just what we needed
June 15, 2017
This is wonderful. It is just what my husband needed for help up and down. Warning -- if you already have a high toilet this might make it too high. Take that into consideration. We are both very tall so we (barely) escaped having to return it. I like that fact that it is hinged for proper cleaning. Also it is easy to install.
Excellent and easy to install!
May 15, 2017
I purchase this for my grandfather ... and my mother who takes care of him. My grandfather is 86 years old and a three time stroke survivor. While he still has mobility getting up and down has become difficult. He gave me quite the complaint after installing it ... until he used it. Once he realized how much easier it was to get up from the toilet he was quite happy with it. My mother has a hip injury and will be having hip replacement surgery soon so I am hoping she will also benefit.
Solid product
December 6, 2016
I bought this for my 76 year old Mom after hip surgery. It s a very solid seat and helps her now son much easier to get up. What I personally like best that the lid can close with this one and the arms remove so when I have other guest in the guest room it's barley noticeable thst it is a medical toilet seat. My husband said it was easy install.
Outstanding seat...very stable and easy to install
April 11, 2016
Going to install when it arrives and I think it will work well. After reading reviews, I'm concerned about stability and also being able to clean this seat: Essential Medical Supply Elevated Toilet Seat with Arms. It seems like it would have to be removed completely in order to clean it and the toliet. Will use giant wire ties to secure the seat and then be able to remove and reinstall quickly. It might even be more stable than using bolts because of the lateral tension of wrapping a tie through each hole then around either side. Wish me luck!Update: The wire ties didn't work and left the seat too loose, but the extended bolts that come it with have wing nuts that are a breeze to install (and uninstall for any thorough cleaning). The seat is very tightly held in place and looks terrific, very high tech like it belongs on a spaceship lol.We got the standard size which fit the bowl that measures 16.5 inches from bolt holes to the front, outside edge. You add your favorite toilet seat and end up with 5 inches of added height which is just what our elderly mother needed. This replaced a floor standing over-the-toilet commode that was just too bulky and cumbersome for her bathroom.
"Taller than handicap accessible toilet!"
February 23, 2015
This riser fits on my half-bath toilet. What I like so much about it is that when it is added to the regular toilet base, the stool is taller than a handicap accessible toilet. I am tall and after having a hip replacement, I needed a taller toilet. Once added, the regular toilet seat sits on top of the riser which allows you to put the seat down on the toilet. Had been looking at handicap accessible toilets prior to purchasing the riser. It was so much cheaper purchasing this and was very easy to install. What I like the most is that the seat can be lowered. You don't even notice the riser! The riser doesn't affect how you would normally clean the stool. I would definitely recommend this product.
Affordable with excellent functionality.
January 22, 2015
have purchased a few of these and they are a consistent hit. PROS: raises the seat height while keeping the aesthetics of the toilet essentially normal--not fancy or elegant, but more or less normal. adjustable slots allow for a variety of positions to accommodate various toilet shapes. easy to install. Feels sturdy--unlike clamp on "top of the toilet" risers--at a lower cost!! Bonus!! CONS: it's still a piece of plastic under your toilet seat which may get soiled and need extra cleaning. It doesn't perfectly fit all toilets--acceptability may vary depending on how particular your user is in the function vs. fashion dept. For the ultimate experience, one needs to pay much more than $25--either get a whole new toilet, or try the "Toilevator".

Very heavy duty to help you get out of bed
November 3, 2017
I just had major back surgery. We bought two of these and put one on each side of the bed in case I needed to switch sleeping sides. This is a high-quality product. I have pulled on this thing with all of my force and body weight and it has never budged. We are using it with our Tempur-Pedic mattress. Honestly I don't know how anyone could get out of bed after back surgery without this product. I am so thankful that my wife was so thoughtful to order these while I was in the hospital so we could be ready when I got home. They are a godsend.
