Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this, after much reading.... I am preparing for recovery from a nasty surgery where I will not be able to get up and down so easy. all the toilets we have are already are the "comfort" height, which are about 2 inches taller than standard bowls. you still have some leg use to get up and down. this chair brings the seat up to about 22 inches at the highest setting. I am 5 1/2 ft tall and that works good for me. I took a lot of photos to help show more detail and how this fit in my spaces. my bathrooms are all code size (how close the toilet can be placed to walls etc.... ) so it gives you a good idea of how this will fit for you in a tighter space. now I need to say this fits me well but I am not a big person, I have 35 inch hips, I had lots of room side to side. the arms are 18 inches from one side to the other , they do not come off. I am going to try to find a larger person to see if they fit and post it up, so others can shop with more knowledge too. this was easy to assemble, the seat was the hardest part to "snap" in place, my hands give me trouble, if your not very strong in the hands, ask a friend or someone younger to help you. it comes with instructions that are easy enough to figure out, I did not need them. there are brass "buttons" that fit in openings to adjust the legs up and down. this fit both my elongated and round toilet. I did have to stuff the shield into the elongated seat to get it to line up but that was no problem at all. the elongated bowl sticks out front a tiny bit, its not in the way at all. I find it quiet stable, it will wiggle a bit if you really move around but it did not tip or slide. and trust me, I gave it a good wiggle to be sure ( I can not risk a fall after my surgery) I even did a few chair dips on the handles, they held my full weight up and down. (full weight dressed is 125# for reference) I am currently in good health for the first test. I will add to this after my surgery and I use it while in extreme pain and tell you how it went. go see my (way too many) photos and decide if this looks right for you. UPDATE: this was very handy, I found it to be sturdy to use easy to get on and off and easy to keep clean. I even used it in the shower to clean up when I could not stand yet, came in very handy. I would recommend this. I never used the bucket or the lid.
