Mobility Aids Tool Help Seniors Get Up from Floor/Ground, Adjustable Standing Aids & Supports Equipment to Stand up, Stand Assist Aid for Elderly for Work or Housework- (Height 7-17")

I’m a big guy….350 lbs. And now that I’m older, it’s a lot of wear and tear on my knees when I stand up after being on my hands and knees on the floor. Because I have an elderly, incontinent dog, I’m now on my hands and knees cleaning up accidents more than I would prefer, and this device has been helpful in that regard. Some people have complained that it’s too short, or too wobbly. I’m 6’2, and it’s the perfect height for me (I used all of the segments when I assembled it, so it’s at its maximum height.). Keep in mind its sole function is to aid you in standing up. It’s not a cane, so once you stand up, it no longer has any functionality. Regarding being wobbly, it is dealing with a lot of force when someone my size puts all their weight into it, so some amount of wiggle should be expected. However, if you’ve positioned your weight directly above the handle when you go to stand up, the small amount of wiggle should not make you feel insecure when standing up. One note: if you are looking for something to help you stand up when sitting on the couch or sitting in a chair, this is probably too short to help you. I think this is just to get you off the ground.I ended up buying a second one, to have at the other end of my house for convenience. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with this if your goal is to get some help standing up from being on your knees.

If you have bad knees and ankles that are week or pop or catch when going down to the floor and never near a piece of furniture. I can truly say it is safer than someone using all their strength to get you up. I can't help my husband so when I handed it to him for the 1st time he got to experience what I've had the pleasure of using a few times already.It seems like this, a cane and a few other items should be an automatic from health care when ya start experiencing ankle, knee and hip problems. Great invention.

I have bad knees, this helps me get up when gardening.

This was horrible. The base of this was so small it was more of a hazard than trying to get up/hold your self. It was easy to put together but it was very poor quality. My husband husband (40 yrs old) tried using it and it was not able to keep balance. I think the bottom needs to be wider

Product is easy to assemble and adjust height, it's strong, durable and lightweight. Just what I needed to get off before easy when I'm gardening or other on the floor activities. Great product.

My husband said "I don't need that". I bought it anyway. Now - anytime he goes out to pool/yard - he never forgets to grab it. It is literally the best product I could have bought for him!

I am 6', 190, arthritic, over 65. Could not get up with this. Stick not even tall enough to get leg power. Spouse 5'4", 140, healthy, over 65. She could not get up. I have a 30" bamboo cane. That does it. Can get legs straight enough.

It was not sturdy until I cut a portion of the center pad that was higher than the base!
