Stander CouchCane, Standing Assistance Aid for Adults, Seniors, and Elderly, Chair Lift Assist, Standup Support, Adjustable Mobility Couch Rails, with Safety Grab Bar Handle and Organizer Pouch

Every caregiver that has seen this has been impressed by it—family, nurses, and professional care providers. It has an adjustable base to fit under the feet of one side of pretty much any couch. It proved sturdy and very helpful for over a decade (still in excellent working condition).Depending on your set up, I recommend checking it from time to time to make sure that it is properly positioned under the feet of the couch, just to be sure. I think I had to adjust it one time in 10 years.My father had limited mobility and usually slept on the couch in the living room. He often had difficulty getting himself off the couch to go to the kitchen, bathroom, etc. pushing himself up from the couch from behind with both arms on a soft cushion with nothing to hold on to while regaining balance. This handle allowed him to pull himself up with one arm and hang onto it for stability until he was ready. If legs are not fully reliable, one solid additional point of contact can make all the difference.The couch under which we placed this device was fairly heavy. I have not tested it under a lighter piece of furniture or with a person over 180 lbs. I did test it myself before installing it for dad, and recommend caregivers doing the same.Based on my experience, this product is sturdy, extremely helpful, long,-lasting, and well-designed. It provided a lot of comfort, knowing that dad had something to hold on to. (He had helpers, by the way, but was strong-willed).Overall: fantastic reliable product. Test it yourself in your environment. I would not hesitate to recommend this for an aging parent for someone with limited mobility.

The product itself functions as advertised, it does seem to creep out from under the chair over time but that could be the chair feet rather than the device itself. Certainly sturdy enough to help a fairly large man (6-1, 280) up after surgery. Easily height adjustable.

I am very happy with purchasing this sturdy couch cane . I also purchased the try table piece separately that matches up to this cane . Now my father can use it to pull up to stand out of his favorite chair . WIth the tray he can easily eat and drink from a nice device that is adjustable and works with the chair as if it was tailer made for it .. Cane and table are very solid , strong, convenient, easy to setup, and portable enough to move to another chair if necessary . I would like to have this on all my furniture . Only slight setback is the cost but warranted with the quality .

We had to be a little creative because grandma's chair isn't as compatibly shaped as we would have liked. Also, we ended up buying her two because pulling from one side was bothering her one side. Probably cause by twisting in that direction. Also, if you have a recliner, you need to be aware of how to set it so it doesn't interfere with the footrest opening out. Anyway, it works great

Reliable product, provides good strong support.

Do not buy. Very pricy, unstable and wobbly handle. Unfixable.

UPDATE !!!This company is a CLASS ACT! They went far and beyond my expectations in resolving the problem.First-Class customer service. If you have a problem, keep your cool and call them. They will make it right !The welds for the plate where the bolt goes in and frankly the material itself is thin and poorly done. Both bolt plates have snapped out of the frame in the exact same place in less than 2 months.I purchased 2 thinking these were perfect. Far from it. Very disappointed.Upon closer examination, you can see a major issue here. The interior of the tubing is rusted, and you can even see the edge that was supposed to be welded WAS NOT because it's covered with rust.This really looks like a QC issue.I'm going to take them up on their replacement offer of course and I will adjust this review and update it as required.05/14/17 - Email sent to Mfr with pictures.05/16/17 - Bumped up to 3 stars for the EXCELLENT responsiveness by Justin at Stander. They really do seem like they stand behind their product and care about the issue. 2 replacements are on the way. Will re-asses when they arrive and see how they perform.

Bought it for my 90 year old mother. She is having difficulty rising from a seated position and this product has helped her greatly! I would highly recommend.
