Such a good and simple idea. It really helps my husband to stand from a seated position and prevents me from having to pull him up. I love the fact that it is portable. I now have 2 of them. I use it on his riser chair, kitchen chair and even his wheelchair! I have been singing its praises. My husbands day care facility were so impressed that they bought on for him to use there and they now don't need to use a handling belt!
