 OK if it fits! Oct 21, 2007
By Barry Dorfman
I returned this item because the specs on the site did not match the item. The specs state arms are min 24in off the floor. In fact the min on the item turns out to be 27.5in, way too high for the short stature person the item was purchased for. The specs on the site also state a 10in range of adjustability. In fact the range is just under 5 inches. If it fit the person I think it would work fine. I do not think this was Amazon's fault. I looked on the manufacturer's site and they had the same specs. I called the manufacturer and they were surprised to learn the item did not match their published specs.

Excellent product Jul 03, 2006
By Michelle A. Zimmerman
I have MS and have a hard time getting up from the toilet when there is nothing to grab ahold of. This product works great! No more struggling to hold on to anything other than the bars on the Medline. This is one of the best products I have ever purchased.

Higher than described... too high for me Dec 01, 2009
By Charlie Howard
The description says the height range is 24" - 29". In fact, it's 28" - 32". That makes the rails uncomfortably high for me, even at the minimum 28" setting. I am not short: about 5'10"; but it's hard to get any leverage from these rails when trying to stand up.
Carex makes a set of rails that are 2 inches shorter than these, and work well for me. Should have gotten those instead of these.
Another reviewer warned about the error in the product description, but it didn't register, unfortunately.
Another difference between these and the Carex rails is the handgrip material: Medline uses hard plastic, while Carex uses firm foam rubber. The rubber is a lot more comfortable on the hands, but the plastic probably is easier to keep clean.
Both brands are very well made, very solid. Actually, except for the height and handgrips, they're virtually identical, as though they came off the same production line.
If I can find shorter rails, I'll return the Medline product.

 Highly Recommend! Sep 19, 2007
By L. Berkey
My only regret is that I didn't have this product months ago, even before hip replacement surgery. It's sturdy and makes a tremendous difference in the process of getting up and getting down.

Need a little Help? Apr 20, 2009
My Mother will be 100 yrs old this year so she need a little help getting up and down. She is short 5'2" and I was concerned that the arms might be to high for her on a regular toilet but they turned out to be just right. I used the lowest settings for the legs and the closest of the two settings where it connects to the toilet. To attach The safety rails just remove the two bolts holding the toilet lid on, slide the new safety rail bracket between the toilet and the toilet seat, replace the original toilet lid bolts, insert one rail in the bracket then insert the other rail in the bracket, install the two bolts that attach the rails to the bracket, then thighten up all the connections. Make sure all connections are tight or the safety rails will feel loose. The rails will raise up a small amount to allow for cleaning of the floor under the feet. The safety rails have been a great help for her.
