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

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.

Bought this for my husband after his knee surgery because it was very difficult to get up from the sofa. It is sturdy, well-made and works very very well. Recommended.

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!

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.

I bought this for my Aunt whom recently had stroke. We put this under couch cushion and it works tremendously!! She does not have to scoot etc. very durable sturdy and does not weigh alot so she can move it herself. Very simple to put together! Price was great also!!

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.

Waste of money. 3 major complaints. 1. Very thin materials used. Not strong enough 2. Way too wide even in the narrowest setting. Unusable. Not at all like in the product photos. 3. Height above the cushion is only 1” high. Terrible design all around.

This is the most helpful in getting me into a standing position when I'm weak. By the way, it works just as well on a sofa with fixed cushions!!!!!

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

Muy buen producto, excelente calidad de materiales, muy fácil de ensamblar, ligero y práctico. Yo tengo problemas con mis rodillas y con este soporte se me facilita mucho levantarme del reposet que es muy bajo e inestable. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Fácil de montar y muy útil

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.
