 Couch Cane Review Nov 10, 2007
By ATP
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.

 not quite what we were looking for Jul 09, 2007
By Laurie J. Neverman

I purchased this product for my mother who has a degenerative muscle disease that has weakened her muscles so she has problems standing. My hope was that it could be installed to act as a more stable armrest on her couch. While the product was easy to install and is very sturdy, it mounts in such a way that it is in front of the couch. It cannot be moved closer to the person who is seated (like an armrest). This requires the person to pull themselves to a standing position with the couch cane. My mom is not strong enough to do this after she has been sitting for a while. Redesigning it so that the person who is seated could push themselves up using the product would make it make more useful.

Much Nicer Than Expected Aug 07, 2009
By Jen Savoy

I bought this about a month ago, and apparently it had been redesigned since the photo shown here. It is very sturdy and the appearance is nicer than I had expected. It was really easy to install and I think the redesign eliminated the problem some reviewers seem to have had with the bolts because mine only needed one bolt in one place. I had abdominal surgery and could not get up without help before I got the Couch Cane. Now I just use the Couch Cane and I don't need anyone around to help me. It is nice to enjoy the independence I am used to.

Good product but labeled wrong Dec 24, 2008
By D. Held
The Couch Cane is great. My elderly mother likes it a lot. When it was shipped, however, I did not receive all the correct parts. I had no part #4 but two parts #5. I called the manufacturer and they said they would send me a #4, but again I received a #5. Eventually I got it worked out.

the best Jan 07, 2008
By spgettykid
i purchased this for my father who just couldn't get out of his favorite chair. it works great. its like he's 10 years younger now. he just bounces out of the chair by holding onto the handle of the cane. i would recommend this product 100%.
