I am disappointed in the frame as it is not nearly as sturdy as I expected it to be. It wobbles when being used and is not what I wanted but I have to use it as I am having a knee replacement next week and have to have something.

1.0 out of 5 stars Toilet Safety Frame not very safe..., March 23, 2006

John is right. I received, installed, and returned this product in the course of an hour. If you are concerned for the safety of a loved one as I am, you are doing a tremendous disservice to him/her by installing this product. Please do not let the low price and FREE shipping influence your decision as I did. Contrary to its name, it is not safe at all. The legs lift up easily and are not secured to the floor. The joints are all wobbly and cannot be tightened. Overall, the entire unit is very unstable and has a very cheap feel. It is easy to imagine someone falling to the side and bringing the frame and the entire toilet seat with him.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not worth a sit? Not true!, June 14, 2006

If economy is your primary consideration, and you don't have balance issues, this frame is more than adequate. Following my second hip replacement I removed a standard toilet and "booster" seat and installed an ADA height toilet plus this frame. As I suspect is true of other frames of similar design, the arms are wobbly in a horizontal plane. But they are secure when putting weight on them when getting up or down, which is their primary function, and the conventional toilet seat is rock solid (unlike the booster seat which rocked from side to side). The arms adjust easily (without tools) to three widths on either side, a feature which contributes to the wobble. That the legs raise is important to me as I want to be able to clean the floor regularly. I would recommend this frame for hip or knee replacement patients but not for the elderly, nor for anyone with balance problems who might be inclined to lean to the side or put all their weight on one arm.
