I am not kidding about the "life-saving". One member of my family becomes homicidal at the sound of falling crutches, so in the interests of staying alive, i ordered. Brilliant, easy to use, keeps crutches perfectly upright. Sits unobtrusively at the table. I can hardly believe that the homicidal family member has been here for 26 hours and has yet to notice the pair of crutches standly proudly by the table! Too funny.
