I am an occupational therapist in the home setting I purchased these items regularly. We are very sturdy and extremely helpful for my patients to prevent falls and assist with sit to stand transitions.

Not sturdy, Legs/arms are wobbly, too much play with the attachment bar that attaches to the metal toilet seat base. Legs also tilt up too easily.
If you have a lower toilet seat like we do (seat 16" from floor), even the lowest adjustment hole is too high to keep an even arm. The adjustment holes are really for higher seats. I wish I had installed this when it first arrived, because I would return it to get a sturdier one for my elderly mother. For now this will do until I can research a better one.

I purchased this in September for my 93yr old grandma it is so wobbly that she is more willing to grab almost anything else to get up from the toilet.

Due to the fact there are no supports to ensure the front legs don't wobble/move it is not a safe item to use for her. Basically it acts like a cane instead of a support to ensure she can get up. it would need some type of device to secure the front legs to the toilet so they move less. this item literally spreads like wings when she tries to get up. The button locking option that secures it to the back of the toilet doesn't keep it secure or stop it from going upward so it lifts just like the seat would.

I am really disappointed in the item I purchased to ensure my grandmother's safety and independence for certain aspects of her daily routine.

We bought this frame for my wife's sister who was recovering from knee replacement surgery. She told us that it did help her. It's not meant to be solidly rigid like grab bars fastened to the wall, especially with sideways loads, but she found it worked well to provide her with that bit of extra support she needed in getting up and down. Kind of like a walker helps to stabilize a person. And because the support is on both sides of you and equally in line with your direction of motion, I think this tends to work better than a single grab bar mounted on the wall as in handicapped restroom stalls. The frame is supposed to be rated at 300 pounds weight capacity. While I can't vouch for the 300 pound maximum capacity, I can say that it will support hefty people but I better not go into details so I don't get into trouble with my relatives. If you have any doubts about load bearing, position a helper to assist a new user until they get comfortable with going on their own. I think most people, even those who are weight-endowed, will find they do OK once they get used to it.

The frame is attached to the toilet using the same bolts that hold the seat on and it was easy to attach - just unscrew the nuts on the seat bolts, lift the seat off, place the safety bar frame on the toilet and reattach the seat with the bolts passing through a bracket on the safety bar frame. All the hardware lined up fine and the bars themselves are height and width adjustable so unless you have a really weird shaped toilet you shouldn't have any problems.

I have MS and bought this "look alike" product to replace a sturdier one that broke after a couple of years. These take a lot of pressure to transfer to and from a wheelchair and this product bent, wobbled, and failed after just a few weeks. The light weight aluminum tubing is not tight in the plastic housing so it wobbles and ultimately bends more and more outward making the transfer more difficult. Medline makes a similar product with heavier weight aluminum and a tighter fitting housing and I am purchasing that product now again. The design of having the legs set back work well with a wheelchair transfer but this product has design flaws that make it a poor value for this usage.
