GreenChief Foldable Toilet Safety Rails, Stand Alone Suite Handles with Suction Cups, Freestanding Toilet Bars for Elderly & Handicap (300 LB)

I recently had foot surgery with strict orders for “non-weight bearing” for several weeks. This product has been a life saver. It was easy to assemble. While it is light weight, it provides the stability needed to get off the commode without assistance and enough stability that my foot hasn’t been needed for balance. It is freestanding so no installation is needed for use with the commode. I really like this feature because it can be moved to a different bathroom as needed. We are using it in a small bathroom. The size of the railing works well in a small bathroom.I will say normally, I am an able bodied person without other health concerns. This product does come with 2 suction cups to adhere it to the floor for more stability. If the user has other impairments, needs transfer assistance normally, or is a larger person please investigate more since this has a light weight construction.

put together in 5 minutes, seems sturdy and it folds to use anywhere it's needed.

The item was extremely easy to finish putting together and seems to be made of sturdy components. After putting it together and installing it over the toilet, the safety rail is not completely stable. However, after rechecking all the parts and connections, I feel confident it is safe and strong enough. I am in my 80's with compromised knees and the safety rail is a great relief to them. I would recommend even with the initial question regarding sturdiness. I think it is fine. I also like the fact that it is very easy to fold up and store or travel with.

After orthopedic surgery, I had some difficulty getting off the toilet seat. I tried free standing raised seat with rails, and although may good options available the small opening made use very difficult. This device does not raise the toilet seet, but does give handy rail to help getting up. As noted by others, it is stable when pushing up. Sideways pressure may cause it to slip. The unit is light, easy to move from one toilet to another and is helpful. No other temporary rail device is as convenient and light. Your needs may be different, but this rail system works best for me.

Exactly what I wanted for our guest bathroom that my father-in-law uses when he visits a few times a year. We only want it up when he comes so it was important to be sturdy but easy to take out and put back. This is exactly that. It also folds very flat, about 4 inches total, so it tucks away neatly in a corner of the basement when not in use. It even stands up on its own against a wall when folded because of the suction cups on two legs. Very satisfied.

This was easy to put together and is adjustable which is great. However, it is very wobbily because of the all the flexibility in adjustment and not being actually fastened to anything (free standing). The large suction cup feet help and should be provided for all four legs. We found they worked best on rear legs and floor needs to be a solid floor (no carpet or mats) for them to work. They dont actually suction to the floor very well because even when clean, the floor just isnt clean and smooth enough, but the large surface helps with stability. Best to use two hands when lifting off toilet, using one hand makes the rails very unstable. Its a good option and see other more expensive ones that attach to the toilet or have a way to brace against the toilet that likely are more stable than this one. It can fold up like a walker when not in use so that is good.

Very stable, makes all the difference having something to hold onto.

This is my 2nd purchase. Bought one for my home to help elderly mother using toilet. She wanted one for her own home as she preferred it to the grab bars she has. Item is very sturdy and easy to assemble and adjust to necessary height. Definitely recommend.
