to accommodate your patient's mobility limitations. I'm a rehab therapist who bought this to help with showering safety after my hip replacement and liked it so much that I bought one for my parents' tub, and will recommend this product to my patients in the future.

I bought this product for my elderly mother. I am very pleased with it as well as her, it grips the tub well and supports her weight.

Installed for an elderly person. The construction of this product is top notch. Quality materials throughtout. It does take some adjustment, but it is easily installed and is rock solid on the tub.

you can't tell from the picture, but this bar is made of mostly metal. the only plastic part is the knob, and although it feels like it will snap off (instructions emphasize NOT to overtighten), it didn't. the bar attaches very easily to the side of the tub, and feels very sturdy. it supports up to 250lbs, but is not meant to be used for leverage (pulled sideways).

the side of my tub is thinner (in width) in the middle than on the ends, so when i fixed the bar onto it, the inside jaw was slightly skewed to compensate for the sloping. it still holds very well, no wiggling.

the grip on the bathtub bar can be very slippery, especially with soapy hands. i am thinking about getting a grippy sticker or something to put along the handle. this might make it a little safer for me.

overall, this is a great product for the price!

The description says 7 inch tub. The instructions accurately say 6 1/2 inch, and that made all the difference in fitting my tub (which is just a small fraction above 6 1/2 inches).

The product looks well made and solid.

I'll delete this review once Amazon updates the specs to show the proper size.

We bought this to use when older relatives visited. We wanted to give them the security of a handrail while using the shower, but didn't want to change our custom tile in the bathroom. This is a very sturdy, well made product. It is easy to set up and to remove. Provides our visitors that extra feeling of safety. In fact, we will take it with us on car trips with older relatives to use in hotel rooms. Highly recommend this product for anyone who might have visitors needing extra shower support.

My bathtub is custom made; the sides are wider than most. This fits wonderfully, as it is adjustable. I weigh about 245; it supports my weight with no trouble.

Very easy to set up (took less than 2 minutes) and it works great - my bathtub is much safer now and I have no fear of falling. I definitely recommend this item.

We tried other expensive bathtub bars from local hardware stores. This Medline tub bar does what it is advertised to do. Works good, strong, excellent price. We highly reccomend this item.

The previous reviews are correct. This does not fit on a 7 inch tub. The insert with the bar says 6 inches.
It does appear to be a good product- very sturdy.
It is heavy and I am not looking forward to how much it is going to cost to return it.