Works Well For Me
July 9, 2017
This product is being used on a full size bed. The assembly was very easy and the adjustments were simple to make. We width of the device to fit the bed, inserted it between the mattress and box springs, then adjusted the legs so they touched the floor. Viola! It is sturdy and provides just enough leverage to assist getting into or out of bed.The product has been in use for 3 weeks and appears to be well built.
Excellent buy! Strong. Easy to install and to take down.
April 20, 2017
This is an excellent product. It's easy to install - it took about 10 minutes and I needed no tools. It's even easier to take down when it's no longer needed. It feels strong and the support that goes between the mattress and box springs can be adjusted so it's longer or shorter. I am very pleased with how well this is both designed and manufactured. I highly recommend it and can see why so many other people have given it high ratings.
Awesome
January 22, 2017
This is a great product. We needed to get something to help move around and get out of bed. We wanted to start with a smaller product and not go to the huge bed or ceiling mounted type. This works great, he can grab it and it helps him move without any assistance or shaking the whole bed. No permanent mounting to anything, securely fits between the mattress and box spring. I highly recommend this product and will share my experience with our support group.
Well worth the money.
May 28, 2016
Received this today. It fits perfectly and will insure I do not roll out of bed. I am a very active sleeper. Although universal in scope there are beds this will not work with. Pay attention to the measurements and adjustability of this device before you order it. It is simple to assemble and takes no tools or special know how. Very satisfied.Update: Have had this for almost one year. Still like brand new. Can't number the times this has kept me from falling out of bed. ( I am an active sleeper), One of the best purchases I have ever made from Amazon
Easy to Use Protection
September 2, 2015
My mother needed something to guard her from falling out of bed. She is not at the level of needing a hospital bed, so I needed something sturdy yet movable. This this option worked best because it comes apart and the padded top portion can be used to help the person stand. It's easy to move to either end of the bed since it goes under the mattress and the top portion locks into place with metal pins. I feel so much better now that I have that level of protection

Great product, Does what its supposed to, and easy to install.
August 20, 2017
Great product for elevating the toilet seat. My moms bathroom is old and has a very low toilet, making it hard for her to get up and putting extra wear and tear on her knees. This was easy to install, and other then it occasionally moving a bit side to side if your sit down without a bit of caution, it works great. Love the handles to push off of, and it is better looking then some of the seat risers I've seen before. Overall win win!
It was pretty easy to install
July 18, 2017
My dad needed this product after his car accident in which he broke his hip. The height was exactly what he needed and the handles on either side really helped stabilize him when he let go of the walker or cane. It was pretty easy to install. A few things to consider - you can't clean under the elevated portion of the toilet seat without unscrewing it. Also, there is no latch to hold the front of the seat in place so there is some slight side-to-side movement at the front when you put weight on the handles. I ended up using duck tape on either side to keep it from moving. It isn't beautiful to look at but it works perfectly and the seat does not move. I would recommend it.
Overall, very good riser seat
July 5, 2017
Very nice seat. I like that you can take one handle off if you want. The trouble that we ran into is that though the handles are removeable, the button to do the removing is underneath hidden between the eleveated seat and the original top of the toilet bowl. So, you would have to unscrew it to get at the buttons- not something you can do everytime you want to use it. We need follow the directives of another that said to use RUBBER washers and that is essential and worked well. It was very easy to put on and has been very useful.
Happy with it, but........
May 19, 2017
This seat has enabled my husband to get up by himself, which makes both of us happy. The sturdiness of the installation, not so much. The long bolts provided tighten nicely, but loosen very easily, also, making the seat non-sturdy as it moves back and forth. I have tried putting non-skid things under the seat, but nothing seems to last. If anyone has a solution to this issue, I'd be glad to hear it. Still, I am happy to have the seat - just have to keep a close eye on fasteners and movement.
Helps my father be more independent
December 21, 2016
My dad suffered a stroke a few years ago and getting up and down from the toilet has proven difficult. This has made a huge difference for him. He is able to use the bathroom independently and can get on and off easily. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because there is a little wiggle to the seat when attached even after my husband tightening it. Not enough that it's not secure but would have preferred it had a bit better fit as I'm not sure the impact it will have over an extended time.
