Medline Toilet Safety Rail For Seniors with Easy Installation, Height Adjustable Toilet Safety Frame, Bathroom Assist Rail with Armrests, Bathroom Safety, 250 lb. Weight Capacity

I thought I bought one that didn't attach to the toilet, BUT it does and it was easy peasy to set up. I tested it out and it is really helpful and feels sturdy. I am preparing for total knee replacement so this will help alot! I have a taller toilet so I didn't need to adjust the handles at all. I am 5'9 for reference. The videos attached to the product were helpful and I just watched those before installing.

I recently purchased this item for my mom and it was so easy to install and so far has been very durable and handy.

Very nice quality product. Just be aware that it is made for a traditional round toilet seat, not the elongated seat. We made it work with the elongated seat but it's not as stable with the work around.

I ordered one of these safety rails for my wife who just had knee replacement surgery, and it was exactly what we needed. It allows her to get up and down without much effort at all, surprising sturdy if you don't press outward on the arms too much. It's of course a bit wobbly, but with a moment or two of figuring out how to push yourself up it is quite sturdy indeed and is a life-saver. Assembly was super simple, and the bracket attaches very securely to the rear of the toilet seat in the same holes for the lid - - piece of cake. I like the ability to fully adjust the height of the arms and also of their distance apart. This unit is not designed for Olympic routines, and you can buy much more expensive units that are a bit sturdier, but if you will just think and figure out the best way to push yourself up this unit will do just fine. A quality and inexpensive solution to anyone who has trouble getting around or standing up. Highly recommended!!

This is my second set. The first lasted a few years and did a great job. Just know that if you apply pressure inward, or outward on the arms, the height adjustment buttons at the rear of the trails can and will tear right thru the paper thin aluminum tubing. It is sturdy enough if you don't put to much pressure on it. Apparently my cleaning lady leaned on it too heavily and it split the tubing allowing the arm to swing in and out, left to right. Otherwise they would have probably lasted for many years. But, I definitely got my money's worth and am pleased th receive my new set. Would recommend.

Simple design, but effective. A little shaky, but it works. I purchased this to replace one of those raised toilet seats with handles. Truly disgusting. I'm much happier with this as an alternative.

I bought this product for use during recovery from hip surgery. I installed it before my surgery. It was relatively easy to install. You have to remove your existing toilet seat to do so and mine required tools - the nut holding my seat was more than hand tight.The instructions for installation were not detailed to say the least. But anyone with decent mechanical skills will be able to assemble it by referring to the picture of the installed product, and watching YouTube videos of similar products.There are two hand-tighten-able locking nuts where the product fastens under the toilet seat, that controls how wide apart the arms are. There are two options for the width of those arms. I am a fairly narrow person and the narrow setting on this product was way too narrow for me so I used the wider setting. My suggestion is for most people except for the very petite, to use the wider setting.One feature I liked is that there is a pop-it on each arm, that can be released to swing the arms away from the toilet for those who do not need assistance on the toilet. You must be careful though to re-lock the pop-it on each arm before the person needing assistance uses the toilet. With my product, the pop-it on one of the arms was very easy to unlock and re-lock. The other arm took a little bit of maneuvering to relock the pop-it – it just wasn’t centered or something the same way. This has made things difficult after my surgery because I’m not supposed to twist so I have to ensure that pop-it is locked before I sit on the toilet.Overall I have struggled when using this product. Even when the arms are locked, the padded arm rests have some play, about an inch or so each from side to side. If someone using this product is extremely frail, I think this could be a real problem and potentially dangerous. I am fortunate to have decent leg strength so I just make sure to push straight down on the armrests and not push at an angle, though it has been a concern for me. Also, this does not change the height of the seat. As a result I have to bend at the hip over 90° when using this product, which is a no – no for someone with a recent hip replacement. For me, a product that raises the toilet seat surface by several inches is much better.This product has been helpful during my recovery but is by no means ideal. Just be aware of the watch-outs and make an informed choice whether or not this product is right for you.
