OVER PRICEDEasy installationAfter my stroke, everything was impossible. My wife was having great difficulty helping me into my wheelchair and onto the sofa or bed. She found these poles, which work on vaulted ceilings. The first was a plain pole to assist me in transfer from wheelchair to sofa and it really helped me a great deal so I ordered a second pole to assist with transfer in the bedroom. The grab bar attachment, which we ordered for the living room pole, allows me to adjust my position on the sofa without help. The next issue was that we could not figure out how to negotiate three steps in my home- who knew that three small steps could be such a problem? We purchased two additional poles with the curved handles- one for each side of the stairs. It enabled us to avoid drilling holes into the marble floor and provides great stability for moving up and down the stairway. They are well-made and assemble easily (my wife is very handy). Who dreamed that such a simple device could provide so much freedom of movement and help me to feel some sense of self-reliance.When I ordered the sure pole I also ordered the trapeze. The sure pole is so complete that I have not needed to attach the trapeze! As a paraplegic the sure pole is all I need to get in and out of bed (and I'm not spring chicken) IF you need help getting in and out of bed, the sure pole is the way to go. Don't wait, get it now and give those people who have been helping in and out of bed a rest, do it yourself. IF I can do it, try, you just might find out you can too.I August I found out that I was going to have my knee implant taken out because of a Bacterial infection in the knee. that meant I would be unable to walk or stand without the aid of something. I had to start using a wheelchair to get around, and yes I do live alone, which added to the problems of doing certain things. My son-in-law installed it for me the first day I was home from the hospital, at first it was awkward, but soon I developed a way of easily getting in and out of bed and not putting weight on my right leg. I four weeks I am to have another implant operation and plan on having this up until I feel sure, also I am 72 years old, but still strong enough to lift my self up. The pole was worth the 300 dollars to me for the help it gave me.My family member lives at an assisted living facility. You know this is a good pole when the assisted living facility staff is asking where you got it and trying to recommend to other residents. The occupational therapist was successfully able to teach my family member how to use it and without it my family member would not be able to get out of bed. The handles are super helpful.I thought the horizontal grab bars were what I needed. I was right because I don't need to make like a pretzel to grab and then shift body parts unable to easily make those moves. The only complaint is the cost and the lack of choices. A retired carpenter and community volunteer installed both poles in minutes. He brought his own level.I just had a knee replacement, what a LIFESAVER this product is. I had my son put it together, took him about 10 minutes, easy and straight-forward instructions. It's very sturdy, no trust issues in grabbing on to pull myself up. It's been great for me to use to get up and down, and to push off of the handle to step over the lip of my shower entrance, almost like a crutch. The handles are great to have the two stacked to be able to use to change hands while I'm getting up, instead of starting out up high where it's more difficult to pull up from. I like that most vs other products I looked at. My sweet wife was thrilled about the look of the product, and that it matched her bronze hardware and faucets in the bathroom. :) Easy to move around as well.
