hansgrohe S 36" Modern Wall-Mounted Shower System - Brushed Black Chrome Finish, 4-Inch Easy Height Adjustable Minimalist Design (Model 28631340) - Perfect for Contemporary Bathrooms & Spa-Like Showers

The 36" version of this wall bar is perfect for showers used by kids, except that it's not up to any sort of abuse. The "feet" at either end of the bar that mount to the wall are narrow and plastic, and although it hasn't happened yet, my concern is that one inadvertent grab could twist it from the wall. I'd really really like this to have been constructed of heavier materials.The only counter to this is to attempt to mount it into a stud, if one is so aligned, use plenty of caulk to seal up the holes, and don't let any looseness go unchecked.The lockdown function so far is good, after a few months of use, requiring very little effort to lock or unlock. The little lever used for performing this maneuver is so tiny that it's almost impossible to ham fist it.The absurd hose is actually quite nice -- it's easy to clean, and although it comes unnaturally bent into an inflexible 'U' out of the box, a little bit of hot water loosens it up. It is good to have about 8 inches of space between the supply elbow and the showerhead, so that the hose can bend to a natural radius.My hopes are high that my concerns of weak mounts are unfounded; naturally, you'll read it here first if they fail. Perhaps this equipment is up to the task, or perhaps I'm succeeding in teaching our boys to have a little respect for the things they interact with.
