Who it helps

This may help people who find getting up, sitting down or moving between seats hard; and people who feel unsteady while walking or standing; and people who want everyday tasks to take less effort.

Check before buying

Set all four legs to the same hole and check each push button clicks fully through. Put it against a wall or firm support so it can't tip backwards, and keep the rubber leg tips in good shape.
Check the weight capacity, dimensions and installation requirements on the manufacturer's page.
Check return policies in case it doesn't suit you.

Limitations

This is safety equipment: a poor fit or installation can make things less safe, not more. An OT or physio can help you choose and set it up.
