Here we have two rounded, silver metal bars that are shaped like large squares with rounded corners. Affixed to a bathroom tile wall, the squares are arranged one on top of the other. Each corner of the sqaure has a circular wall mount attached to more piping to make the handle bar protrude slightly off of the wall. The bottom square includes a mini rubber shelf between the wall and the bar, and a small, round rubber stopper near the top corner.

Two silver squares, about a square foot of area each, made of a single strip of brushed metal tubing with curved edges. The tubing is meant to fit in your hand. Each edge is secured to the wall with supports of the same material that stick a couple of inches from the wall. Closest to the wall, there are round discs of the same material around each support. One square is attached to the wall just above the other. The lower one has two hot pink silicon additions. The first is a shelf, which connects the bottom edge of the square to the wall. The second addition appears to clip onto the back of the right edge of the square. It has two short edges that stick out perpendicularly from the bar, and the right side has a wider end than the rest of the addition, much like a nail. The background is white tile.
