I got them out of the box, put the rubber base on and slipped them under my bed posts as recommended. I sat on the bed and BOOM! the two at the foot of my bed SHATTERED with just me on the bed (I am only 5'2"!!!) I bet all 4 would have exploded under the weight of me AND my 6' tall boyfriend.

These are promoted to help elderly people be able to get in and out of chairs, beds, etc. OMG, I cannot imagine the potential injury to someone who actually needs these due to arthritis or a hip replacement; we bought them just to have extra room under the bed.

Overall these feel cheap:
· They are hollow, so of course furniture will bust right through the top, it is only 1/8" thick!
· The wells to hold the feet of furniture look deep in picture but are VERY shallow (easy to shift out if they don't break first)
· You only get 4 rubber rings to put on bottom edge to protect floor, but you get 8 lifts. I bought them to use on our couch and bed, but I couldn't use both sets due to only 4 floor protectors
· They smell horrible out of the box

THANK GOODNESS Amazon has such a painless return policy.

PLEASE AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE! They can potentially hurt you or your grandparents. They are not worth $25, not worth 25 cents!

Was unable to adjust my chair due to pain in shoulder and hand. This allows me to do so. I was able to put it on the handle by myself,at age 82 years of age. The delivery was very fast,and price most reasonable I found was at Amazon.

I purchased this lever extender back in March 2007 for my husbands recliner. He couldn't bend to the side enough to be able reach his recliner lever to work it up and down. It works great! He can work it with no problem. I put the Standers Lever Extender on myself in about two minutes with the tool that was included in the package. I was able to tighten it on securely. Six months later took this handle off this recliner and put on his new one; still stays on tight. This lever also makes it possiable for someone standing beside the recliner to work the lever for the person in the recliner.
Today I'd came back here to order one for my recliner! I'm a short person and have alot of trouble reaching the handle to get my recliner back or up. I'd known that I wanted one for my chair also but just hadn't got back to do it; and then I saw that I needed to write a reveiw to let everyone know this really works "buy it you'll like it"

I bought this for my elderly father. He could pull the recliner lever back, but had a problem getting it pushed all the way forward. This lever extender solved the problem. It's very sturdily made, installed in just a couple of minutes with the included allen wrench. The handle has a grip-textured finish. The tubing it's made of is heavy grade, not flimsy, and the hardware is very good quality, too. Solved the problem and I expect that it will last for many years - probably longer than the chair.

I am an Ergonomics Consultant with VERY short arms. This product looked like just what I needed to be able to reach the handle on my recliner without over-extending my right shoulded. I injured it about a year ago, and it has been difficult for me to reach the handle more than ever.

Unfortunately the design of the product made it only slightly easier for me to reach the handle and the hard metal handle stuck out into the walk way and I must have hit my leg on it 5 times before I decided to return it. I applaud Standers for their attempt at addressing this issue, but they missed the mark in my opinion when it came to design.

I just had back surgery and was instructed not to BEND, LIFT, or TWIST (BLT). I also had to lay flat on my back most the time. I tried to recline in my sofa-recliner which involved BENDING in order to reach the handle, TWISTING my waist in order to grab the handle and LIFTING my weight back with very little leverage provided in my weakened and painful condition. Then I saw the Standers Lever Extender and hoped it was the solution to managing my recliner. It arrived in a few short days and I knew it was something special before I even opened the box! It was much heavier than I imagined it would be, and that heft meant quality! Made of solid steel, I knew I could count on it. My boyfriend said it was so easy to assemble too. This handle makes reclining effortless! I'm glad I found this since I plan to continue to enjoy it even after I heal. My boyfriend is even getting one for his side of the reclining sofa. And the price was right!!!

I have arthritis and it is very difficult for me to pull the lever on my recliner so I can lean back. This lever extension is great - it is comfortable and easy to hold onto, making it so simple to lean back or to close my chair. A great item!

The Standers Lever Extender for Easy Chairs is exactly what we wanted. It goes on easily, looks good, and works perfectly. For people who have trouble pushing the chair's built-in lever to raise the leg-rest, it is a great assist.

I have severe arthritis in my right shoulder. This device "sort of works." I don't have as much pain as I had before I put it on.

Had an extender like the Standers given to me by my grandson christmas of 2009. A friend of mine's mother had trouble reaching & pulling on her recliner lever. I told her about my wounderful experience with the extender after my heart surgery. I ordered an extender for her mother, a second one for my wife. This is a wonderful device and easy to install. They even five you the allen wrench to install it. I gave the extender to my friends mother who said thank you and I was correct the extender was a life saver. The Standers lever extender is awesome.

Amazon, as usual, delivered my order well packed, promptly, and delivered on time as promised on my order. Keep up the good products and services Amazon.
