Vive Toilet Safety Rails for Seniors - Adjustable Grab Bars for Toilet - Toilet Safety Frame - Toilet Assistance for Elderly & Disabled - Toilet Seat with Handles - Bathroom Assist Bar Support Aid

Works great for toilet on/off assist for stroke patient.

I'll just say I have had this for a year and it is still working great! Very comfortable to use. Easy to assemble.

I have purchased 4 of these units in the past 6 months or so. These units have had slightly different mixes of features. Depending on which set of features you get, the overall quality ranges from 3 stars to 5 stars. However, I have noticed that the more recent purchases had more of the better features so hopefully these are product improvements being worked in as production goes along, and that all future units have the best feature set.The variable features are 1) the ends of the vertical legs, which may be round caps such as on the end of a crutch, or wide suction cups, and 2) the method of attaching the arms to the mounting plate under the toilet seat, which may be detent pegs or screw-in wing nuts. The 1st 2 units I purchased had the round cap leg ends and the detent balls. The 3rd has suction cup feet and detent balls, which was a bit better. The 4th and most recent had the suction cups and the wingnuts, which was the best.The detent balls, especially with the round cap feet, allow the arms to wobble a fair amount, which is a problem for users who themselves are wobbly. This is the 3-star version. The suction cup feet limit arm wobble a lot even with the detent balls, but there's still some wobble. This is the 4-star version. The wingnuts plus suction cups make the arms totally rigid. This is the 5-star version. Hopefully this will be the configuration from here on.Regardless of version, all these units assemble and mount to the toilet very easily, like in about 5 minutes. Any difficulty with installation will be due to the existing toilet seat mounting hardware, not this unit. As the toilet seat has to be removed and then reattached, certain types of mounting hardware are easier than others. So your mileage will vary depending on your pre-existing toilet seat hardware.

Went together easy and works great.wp

So here's the review:This item is SO great! I never realized just how much I could love a set of toilet rails. It's my new favorite thing, replacing peanut butter cups.Right now I'm doing gymnastics over my toilet, having realized that these are really just an extremely short set of paralell bars. I'm hanging mid-air in an inverted pike position. How great!The people who made these really knew what they were doing. They managed to include a steam-punk sort of industrial design with actual functionality. So clever.Ya gotta love the color, too. It's somewhere between a gun metal grey, and a gun metal grey.I'm still trying to figure out what the purpose of the suction cups on the base of the legs is, since they don't adhere to my smooth, tile floor. If I had to guess, I would say these are dual-purpose, allowing the user to ascend the tallest of glass-clad skyscrapers.One hint to new owners: If you detach one, or both legs you can place a roll of toilet paper on there. In that position it will act as a passive absorbent, sucking up random liquids on your bathroom floor. It will also lend an "interesting" look to the unit, and a great conversation starter.As I've said, I simply wanted to give this five stars.

This is a great idea but not good because I’d it’s not sturdy. I finally got around to having it set up and there’s gotta be a better way. Elderly people count on sturdiness and this is not sturdy enough. As far as I’m concerned the only thing that is keeping it on the floor or the two suction cups that’s it otherwise it’s wobbly if the suction cup comes up on one side and you put pressure on the opposite it will definitely Come up possibly hitting the individual trying to go to the bathroom. I know I missed the return date and that’s fine but just so you know these are the issues with this item. But I think I will do is have someone glue the suction cups to the tile floor so at least it would be a little stable with that, but the item itself still wobbly.

This was a great product that I got for my parents but I could really use it now for my other half after his hip surgeries.

Let me add to what others have written before - this product is unstable and dangerous. There is no rigidity to the mounting design - where the aluminum tubes attach to the robust steel bracket there is only one bolt per side - which can not be tightened down sufficiently. The bolt becomes a pivot point. The arms splay out and bend in about 3 inches in either direction. If the infirm individual makes the mistake of grasping only one side, expecting it to be solid, they will be shocked to find they are already falling in that direction - and if they are heavy I have no doubt they would bend and possibly snap the arm off on their way to the floor. the suction cup feet will not adhere to a bathroom floor unless it is polished tile/marble with no joints, which would be extremely uncommon. so the suction cups are bouncy and the arms depress about 1/2" before the ends of the arms touch the floor. Very disconcerting. I bought this for my elderly, installed it and gave it a test run. I was freaked out myself by the wobbliness! As a professional installer of ADA handrails and the like, I think this product should be off the market or significantly redesigned. We returned the product and opted for the "Adjustable Handrail Assist Grab Bar by Vaunn ", which is not perfect but loads more stable.
