You can't put a price on safety. We have an above ground pool with wedding-cake steps. The handrail that came with the steps was plastic and flimsy. You could not put your weight on when getting in our out. Pretty much uselesss. Came on here and found this handrail. Ordered one and had handyman install it.Loved it so much, we bought a second one and now have 2 hand rails that we can count on for safety. We can put our weight on them when getting in and out of the pool and they don't move. At all. Note: We did not use the screws that came with the rails, our handyman purchased sturdier screws for the installation. Very pleased, arrived quickly, look nice, and most importantly, VERY SAFE.
