7" - 17" Adjustable Mobility Aids Tool for Standing Up, Stand Assist Devices Lift Assist for Elderly Disabled and People with Knees Issue - Helps Seniors Get Up from Floor/Ground, Black

It is not asstable as I would have like and it would have helped if it could grow in size.Okay let's talk about an honest conversation about being older. Just recently my husband and I were looking underneath the couch for something that he dropped and then we had to realize how difficult we were going to have when we were trying to get up. I ended up getting up first but it was very difficult had we had this little unit right at the beginning it would have made such a difference. It's functional it's very useful and for those of you like myself and my husband have a difficult time getting up from a kneeling position on the floor because you've dropped something or just trying to get something out the lower cabinet this is a great unit to have around so you put it in front of you before you even go down. You'll like it a lot and you won't be sitting there either embarrassed or laughing because you can't get up like the commercial says

We do a lot of projects on our knees and the latest is hours of putting in a new deck. With older knees, that much time down makes it hard to get up with nothing nearby for balance. We tried a garden kneepad stand, but the bare metal on the bottom was slippery and dangerous on this type of surface, so we thought we would try this. It's perfect for our use - lightweight, portable, nonslip, and sturdy enough to support our weight. We just move it down the joists with the rest of our tools and kneepads. We started with all of the height sections in place but them removed one because it felt much better for us. That adjustability feature is great, and assembly and changes could not be simpler (we used a full-sized screwdriver for the final turns to assure a tight fit). This is not a lift or miracle cure - you still have to have some upper body strength to push yourself up, but it solves the balance and support issues that come with weak or tired legs without having to bend over head down and push off the floor or ground.

Just opened it and was at first going to have a hissy fit as a 75 year old fighting double pneumonia and trying to put this together. I did not know what you meant about align the bayonet and spent ages playing with that first piece not wanting to go on before I discovered that tiny sloped piece of plastic that allows only one way down. After that, I think this is going to be a great asset because I do like to clean low places etc. using my shower chair but when I slip to the floor life is suddenly very painful. I'm hoping this will be the answer. Near the top left hand side is the bit that had me going for a while.

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.

Very unstable and may easily result in slips and falls. Assembly is difficult with the tool provided.
