I recently fell down a flight of stairs and broke my ankle and a couple fingers. While preparing for surgery, I searched Amazon for anything that might help while I spend 6 weeks non-weightbearing. I quickly found that getting up was a challenge unless I had something tall to push myself up with. I also live alone so it was important for me to be able to get around my home without assistance. I can more or less only use one hand and one leg so it was an extra challenge!!
This looked like it could do the trick and it sure has!! I’m so happy I tried it. I bring it in the bathroom when I shower, and the rest of the time it sits next to my armchair where I’m spending 99.5% of my life. (If I wasn’t unemployed due to covid I’d probably buy a few extras, but I can make do with one). Makes getting up sooooo much easier and safer than just using the arms of the chair. The extra height really helps. (The picture shows the height of this compared to my arm chair and the kitchen table next to it.)
It definitely is more for pushing than pulling. It’s reasonably steady/stable when pushing. I found it can tilt a bit so I tilt it before trying to stand up, so I’m not surprised by any sudden movements.

I bought this for my sister. She loves it. It really helps her to feel more steady getting up and down to transfer from her shair to wheel chair and visa versa.

Yes, this thing does the job, but it is NOT free standing. That is, if you set it up as in the picture, it’ll fall over. To use it, it needs to be leaning against something. This is a bit strange. Also, the assembly directions are poor, as has been pointed out already. But you misassemble it a few times, and finally you get it right.

Advertised as, “Portable bar helps you rise from seated position.” I bought this for my mother who is elderly and has difficulty getting up from a seated position. Any force applied to the device in a direction other then straight down, tips the device over. Of the visuals included in the advertising for this product, notice what you don’t see–a video of an elderly person using the device to get up from a seated position. What is included are photos with at least one hand pushing straight down on the device. Pulling on the device from a seated position just tips it over. In my opinion it is false advertising.

This product is great. It’s sturdy and really helps my mom. I returned the first one I ordered because it had the screw hole issue that people have complained about and was frustrated when the second one did as well…until I discovered that switching the pieces left to right solved the problem. The seller would save a lot of money and get better reviews if they added stickers so that the right parts would go together. I’d give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the assembly issue.

I bought this for use with a leather recliner that my mother sits in but never reclines. There is a 1.5 inch gap between the floor and bottom of recliner so this is perfect to wedge under the recliner. The weight of the recliner and snug fit make it sturdy. Depending on the level of assistance a person requires, it may not be sturdy enough if it cannot be securely wedged under the furniture item. However, it is perfect for us and I have noticed her using it more confidently every day.
You will need a phillips screwdriver and your own 5/18 inch wrench to assemble. The wrench provided with the stand was way too difficult to use. I needed a thicker/sturdier wrench. Once I had the correct tools, it was very easy to assemble.
