It took me a while to write this because I was waiting on it being fitted before leaving a review. This particular hand rail is longer than most which is exactly what I wanted so I could use it from the pool up the three steps, most hand rails would have meant struggling with the bottom step, this doesn't. It is perfect. It took literally a few minutes to fit. I had mine fitted in the middle of the three steps down into the pool so I could use it to both get in and out of the pool easily after having a surgery. I would definitely recommend it.
