Customer Reviews of Medline 24 Inch Grab Bar, Knurled Chrome
Customer Review: Good bars, great price, work fine, but what's up with....,.
Summary: 4 Stars
Greetings.
I purchased 3 of these Medline Knurled Chrome grab bars(2-24" and 1-32") for my father. I needed the "knurled" feature as these are for the shower stall, and thus needed the texturized grip.
The knurled part of the bar has excelent grip in both wet and dry conditions, and each bar comes with 6-2" wood screws and 2 white rubber installation-end-gaskets to cushion the bar against the wall for installation. They do not come with the plastic anchors for the screws that you need for installation into a concrete wall, those will have to be purchased seperately.
That being said, it's a bar that doesn't stick out too far from the wall, just about 3" (this is important if you have a small-to-medium sized stall, as the bars will reduce the space to move within the stall by anywhere from 3-5" in most cases, PER each side of the stall having a bar). Continuing,.....it's a bar, it works, it looks 1/2 way decent, it does its job quite well and it was/is relatively cheap via Amazon with the Free Super Saver Shipping feature.
The only complaints I have with the bars, are not so much with the actual bars themselves, but rather with two facts.
Fact one: Each bar comes in its own retail box, true, but, during the mailing of the product, Medline packaged each retail box seperately in a HUGE carton shipping box, with lots and lots of padding, so I received 3 incredibly huge-for-the-content and overly stuffed (paper stuffing too) carton boxes. This may seem like a pet-pieve but this just seems senseless for a company to do, especially when the object is to save money when you're shipping for FREE (they tripled their shipping costs and tripled their consumption of paper based shipping materials), and especially when all of the bars were ordered form the same vendor in the same order at the same time, and when part of the FSSS feature is to have the items come in as few shipments as possible. It just seems ecologically unfriendly for the times.
Fact two: The Medline bars, both the 24" and the 32" are advertised as 1.5" knurled diameter bars, but what I received was 3 bars of 1.25" (0.25" smaller) knurled diameter bars (stated on the retail box). I could see maybe one of three bars or maybe the 2 bars of 24" being the lesser-than-advertised diameter, as maybe they were out of stock, but all three? Somebody made a typo on the Amazon description page. I now live outside the continental 48 and it'd be too expensive to send these back up, so I'll just have to live with someone else's mistake. (Thankfully my father has smaller hands than me, so maybe this was supposed to be, but still......advertise it correctly or get the order right, otherwise don't send it out I say).
Thus based on those two facts, the bars get 4 stars, and not 5, for their rating. Then again, shipping was FREE, so what am I complaining about?...lol... you get the picture.
Ok, that's it, hope this helps you. Cheers!
