Vive Stand Assist - Mobility Standing Aid Rail for Couch, Chair | Assistance Handle for Patients, Elderly, Seniors and Disabled - Adjustable & Portable Safety Grab Bar for Sitting, Sofa, Home

Easy to assemble, I got this for my moms lift chair to give extra bracing in getting up. Her chair cushions don't lift up so we placed it on the seat cushion and shoved the back end under the back cushion, works just fine. It does give her more stability in getting up, It adjusts in width to fit a chair or couch cushion, simple metal tube construction, lightweight and it does add a good level of safety in providing stability.

Easy to put together. Really helped my mom to get off the couch. So simple but totally works.

I didn’t want to buy this, it seems expensive for what it is. But I’m currently using a walker and am non weight bearing for months still. My bed is too low for me to stand up using my one good leg and without tipping the walker over. I did it for a couple weeks but the struggle and angle caused muscle pulls/tears and I was in danger of not ever being able to get up out of bed unless someone was here to help me. So, I caved and bought it. It’s still too expensive for what it is, but it has made getting up easier and at least one of two pulled muscles has calmed down. In this regard, it has been very worthwhile. I have been using this on top of the mattress, note that the instructions say you can use it on top of the mattress or couch cushion as long as the two arms sit far enough back from the edge. It’s not been a problem for me at all but I could see some people using it wrong and injuring themselves. Make sure it sits back at least 1-2 inches from the edge!

works as advertised. Put under the sofa cushion for better leverage.

Sturdy, easy to install, helpful for seniors to get out of a couch. I bought this for my 84 year old father who has recently needed to use a walker for stability. He wasn’t able to sit on the couch because there wasn’t anything to help him leverage up to standing. He put this on the couch and can now safely sit and stand without help. We did have to put a sturdy cushion on the couch, like the kind you might put on a stool or chair, but overall this product has met expectations.

Loved it until one handlebar broke. My husband was pretty good at breaking things. To clarify, he'd sometimes put a lot of pressure on things that I wouldn't have put so much pressure on. Sometimes it was hard to know if they broke because he was just a big guy and his first reaction if something seemed stuck was to push harder, vs. just backing off and trying to figure out what is causing the problem -- which would be my first reaction to a stuck thing. So we had a a broken dishwasher handle, a broken chair handle, broken recliner leg rests, and then this thing. Maybe some of those items weren't made very well, but I never had so many things break when I was single. So, I think the breakage could have been partly his fault. BUT ... this thing is designed to help people with mobility issues. It really shouldn't have broken, even with Mr. Clumsy using it. That's why I'm only giving it 3 stars. We had gotten good use out of it for maybe 4 months, though, before it broke. So I didn't try to contact the manufacturer or anything. And during those 4 months or so, Mr. Clumsy loved it! It did make it much easier for him to get up from the couch.

I didn't like it. It works for what it's intended to do (help you out of the seat), but it's wobbly and doesn't make the person using it feel secure. I even tightened the screws as far as they would go. I threw it out, l love my family too much to risk their safety.

Very easy to put together and works very well for assistance getting up. We just bought this one to replace the same one we’ve had for 6 years. The only reason we needed to replace it was due to the screws falling out and getting tossed by our aged loved one-otherwise it’s really sturdy. The depth is perfect for standard chairs or couches. Highly recommend for anyone needing assistance getting up.

Très utile pour personne agee qui avait du mal à se lever

Fácil de montar y muy útil

Lo compramos para la abuelita. Muy resistente, muy sencillo de armar y muy seguro

Loved this. I bought it for a relative whose degenerative health conditions means he now struggles to stand up from the sofa. Easy to put together, cheap, looks neat, natural and dignified when in place, is safe, and most important - it works! It has given back my relative independence in sitting downing and standing up, and an extra lease of life to the sofa - expensive and complicated to replace. It has bought us time, assisted in quality of life and dignity to a fiercely independent person. Sometimes it is the small things in life....heartily recommend and my gratitude and thanks to the makers / sellers.

I am so glad I bought this. It has made getting up so much easier!! Easier on my knees and will help me gain strength. Update. After over 4 years, this is still the best and most helpful aid I have purchased. By being able to get up easier, it helped improve strength in arms and legs. Relieved the stress of struggling! It is fairly easy to switch over from sofa to the bed. It works with my bed, on mornings when I have stiff knees, like now (in the fall) Still really glad I bought it. Still sturdy, like new.
