I installed this handrail between my attached garage and the entry step into my house. I was initially looking at using a grab bar for this purpose, but realized that a grab bar would look too "institutional" for what I wanted, which was a transition from the garage into my home. I ordered the oil-rubbed bronze railing. It is very good quality and looks more like a stair railing that could be used inside a home vs. a garage. I wanted something that would be functional, as well as nice looking. This works for me.
