Stander Heavy Duty EZ Stand-N-Go Bariatric, Chair Lift Assist for Elderly, Grab Bar Standing Aid for Seniors, Daily Living Mobility Aid

Sturdy and safe for very overweight people and feels secure

The Occupational Therapist that came to my house told me this was a great assistive device

This helped tremendously with getting up and down off my couch after my hip replacement.

A little finicky to put together but I figured it out. Even with the screws fully tightened it still feels a little shoogly but it might just need time to get used to. I would definitely supervise whoever is using it at least at first as my mum feels a little unsure about it and I want to make sure it will be steady to support her as she stands up. I think the hand grips could use another couple of holes so you can raise them a little. I am definitely pleased it sits flush with the sofa as I was worried it might stick out like a trip hazard but it doesn’t seem like that will be an issue. A little padding on the hand holds might be an idea but overall I’m satisfied with it.

This product has been a life saver! My husband had ballooned up to 360 lbs and was unable to get up and down without help. I ordered this 2 days before he was hospitalized for 5 days. My son in law helped me get a bed moved into the living room and put this product together for me but I could have easily done that part myself. To say my husband was weak when he came home would be an understatement! He lost 22 pounds of fluid in 5 days but still was needing to be pulled up while in the hospital. At home with this device he was able to use his arms and legs to raise up and sit down. It saved my body as well as his. He is down another 12 pounds of fluid and continues to improve and uses this device multiple times daily! It is very sturdy and has no trouble with his weight. My only complaint is that the pegs that slide through both bars to hold the hand grips on fall out often. I feel there may need to be a pin and clip there in stead of the way it slides in. But even that flaw doesn’t change my opinion of this product. For both of us, him the person using it and me the caregiver that is no longer the pulling post, it has been excellent!
