Chair Lift Assist Devices for Seniors Elderly Sit to Stand Lift Standing Aids Supports Grab Bar Help Patient Stand Up & Mobility in Front of The Sofa, Recliner Chairs, Toilet

I had a C-section and my bed is normal height but decided to sleep downstairs on the sofa for the first two weeks. This definitely came in handy while downstairs when I needed help getting up & my husband’s hands were full because of the baby. I currently use it upstairs to help me get out of bed while I’m holding my baby. It’s a good aid for when you need that little extra help.

Works well as freestanding bed handrail. Perfect for new bed style with frame that raises/lowers head and feet, requiring nothing to fit underneath mattress (and tilt) as bed positions change.Assembly requires patience and many more washers (4 where 1 is shown, plus larger rubber/metal for steps 2 and 3) to eliminate wobble by obtaining a tight fit. Also, in step 3 when fitting part G into part D, place the supplied screwdriver into the predrilled screw hole to force the alignment from within rather than pushing or hammering G and D from the outside.

These are not real east to assemble. The screw holes were off. Pretty sturdy. Mom relies on then getting in and out of bed. These are good because it doesn't go in between the mattresses. Good for sleigh beds.I was thinking about attaching to the floor because they do move a bit and could possibly tilt to the sides. I'm always there so haven't needed to put holes in my hardwood floors.

What a disappointment! I ordered this Kavil product from Amazon - I am getting a knee replacement this summer and your seat lift assist item sounded like a great help during my recovery period.Today I tried to assemble it.Turns out, one of the four holes/joints for receiving a hand-turned bolt is missing. No hole. This is one of the two connect-points between the cross-connect bar and one of the footers.I am not going to bother returning the lift, I can get my brother-in-law to drill a hole and we'll put a regular bolt and nut through to hold the pieces together. Aside from the missing drill-hole, it was easy to assemble and a good enough support for me to rise from my bed with a newly replaced knee.But - clearly no one inspected the product. Kavil probably receive them from China, already bagged and simply ship them on. Time to take a closer look. If one part is missing on one of these, it is probably missing on others. Not everyone will have my resources, especially elderly.If quality means anything, Kavil should try to remedy this for future customers.

I bought this to help my elderly 120 lb. mother get out of bed, but as mentioned by other reviewers, the railing is too flimsy and unstable on its own. To compensate for this, I bought a 20 lb. set of ankle weight straps, placing one 10 lb. weight strap across the base cross bar of the rail and looping the other 10 lb. weight strap around the lower rail (see photos). With the 20 pounds of additional ballast, the rail seems fairly stable, and my mother feels safe using it to help her get out of bed.She previously had a bed rail with a base that slid between the mattress and box spring, with a safety strap that attached to the bed frame. If you can use that style, I think it is a MUCH safer option. However, my mother bought an adjustable bed a few months ago, and the old bed rail wouldn't work on her new bed (when the mattress is raised, there's a gap between the mattress and base that would let the railing slide around). We started looking for a free-standing bed rail to place next to her bed, and this was the best option we found. It seems like a decent solution with (and only with!) the additional weights to help hold it in place.The assembly wasn't horrible but could definitely be better. There were no instructions included, and the screws were a little difficult to get in straight and to tighten sufficiently.

Written Instructions and photos were not clear as components definitely had a specific Left or Right orientation requirement. One of the holes had to be drilled out for the bolt to align. Also the short bolts were too long and caused 3 of the caps on the crown nuts to pop off. Two of the large rubber feet that were to have been pre-assembled were missing from the assembly and not provided at all. The only saving grace earning it 2 stars vs 1, was that once assembled, it was reasonably sturdy. If not for all the effort expended in putting it together (and the additional effort it would have taken to disassemble it), I would have sent it back for another one from a different supplier.

We have a platform bed with drawers in the platform and needed a bedrail that did not need to attach to the bed frame. This product was perfect - we pulled out one of the drawers near the headboard and placed this standing bedrail in its place. We had a little trouble with one of the holes not lining up for the screws. My husband drilled it out and everything worked fine. My mom loves the location of the bedrail and the confidence it gives her in getting out of bed.

This started out with buying for an elderly friend so she could help herself from her couch. I kept it after she passed, and it was handy for getting safely in and out of the tub following shoulder surgery. Two of the stabilizer legs are foamed and get good purchase on a bare floor to keep from kicking away from you.
