Stander CouchCane, Standing Assistance Aid for Adults, Seniors, and Elderly, Chair Lift Assist, Standup Support, Adjustable Mobility Couch Rails, with Safety Grab Bar Handle and Organizer Pouch

Every caregiver that has seen this has been impressed by it—family, nurses, and professional care providers. It has an adjustable base to fit under the feet of one side of pretty much any couch. It proved sturdy and very helpful for over a decade (still in excellent working condition). Depending on your set up, I recommend checking it from time to time to make sure that it is properly positioned under the feet of the couch, just to be sure. I think I had to adjust it one time in 10 years. My father had limited mobility and usually slept on the couch in the living room. He often had difficulty getting himself off the couch to go to the kitchen, bathroom, etc. pushing himself up from the couch from behind with both arms on a soft cushion with nothing to hold on to while regaining balance. This handle allowed him to pull himself up with one arm and hang onto it for stability until he was ready. If legs are not fully reliable, one solid additional point of contact can make all the difference. The couch under which we placed this device was fairly heavy. I have not tested it under a lighter piece of furniture or with a person over 180 lbs. I did test it myself before installing it for dad, and recommend caregivers doing the same. Based on my experience, this product is sturdy, extremely helpful, long,-lasting, and well-designed. It provided a lot of comfort, knowing that dad had something to hold on to. (He had helpers, by the way, but was strong-willed). Overall: fantastic reliable product. Test it yourself in your environment. I would not hesitate to recommend this for an aging parent for someone with limited mobility.

I am recovering from Major Back Surgery and temporarily sleeping on our sofa on ground floor of our home until I can safely walk up the 14 stairs to our bedroom on 2nd floor - so I am sleeping on a sofa in our family room - this Couch Cane provides stable support that allows me to SAFELY lie down and pull myslef up to sitting position when I wake up - without it I struggled to find support - especially getting into sitting position after waking up. Prior to getting the Couch Cane I found myself falling off the sofa trying to bring myself to sitting position on the sofa after waking up - now - using the Couch Cane - pulling myself up into a sitting position and swinging my legs over the side of the sofa is very safe and easy - I would strongly recommend this product.

I am very happy with purchasing this sturdy couch cane . I also purchased the try table piece separately that matches up to this cane . Now my father can use it to pull up to stand out of his favorite chair . WIth the tray he can easily eat and drink from a nice device that is adjustable and works with the chair as if it was tailer made for it .. Cane and table are very solid , strong, convenient, easy to setup, and portable enough to move to another chair if necessary . I would like to have this on all my furniture . Only slight setback is the cost but warranted with the quality .

I bought this product because my mom no longer could get up from her couch on her own. I came across this from a Google search and the reviews are right this thing is great! It's heavy enough that it does not move and the handle is adjustable! It has a few little pockets and they come in really handy for storing her remote, phone, and her water bottle so they can be handy for her at all times! This has to be one of my best purchases this year!

I found it necessary to move my 98 year old grandma in with me. I had a large recliner that was too difficult for her so I bought an old fashioned smaller base recliner. It is also a rocker and she enjoys the rocking but it was still difficult to pick herself up from the chair. She is petite so the smaller base sits her best. I decided to buy two of these Couch canes. I realized before buying that one would not be enough because you would be pulling yourself sideways as you arose. I was able to buy one with a table and one without. Problem though was that the metal platforms on each can did not fit to a small base frame. The frame length is adjustable but still to long for the small base. My husband is a welder and welded on an extra plate to each cane. So now they are perfectly aligned. My grandma was receiving home health nursing and therapy. None of the ladies that came for the visits had ever seem these canes but very impressed with the way grandma learned to stand straight up from the chair. She eats her meals on the table and the system is perfect. I believe that no additional adjustments would be needed with today's bulky type chair/couch designs.

Misleading photo.. ​Title: CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE: Base Bar Too Wide for Safe Use on Many Recliners ​Rating: 1 out of 5 Stars ​I purchased the Stander CouchCane through Amazon to provide necessary assistance for my father, who has a condition involving muscle weakness and balance issues (Myasthenia Gravis). ​Unfortunately, this product poses a serious safety hazard and is not compatible with all recliners, despite what the description implies. ​The critical flaw is the minimum width of the anchoring base bar. Even at its narrowest adjustment, the bar was still too wide to fit correctly under the primary weight-bearing structure of our standard recliner. ​For a mobility aid, stability is non-negotiable. Attempting to anchor the wide base bar under only a narrow portion of the chair, like a rear crossbar, would create a dangerous leverage point. The unit would be highly prone to tipping or pivoting forward when the user applies pressure to stand up. ​Warning: If the base bar does not fit perfectly and securely under the weight-bearing legs/structure of your chair, DO NOT USE IT. This product failed to deliver on its primary promise of providing safe assistance due to this fundamental design limitation. ​I am extremely disappointed that this design oversight could lead to a fall for an elderly or physically challenged user. I will be returning this product immediately.

I found this item to be very helpful for several members of my family who, due to age and/or medical conditions, have difficulty getting on or off the couch safely and in/out of my recliner. It is stabilized by the weight of the furniture so it works best on the sofa. Very stable and capable of handling a person's full weight. I wouldn't suggest using it for total support on a recliner but more of an assist device for getting to the edge of the chair and added stability when rising. It assembled fairly easily even though there was an error in the instructions concerning where to use the shorter bolt, but I figured it out and reassembled it with no further problems. Took me about 30 minutes and I'm probably a B- handyman kind of girl. I was in the medical equipment business for a number of years so I'm pretty equipment/safety savvy. I do think the Healthcraft Advantage Pole is a more sturdy, really safe transfer assist device. But it must be bolted to the floor whereas the Couch Cane is portable. This device has worked out so well that I'm getting one for use at my sister's home and my mom's.

We are using this for elderly mom, so it's easier for her to get off the chair. It's a heavy product - which is nice. She likes it, and it seems to make a big difference in terms of making her feel more stable standing/ walking around it as well. She is right under 5 ft and 100 pounds, so the couch cane is set to its lowest height setting - it feels very solid that way. I think this will work well for her. If you are on the heavier side and/or very tall, then this may wear out a little more easily over time.

It’s a really good product easy to assemble. Very good for helping me to stand from armchair. The tray is useful.

Although this is a pricy item, you can't really put a price on safety. The chair cane is very heavy, solid metal and is adjustable to length under your chair or couch and to height depending on how tall you are. I recommend for best results to use it with a couch or heavy chair. My mother is 95 and has trouble getting up and down from a couch. This item is extremely sturdy and doesn't move when she's trying to get up from sitting. Very well made.

Le produit a été offert à une personne âgée sans handicap particulier, mais aux articulations raides et à l'équilibre instable. Succès total pour se lever du canapé avec un effort moindre et sans risque de chute.

What do you buy your mother for her 92nd birthday? Well this couch came support handle went down really well. She had been having difficulty getting up from her sofa and this has made such a difference. It fits under the sofa so is really secure and doesn’t wobble. She found it so easy to pull herself up. Love it and highly recommend it.

Easy to put together and appears to be very sturdy. Might need assistance to put cane under chair but no problems apart from that. Makes it much easier to get out of my armchair now and provides good support. Recommended product and well worth the money.
