4.0 out of 5 stars A Useful Assistive Device, May 28, 2010

This item is a fairly useful device; however, in order to be used with the chair for which I intended it, the rear cross brace on the base needed to be left off in order to slide the unit under the chair, which made the assembly less stable. Be sure that the base of the unit will fit under the chair or couch you are using, and be aware that if you wish to use it with a recliner, the front of the assembly will prevent the extension of the footrest when the device is in place.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great idea but screws need constant tightening to remain solid, July 8, 2011

I bought this for my blind, elderly father to help him out of his favorite chair, a recent pin-stroke has left him with weakness on his left side & raising himself is now a challenge.
Assembly is easy despite the provided illustrations; when first assembled the unit feels fairly solid given the lightweight materials and is a big help to dad in raising himself out of his chair. The handles adjust so I'm sure it would function well for people of various heights. Dad is 5'6" & 112 lbs and it works well for him; a larger, heavier person might find the unit a bit flimsy especially after some use which is wherein the only issue I have with the unit arises. I have to check the assembly screws & re-tighten them every few days or the unit becomes quite wobbly. If not I fear the unit would eventually come apart & dump dad as he tries to raise himself. With that warning I recommend the unit; if the person using it is elderly or blind & unable to regularly tighten the assembly screws they may well be in for a nasty fall. Since dad lives with my wife & I and I can regularly tighten the unit it works for our purposes; were he living alone I would seek another solution.
For the price it is a decent, functional solution --just please be mindful of its' limitations before you buy.

Even brand new and with the screws tightened, it still wobbles. I wouldn't trust anyone to this flimsy device, so I'm returning it for something better.
