Ready Life Common Stand Help, Chair Elevate Help for Aged, Seize Bar Standing Support for Seniors, Each day Residing Mobility Support, Brown

Unknown gem
Part of the stand includes a metal bar that runs from the right side to the left side, passing behind the coccyx when you’re sitting down, and I’d like to address that concern. For our couch, the seat-back pillow on the couch is about six inches deep and removable. When placing the stand onto the couch, the bar lays on the seat and slips under the bottom of the seat-back pillow. Make sure the bar is as far away as possible from the coccyx, deeply recessed behind the seatback pillow, and the seatback pillow is completely in front of the bar. Make sure the bar is hitting the back of the couch, then put the seatback pillow in front of it. When my mom drops into the couch, her coccyx only hits the full depth of the pillow, not the bar. Further, she also uses a small pillow for lumbar support in front of the seatback pillow, so that puts even more distance between her and the bar. She’s about 190 lbs, and her coccyx has never hit the bar.There is a locking adjustment so when the bar is flush up against the back of the couch as far as it can go, the handles extend just beyond the front of the couch cushion. That puts the handles in the best position for standing up. You have to slide forward so your shoulders are above the handles, then you have the best leverage for pushing down while you’re standing up.The stand works fine for her. Handles on the right and left to push on when she stands up. The handles are easier than a shaky cane on one side that’s too high when you’re sitting, and the couch-arm on the other side that isn’t really intended to help you stand up. The handles on the stand are a strategic inch lower than the couch-arms, and are better situated to help while standing up. I’ll see if I can add a photo to the review.When sitting, she has the couch’s armrest on one side. For the other side, she has a tube-shaped pillow that I put over the exposed bar that she can use as an armrest for that side.No degradation of The Stand noticed after a year. I checked the bolts for tightness a few months ago and they were all still as tight as when I assembled the stand. I kept the large allen wrench in a drawer. The bolts have socket-heads which accept the allen wrench, and they are easy to manipulate. At once point, you will have the floor filled with large sections of railing before it’s all put together. It’s been a while, but I remember the assembly directions were sufficient.

Works with my La Z Boy
Of course, measure your own recliner chair seat width and depth, plus foot rest width carefully to be sure it will work for your recliner, but this fits fine & easily over the top of the seat cushion of my La Z Boy recliner and it can also be removed just by lifting it back off, once no longer needed. I don’t feel the rear part of the assist on my back when I sit down, but you can always add a pillow if you do. My chair can still revolve, rock and recline but this device also holds the chair still and steady, with bars reaching to the floor, when seated upright, with other padded attached bars acting as hand grips for when you want to get up out of the chair, or for sitting down in it. The leg bars of the device lift up, when you recline your chair and go back down to the floor when you move the chair upright. You can choose to attach the hand grips facing outward instead of in, if you don’t want to reach behind you when you stand up.This assist device provides the steadiness I will need to get in and out of my recliner during recovery after knee surgeries, but also make it so I will be able to rest in a comfortable chair and not have to settle for the misery of hard, straight chairs, typically advised after such surgeries. Worth every cent for that, alone!

Great product
Purchased for my 94 year old mother (who uses a walker) to use on her couch because in recent months, it was become increasingly difficult for her to move from a sitting position on the couch to a standing position. The product was easy to assemble and install, it’s very sturdy, and helps her a lot. Before I purchased it, I was worried the legs might stick out too far from the couch or get in her way, and that I’d need to worry about the possibility of her tripping over them. Fortunately, that’s not a concern at all. The legs stand immediately adjacent to the couch. No worries about tripping!

Adjustable fits under couch or chair seat easy. All tools included. No fuss set up.

Acheté pour une personne âgée ayant des difficultés pour s’asseoir et se relever d’un fauteuil. Solide et stable. S’adapte bien au fauteuil. Pas si simple à installer quand on n’y connait rien mais il y a pire. Faire plusieurs essais de réglage jusqu’à obtention de la hauteur et largeur désirées. Est sensé supporter 136 Kilos mais j’en doute. Aide vraiment appréciable et appréciée. Je ne regrette pas mon achat et le recommande vivement. Pour les personnes très corpulentes, se diriger plutôt vers le “Stander Heavy Duty EZ Stand-N-Go”. J’ai l’air de faire de la pub mais pas du tout. C’est juste que j’ai recherché ces aides à la mobilité pendant de nombreux mois (quasi inexistantes en France) et maintenant que je les ai trouvées, pourquoi ne pas en faire profiter autrui? D’autant qu’elles sont difficiles à dénicher sur Amazon car il faut trouver la bonne dénomination. Moi, je suis tombée dessus par hasard. Et il a bien fait les choses. Je suis convaincue que cette aide va faciliter le quotidien de bien des personnes âgées, blessées ou handicapées.

Très satisfait merci
