I bought this for my mother's house, to provide something to hold on to when she steps out of her patio door down a couple of shallow steps into the garden. It fulfils this purpose very well, giving a choice of two or three places to hold on to, depending on whether one is stepping up or down. The handrail is quite heavy, but the width of its base together with the anchor bolts provided give a really solid fixing to the brick wall with no perceptible wobble. The anchor bolts are much better than plastic "rawlplugs". A spanner is also provided, but I used a longer one to be able to tighten the bolts a bit more. I used a 10mm masonry bit, not provided, to drill the holes for the anchor bolts. She is very pleased, and so am I.
