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")

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.

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.

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

I love this tool to help me get up off the ground from a morning of weeding. It works well. The problem is that unless you move it around the yard with you, it's often not in the place where you need it to be to get up. Aside from that bit of usability, it's a remarkably study, useful tool. My recommendation is to be consistent about keeping it with you as you move down a border or row so that it's there when you need it!

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.

Good idea, but at maximum height, the base width seems too narrow unless on flat, near perfectly horizontal surface. in daily use on surfaces such as grass or carpet, small tilts tend to cause it to tip as the center of gravity shifts close to the base edge. The multiple sections are held together with a pin-screw combination requiring a small Philips head screwdriver to secure (one is provided). Would be more convenient for use, carry, and quick length-adjust if spring-loaded, snap pins were used.

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.
