I actually got this for when I am outdoors gardening or doing that super “lower areas” house cleaning. I did not know how much I needed this. The design is very stable. This is my new buddy!

I have bad knees due to a knee injury, and I struggle to get up constantly. I always have to have someone around to help me up, or use my surroundings, but sometimes that isn’t possible. This standing aid is a game changer for those situations!
I was expecting this to be heavy, or not support my weight. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I used it with my full weight to help me stand! It helped me stand without the help of another person for the first time in years! It gave me my independence back!
It is high quality so I am not afraid I will break it, which is nice.
Overall I highly recommend!

This review is for the following item: Mobility Aids Tool, Adjustable Standing Aid, Standing Assist Devices for Elderly, Help Seniors Get Up from Floor or Ground
This is such a handy item to have around. I ordered this one as a back up to use in my garden. So I keep it with my gardening supplies.
I do like that the base is large on this standing aid. I feel it is nice and sturdy when using it on the grass. The height adjustment is easy to do. You pull out the pin that is attached to the plastic half ring, adjust the standing aid to a height that will work for you, and then put the pin back in place, making sure the half ring is up tight against the support.
It does come with a hook that you can put through the top hole to use it to hang it up. I found that the hook is very hard to open with my old hands. It does take a lot of strength, so I wasn’t impressed with that feature.
Once on the ground, by choice or accident, this aid will definitely make it easier to get back on your feet. It is sturdy and you can easily grip the handle and use it to push yourself up to a standing position.
The coloring of the black with the bright yellow accents makes it easy for me to locate this in my garage when I go out to garden. It’s funny how things move around when we aren’t looking. The bright yellow color definitely catches my eye so I can find it with no problem.

As me and my spouse age we find mobility to be more challenging so anything that helps especially getting up from the ground or even furniture this is a tremendous help! Hopefully we’ll not need it to get up from a fall but we’ll have it just in case! Very nice and adjustable too!

To assemble this mobility aid:
a) I rotated one piece (in a clockwise manner) into the base
b) Then, I inserted the handle.
c) There are 5 holes, corresponding to the varying height levels. Once I picked how high I wanted this mobility aid to be, I used the C-shaped clip to secure it.
A manual was not included. I would have liked for there to be a manual, with assembly instructions and with descriptions on how to best use this device.
The handle does not have padding. I would have liked for a cushioned grip to make it more comfortable for my hand.
The higher I adjust the handle, the less stable this aid is for me; because, when I need to lean on it (to stand up), the aid wobbles more than I’d like.
I would have like the base (which I measured as 7-inches in diameter) to be larger in diameter.
This mobility aid works well on our carpet, tile floor, and out in our garden.
Overall, I prefer to use this at a shorter height. It suits my needs well.

One suggestion is to sent it with more specific directions re assembly which while easy relatively, is not obvious and only because I could open the website page about it, were we able to figure out how to get the piece attached to make it height adjust. it allows me to use it for support from different positions fairly easily. Only somehow after my first adjustment , the piece that determines height setting , fell out unbeknownest to me until I went to use it again. Fortunately I’d noticed a piece of plastic that looked like it had to belong to something & I set it aside so was able to reattach it.

I have been living with and caring for my elderly parents. They are both fall risks.
I read this in the product description: “Aimed to help the elderly stand up from the floor or ground easily.” Unfortunately there is no way either of my parents would be able to use this to stand up from the floor.
I have no mobility issues, yet I can barely use it. It shakes when I apply almost any amount of weight to it as I stand. On our low pile carpet, it is extra shaky. I would not trust this to stay upright if my parents tried to use it. The only use of this product that might work for them is when bending over to pick up something off the floor, but even then I worry it’s too risky for them.
On hardwood flooring, the device stays upright when I use it, but I can feel it shaking as I bear down on it with some weight.
Be sure to check the sizing information for this device. Some of the product images make the device appear much larger than it actually is.
After reading other reviews, I wonder if I got a dud. I cannot see an elderly person with mobility challenges using this to get up from the ground. It is just not very solid/steady feeling!

Works great to assist me in getting up from kneeling position, but no instructions and cannot figure out how to adjust the height, fortunately the height it came as works for me. There are 2 parts that came with it in a small plastic bag, have no idea what they are for.
