I purchased and installed this about two months ago, but removed it after using it once or twice. There is almost no deterioration, and there are no noticeable stains. There is also no rust. I used one of the included step adjustment plates, so there are two remaining. Instruction manual is included. There is no box. Everything in the photos is included. This is a handrail for bathing that combines safety and ease of use. - Model Name: UST-130 - Color: Red - Accessories: Hex wrench, step adjustment plates (2) - Safety Standards: SIAA certified (anti-mold treatment) Thank you for looking.
