DeltaFaucet 41818-CZ Contemporary Grab Bar, 18", Champagne Bronze

This Delta Contemporary grab bar complemented the round design of the towel bars already in the bathroom. The 24-inch grab bar was professionally installed on the long wall of the shower, and it serves as a wash cloth rack as well.It does get completely wet during the shower, but is easily wiped down along with other fixtures (before getting out of the shower). It’s worth the extra seconds to prevent water spots. The chrome looks beautiful.The grab bar is much thicker than a towel rod, but it is very comfortable to grip. The end caps are stylish, but the bar has to be functional. The wash cloths cover most of the thick bar anyway.Thanks to the reviewer who suggested using silicone to keep the caps from popping off. It’s only been a few days, so I’ll be sure to report back if I have that problem despite using silicone.

The grab bar itself is solid and seems to work OK -- BUT, and this is a BIG BUT, the decorative faceplate will NOT stay on. There appears to be no way for it to remain in place. It apparently just pops on and just as easily pops right off. exposing the actual screwed plate. This is also true for our 12-inch vertical grab bar as well. I am at a loss to see how to make this stay on. Solid material, lousy design.

I received the Delta 36 inch grab bar today and had it installed. I'm a big guy and needed a grab bar for when getting out of the tub. This bar looks great and is very solid. The chrome is bright and smooth. Looks like a thicker towel bar which is what I wanted it to look like. I tested it out by tugging, pulling and pushing up on it. It passed with flying colors. Highly recommend this bar.

I love the look and practicality of this combination assist bar and towel bar. I took off one star because only one screw is used to secure each end of the bar which isn’t really enough for a true grab bar. Fortunately, I had this installed in our extra bathroom, and my mother is petite so I think this mount will be secure enough for her occasional use.Moen makes a similar product that uses three screws on each end and includes decorative covers which I would recommend to anyone needing a more secure combo grab bar and towel bar. It’s more of a transitional style as opposed to this Delta product’s contemporary style. I do prefer the Delta’s look, and I like that Delta has a matching assist bar/toilet paper holder which I had installed in both bathrooms. Both of these items also match the Delta Trinsic collection.

I wrote a review in May. I am an occupational therapist and also a certified Living in Place Professional. I ordered two of these for a bathroom renovation and during the construction time I had back surgery, so could get upstairs when these were installed. It turns out that they are not secure. The installation is the same as a towel rack-a little screw i tightened against the underlying plate. I thought it would be safer than it is. One of the towel racks has come loose on one end and can't seem to be tightened. And the first time it happened there was a regional big wig with Home Depot in the bathroom who had stopped by to see the finished results of an outside contractor who did bathroom renovations. The workmen were still there and they quickly righted the screw. a few days later it came undone again and the towel rack has not been functional. The toilet roll holder with grab bar has the same issue and it came off of the wall a couple of days ago. Ii will now have to install a regular grab bar. It is even funny that I was also particular about insisting that wingets be used.

I read every review and agonize over each purchase decision, so I'll provide the info I'd want to know myself. Reposting this review for both items...I was looking for modern non-hospital-looking grab bars for my bathroom remodel. I ordered two different styles and sizes of chrome Delta grab bars: #41924 square/angular and #41824 round, 12" and 18" for each style (see photos). All 4 were extremely heavy and substantial. Not flimsy or wobbly. They seemed gigantic for being the smaller size grab bars. (I included a Sharpie pen for size comparison.) I prefer the square "escutcheons" to the round...more modern and the angular rod seemed much narrower vs. the beefy round style, but they're listed the same size. I'm returning all 4 because each had a problem. The round had faint unshiny stripe marks in parts of the finish. The angular was really bad because in both bars the chrome finish didn't match (rods vs. ends) and the seam between them was really noticeable. At least on the round one, the seam was close to the edge, so it was less noticeable. The center rod looked almost stainless vs. the beautiful chrome ends. Overall the round bar had a better finish, but still nowhere near as gorgeous as my other Delta hardware ("Ara"). All 4 items were purchased separately from AMZ and had return-worthy finish issues. In case you're researching, my other selections: Moen 8" rainshower head, Purelux flanges, Kohler flip fixed shower head, Danze 30" Versa handshower bar set, Delta Ara 6 setting trim + rough-in, Ara tub faucet and Ara vanity faucets, Kohler medicine cabinets, Quoizel Stream LED lights. It's exhausting! Good luck.

We have purchased 4 of these in different sizes to make our bathroom safer. They are very sturdy and look great. There is one problem with the 24" grab bar though. The decorative mount-plate cover on one side will simply NOT stay on. No matter how often you attach it, it pops off within minutes.It must be warped or defective in some way -- how do I replace it?I just noticed Amazon.com is the seller. There is NO WAY to contact ANYONE at Amazon ever -- Amazon's Customer Service is non-existent. I'll try to contact Delta.

scale too thick. I know it's better for safety but the thickness overpowers the other fixtures. Not using in the intended bathroom but keeping it to mount elsewhere that will fit better. Seller should picture in actual setting so buyers aren't decieved by scale of it to eliminate the surprise when you open it. However It is well built and quality materials.

We love the design, functionality and quality. Stylish and solid.We feel it's worth the price.
