FSA/HSA Eligible Toilet Safety Rails, Adjustable Toilet Frame for Elderly, Seniors, Handicap & Disabled, Foldable Handicap Toilet Handles Fit Any Toilets (300 LB)

I had faltered after reading most of the 1 star reviews. But, in ordering and easily putting together this more than very firm safety rail, I found it surprisingly solid and usable for my aging wife. If there is a negative, it would be that yes, if "much weight" is put on one side 'only', it could tip. But, I’ve watched (and tried myself), and with her small frame, I doubt there will be any tipping. For us, the option of a 5" riser attached to the top of the toilet is not an option for my 5’ wife unless I were to built a step to the toilet; (no!). For those well over her short 110 lb frame, a ‘high rise’ may work fine. -- Now, as to the suction cups, no, they give no gain on our tile floor. Sure, the tubed rubber feet slip a might but it has been minimal. -- As to the sponge pads for the back rail, they are overly cheap and useless and I can't see anyone really using them; an insult to the solid frame. Their form and elasticity is a shame; 1 out of a best of 10. I will be purchasing a peace of 3/4 in. x 6 ft. Foam Semi-Slit Pipe Insulation to rather use from HD ($2.11). -- And no, the very 'solid' fitting adjustable back rail bars fit not behind the toilet seat on our toilet as they may for many. -- So, I unfeelingly give it all a 5 star because as in 'our' case, I'm more than impressed with how solid and usable the unit is. -- As to tipping, if side mount refillable water containers were to hang under the rail bar on each side, any sliding and or tipping very likely would be alleviated for taller and or heavier individuals. As for me, I even like using it "as is" for my ‘comfort’ and I need it not. To my surprise, I’d say, anyone heading into their 70’s or 80’s should have one! To the 90 year old, use both hands on the side rails to set down, or get up. For most that would be simple.

I thought for years about such an aid and now that I have this one, my life is remarkably easier. It was particularly easy to install, with a clear instruction booklet--no need for tools. I have a couple of quibbles: The suction cups might be handy for some people but to move the stand when those suction footpads are installed, you would need to bend down to the floor, locate a small transparent plastic tab and lift it up, for 2 or 4 of those suction cups. Not easy for many older folks.Also, though it is advertised as foldable, it isn't, or at least not in the way that a walker usually is. To "fold" it you would need to detach its two parts, and then you would have, not a folded item, but an item in two distinct parts. However, it would be readily storable without occupying much space if you wanted to go to the trouble of taking it apart in that way.For my situation, neither of this issues matters much but for some people they might be important.

I had foot surgery and will be in a cast and boot for 6 weeks and I'm not allowed to put any weight on the cast or boot in order to heal properly. Easy to assemble - my 16-year old wanted to put it together for me and did a great job following the instructions. I didn't want to drill a handle bar to my wall as I'd have to remove it, patch, and paint after my cast is removed. So this is perfect as it's temporary and will be disassembled and placed back in the original box for storage in case needed in the future. I like that it has bars on both sides, which makes it easy for balance and raising myself up and down on the use of just one leg. It's also adustable for height and width so you can customize it to your comfort and style/size of your toilet. I'm glad I came across this on Amazon, else using the restroom with crutches would've been a nightmare multiiple times/day!

Compare to some others we've purchased, this one is sturdy and you don't have to mess with re-tightening screws or it lifting up easily if lean to heavily at the end. However, you need to check (especially at lower settings for shorter people) the space between your toilet seat cover and the back bar, especially if you are a man or just cleaning and need to lift up both seat & cover. It's tight so it can cause the cover and/or seat to tilt forward then fall down. However, is you push the bar back further, it'll scratch up your toilet seat cover. They do provide a pretty cheap Styrofoam padding which is more like simply package stuffing/wrapping to protect scratching but then that makes the bar even thicker and less space behind it when you need to lift the lid/seat. I think if they had modified the bar shape or even put some sort of coating/covering that doesn't scratch yet keep it "thin" like they have around handle grips on certain garden clippers or dolly handle grips it could fix that problem. For this "fit/space" issue and scratching is why I can't give this a 5.

We read the reviews beforehand and most concerns were about the feet not sticking to the floor. We decided to chance it because it looked very sturdy. We changed the feet from the stoppers to the suction feet. The feet do not suction to the floor but that does not matter in our case. It works very well for my husband who currently uses a walker ( sometimes a wheelchair) due to immobility problems brought on by chemotherapy medications. Now I do not have to assist getting him off the toilet, he can do it on his own. He has regained a bit of dignity and self reliance with having this equipment.

I had a right knee replacement surgery on my knee , it was a great help to have this toilet assist unit. Your knee is very weak and it assist your ability to seat yourself on toilet and mainly helps you raise your yourself back up.
