North American Health and Wellness - JB4349 Deluxe Toilet Safety Support

Works very well, strong when weight distributed over both handles. Also, easy to put together and very light making it easy to move away from commode for cleaning, very helpful for helping sit down and stand up. Very happy with this helpful support product.

Since my surgery,I had a hard time getting up ! This bar is so very helpful when I'm trying to get up !!!

Great product. I have been nursing a bad foot (crushed calcaneus with two surgeries) since Dec 2012. This device has been very helpful. You do have to remember, though, that it is not anchored to anything, meaning you can tip it over. Great product, easy to assemble, and does the job for me. I am a big man (300 lbs) and the support has held up fine.

Yes, it assists a person by offering a place to put your hands and almost acts like a second pair of steady, sturdy hands helping to lift you to a total standing position. If you put your hands on top on the foam part of the handles an apply the pressure of your weight in a downward motion it works really well and assists you in standing up. It works with different types of weight too. You cannot pull the arm handles towards your body from a seated position and expect it to magically lift as you cannot put all weight on one side. Logically, you're trying to tip it in some way. People say it tips and it's not sturdy...well first are you applying you body weight on the device properly and second the thing is not bolted to the ground. The device as a whole is not super, super heavy but its NOT plastic, it's metal. It stays on the ground and again if used properly, it helps. With MS it helps and with arthritis in the knee it helps my Mom that's all I truly know from expeiences. Dad said the top screws were a little too long and he had to get shorter ones at Home Depot (nickels and dimes). The rest came fine and using a philips screwdriver took very little time to put together. It's a great product for the price and even holds "reading material" for the extended toilet visits HA-Ha.

This has been a real knee-saver. It works even better than I thought it would. I have it partly on a rug, so it can be made to wobble, but it doesn't wobble at all when I'm actually using it. I weigh 200 lbs and I feel very well supported. I think wobbling would only be a problem if one isn't using equal arm pressure to raise or lower oneself.My husband (who is not the handy-man type) had no problems putting it together. He said the screws were a little long, but I didn't notice. For us it didn't matter because our toilet is in an alcove. We decided not to use the magazine rack. It was a bit flimsy looking.I just wish I had thought of getting it sooner.

This is a sturdy, well designed unit. It is relatively easy to assemble and is sturdy enough to support my 250 lb. frame. My knees are very arthritic, so I need the support when getting off the toilet. It is unfortunate that it isn't a fold up type unit since I travel and occasionally get stuck with a non-accessible hotel toilet. I have to disassemble and reassemble it when traveling from hotel to hotel. My wife has made a sturdy travel bag that the unit fits into nicely. It's a good buy for the money, but, like I said, it would be even better if it folded up. I would glady trade in the magazine rack for foldability.

I recieved this safty rail today. I also saw that the long screws are just a little longer than the small ones - you have to look closely. The screws also didn't turn by hand, so I used a small adjustable wrench ( a 5/16 inch wrench or a 8 mm wrench might also work) along with a Phillips or a Flat top screwdriver. The kit did not have the 4 caps which fit over the screws, but I can get them at the hardware store. It didn't fit real nicely in my bath room, but that was my fault because I didn't mearsure first. I think it's a nice sturdy piece which will last for years.

I didn't care for this item because it was light weight and made cheaply. When using the item it shook and tipped. It was also made too wide. I think that was one of the reasons it wasn't that sturdy or steady. Spend the extra six dollars and get the good one. I did. And I'm happy I did.
