Stander Heavy Duty EZ Stand-N-Go, Adjustable Standing Mobility Aid, Chair Assist Grab Bar, Bariatric Stand Handle, (Eligible for VAT Relief in the UK)

Sturdy and safe for very overweight people and feels secure

A little finicky to put together but I figured it out. Even with the screws fully tightened it still feels a little shoogly but it might just need time to get used to. I would definitely supervise whoever is using it at least at first as my mum feels a little unsure about it and I want to make sure it will be steady to support her as she stands up. I think the hand grips could use another couple of holes so you can raise them a little. I am definitely pleased it sits flush with the sofa as I was worried it might stick out like a trip hazard but it doesn’t seem like that will be an issue. A little padding on the hand holds might be an idea but overall I’m satisfied with it.

The device fits our large sofa where previously my wife used the arm on one side and the seat on the other. Now the device provides stable grips of equal height and makes standing a lot easier. Waiting to discuss a VAT refund.

The Occupational Therapist that came to my house told me this was a great assistive device

This helped tremendously with getting up and down off my couch after my hip replacement.

This product has been a life saver! My husband had ballooned up to 360 lbs and was unable to get up and down without help. I ordered this 2 days before he was hospitalized for 5 days. My son in law helped me get a bed moved into the living room and put this product together for me but I could have easily done that part myself. To say my husband was weak when he came home would be an understatement! He lost 22 pounds of fluid in 5 days but still was needing to be pulled up while in the hospital. At home with this device he was able to use his arms and legs to raise up and sit down. It saved my body as well as his. He is down another 12 pounds of fluid and continues to improve and uses this device multiple times daily! It is very sturdy and has no trouble with his weight. My only complaint is that the pegs that slide through both bars to hold the hand grips on fall out often. I feel there may need to be a pin and clip there in stead of the way it slides in. But even that flaw doesn’t change my opinion of this product. For both of us, him the person using it and me the caregiver that is no longer the pulling post, it has been excellent!

This did not work for my recliner, as my chair did not allow it to open enough to not crowd the seat (no part of the area under the arms is available-so it can only go to the inside of the arms), and because of this, it was too close together on the seat, and also for the hands too, when you sit or get up. Very well made though, but possibly a different design that goes on the outside of the chair instead of the inside arms might be a more universal fit? Instead I bought the Stander Recliner risers on Amazon, which were a lot cheaper, and still make it easier to get up without all the setup or cost of these Stander Chair Assist Grab Bars. Actual assembly was not difficult-the hard part was getting it all back in the box to send back! Luckily my wife has a better head for puzzles and got that done, but even she had trouble!

Review: Disappointing Performance for Bariatric Needs While the Stander Heavy Duty EZ Stand-N-Go is marketed as a reliable mobility aid for the elderly and those requiring bariatric support, it ultimately did not work for my husband. We had high hopes for this product to provide the independence he needs, but it fell short in a few key areas: Stability Issues: Despite being labeled "Heavy Duty," the frame felt less secure than anticipated when under full weight. There was a noticeable amount of flex that didn't inspire confidence during the transition from sitting to standing. Fit and Compatibility: We struggled to get a truly "universal" fit on his recliner. Even after following the adjustment instructions, the handles didn't sit at a natural or ergonomic height for him to gain proper leverage. Ease of Use: For someone with limited strength, the grip placement felt awkward. Instead of assisting his upward momentum, it felt like he was fighting the frame's positioning and movement. Final Verdict: If you are looking for a heavy-duty solution for a loved one with significant mobility challenges, this may not be the robust support system you’re expecting. It might work for lighter assistance, but for true bariatric needs, we found it to be inadequate.
