Vive Toilet Safety Rail - Adjustable Grab Bar - Compact Support Frame with Handrail for Bathroom Toilet Seat - Easy Installation for Handicap Senior Bariatrics, Elderly Balance - Padded Hand Armrest

This is a must have if you need support getting on/off toilet. For the price it is a life saver. Sturdy, comfortable, not bulky, easy to install. Recently wheelchair bound but able to transfer independently and this product helps me feel safe and supported and be able to toilet independently, which is just all around nice to be able to have some dignity!

This device has been a blessing. My mom has Parkinson’s disease and uses many adaptive devices to help her get around. This is one of my top picks. I didn’t want anything with legs for fear of her tripping so when I saw this I knew it would be perfect. It stays in place and rail width is adjustable. A well worth investment for anyone needing assistance with toileting. Super easy to install, too.

Easy to install. Solid and very supportive. Does not shift or move around at all. I had foot surgery and can’t have any weight one that foot so this has been a blessing.

When installed CORRECTLY, this thing is amazing, extremely helpful, sturdy, and everything I was looking for. HOWEVER, installation instructions that come with this are NOT correct and the manufacturer should change that immediately.Every single bad review with a photo shows this device installed incorrectly.I removed one star because of the incorrect instructions and this could cause serious incident.

There are quite a lot of form factors for the idea of adding grab bars to a toilet, but this seemed the least intrusive. We have a standard size American toilet with the toilet kind of tucked away between a wall and a cabinet so there isn’t much room for the variety that stands on the floor. My only concern was how sturdy the rails would be, but they are extremely sturdy. They attach to the bowl using the same screws as attach the seat, the base of the rails sitting on the bowl under the seat mount. I actually purchased some stainless steel bolts in case the plastic type bolts that are pretty standard with American toilet seats turned out to be too flimsy seeming. I didn’t use the stainless steel bolts because the standard plastic bolts secured everything with a tight grip and no play in the attachment. We’ve found the rails very secure and helpful for accessing the toilet, without getting in the way at all. The adjustable width between the rails allowed us to customize the fit for comfortable sitting and standing up. The overall construction quality is high, and the installation took maybe ten minutes. If I needed another one, I’d buy this one again, which I guess sums things up nicely.

Nice, sturdy quality, easy to install, very helpful when I had surgery and could not bear weight on one of my legs. Just what I needed!

Easy to install, clean and looks good. Works perfectly for anyone that needs a little help getting up from the toilet. Does not interfere with the usage of the toilet and easy to clean around.

User is 79, 4' 9", unstable (in more ways than one), 125-130 pounds. Her eccentric ways immediately pointed out the reality/limits of said device. It needs a cross brace across the front (like others on Amazon) to stabilize it which of course then blocks, the toilet itself. This "unit" (79 years old), decided to attempt on the first try, a "right turn clyde" lateral move instead of using both arms to stand up in line with the toilet. User error -100%. Thus the flattened steel that sits under both seats twisted outward on the "starboard" side. One would think we were splitting atoms over here but if this "unit" had simply used the arms properly and stood up in line, then everything would have been fine.So, I was surprised by the heaviness of the box it came in. I thought this was going to be some strong plastic or thin tubular steel. No sir. This product is robust and I am very pleased with that discovery. Second, (as an IT person who has done years of of tech support and writing), the labeling of the parts is excellent. Third, the manual says on the first page, give us your constructive criticism (in their own words). Humility. Fourth, the parts are labeled in a picture on the early pages of the manual. Fifth, the manual has a good sized font, is in English and is well written and organized. Sixth, in the early pages it says to go to the YouTube video about this (yes, outstanding!). Seventh, clearly, they tested their own instructions, edited them and honed them down to actual work. Eighth, you do what they tell you and in about 10-15 min, you will have it assembled and installed. Ninth, the price was right.I read the other reviews and understand the objections about stability but you need to think about how else you could do this. My view is that you would need that tubular stainless steel bolted to the floor and the back wall to have an absolute stable system and this does, to the degree possible what it can. Ceramic will crack if you put too much stress on with clamps (think tile clippers), especially given that cheaper toilets are made in china. (small "c" intentional) This "American Standard" toilet was just replaced because of a vertical tank crack that caused a leak. (only 2 years old). That's a manufacturing flaw. Just look at the sheet rock and wood flooring scandals from China. Maybe, on the flat steel sitting under the seat, a kind of "bend" could be made like the wingtips on a Boeing, so that the arm cannot splay out and would simply "catch" the inside of the bowl. (Maybe that has already been considered)Last, you might want to give thought to cheap toilets that have plastic bolts holding the seat and this brace if the user is heavy. Watch the ceramic however if you start thinking metal bolts. (Talk to a plumber) The entire purpose of this product is to keep people moving and independent because if they are not, you have to go to diapers and urine proof bed covers or bedpans. If they are not using your toilet and this product, then they're probably bedridden which is a 24/7 op.This company cannot make the product any more robust than it did and thus I recommend it for its purposes and with all mentioned caveats in mind. Well done on the thought and preparation of your product.