Good product but poor hardware included with the product. Read the review before trying to install.
December 17, 2016
In response to other reviewers who left negative comments about the stability issues. I have solved the issue and it's a small wonder why the manufacturer hasn't done this. Yes, as ordered the elevated toilet seat is unstable. You simply cannot put plastic washers up against a porcelain toilet seat. Second there is no toilet seat sold that accommodates the large bolts included with this elevated seat. You have to drill out the holes on your existing seat. This is just plain lack of insight on the part of the manufacturer. Here is the fix. On the existing toilet seat you need to drill out the clamp down holes so that the larger bolts will fit through. This is easy if you have a drill. Second; the stability can be solved by using a rubber garden hose washer sandwiched between the porcelain toilet and a metal (zinc) washer. Then put rubber pads on the bottom of the elevated seat between the porcelain toilet and the elevated seat. These rubber pads are the same pads you put on the bottom of table legs or chair legs to keep them from scuffing a wooden floor. Again, the manufacturer should could easily fix this problem if they ever cared enough to READ REVIEWS. Took me about 15 minutes to install. I only needed a large flat blade screw driver and a drill. Before installing; go to the hardware store and pick up 2 rubber garden hose washers, 2 zinc washers same size as rubber washers, and finally a package of rubber floor glides.

however we were able to take the lower section of the leg off and put the leg pads back on and it fits just fine now. It is very stable as it goes ...
July 21, 2017
The bed we have does not have a box springs unit so the item was a little tall for the bed, however we were able to take the lower section of the leg off and put the leg pads back on and it fits just fine now. It is very stable as it goes nearly half way across the double bed so there is no chance of it coming out while being used.
Measure first bottom of mattress to floor!
March 6, 2017
This product would have been fine, if only we measured from the bottom of the box spring mattress to the floor. Knowing that measurement would have helped us to make a decision if this product would have fit. The problem was where the horizontal cross bar met the vertical bar, left too much metal leg going down to the floor. Even though it has adjustable legs, it still was too high. My husband had to do some metal cutting to shorten it even more. Once done it was fine. A good product.
Customization needed for older bed
January 23, 2016
A little too tall for older bed frame and box spring, but cutting down was no problem with pipe cutter (have also done with saws in past on other equipment) and holes drilled for spring catches to be reinserted. Have tools needed, but if not, suggest this is well made, easy to assemble and install or disassemble and store, so worth having cut down and would ask at local hardware store as they may well be able to do so for you or know who to ask to do it. (I noticed others say it was too tall - and be too discouraged by that to problem solve to size properly.) Other than height changes we made, its perfect for our goal of a handle for debilitated person to use to stand from sit on a bed. Thank you!
Yet another great and affordable product from Drive.
August 5, 2015
Yet another great and affordable product from Drive.As a care provider for my dad who had multiple strokes, the ability for him to finally be able to get out of bed is a great relief.It would not be possible, and his recovery would not be progressing to the degree it has been, without this product.It may terrify you that your parent with disabilities is attempting things on their own while you desire them to be more cautious, but one can respect their attempts to recreate a life without dependencies. I am hopeful that makes sense.Cheers.
Sturdy very helpful support. somewhat limited in adjustment flexibility.
June 30, 2015
Relatively simple to set up. The bed hight adjustment is simple and strong. It would be helpful if something like a short threaded attachment on the bottom could be used to fine tune the final adjustment. The rails going between the mattress and box spring could be less intrusive that way but my wife is comfortable.What did bother her was the hight of the to handrail. She had me lower it to the level of the mattress so she could reach over it to reach her bedside table. This involved marking and drilling a couple of new holes inches higher to allow the sliding tubes to go down to the desired level.The result is a very sturdy helpful support.
Needs a little better design
March 2, 2014
Assembly of the high-quality pieces was a snap and my parents thought it was super-functional, giving them a hand exactly where they needed it. I had to take away one star, though, for something not obvious until you get the product: the bars that slide between the mattress and box spring is round - as opposed to flat - and lifts the mattress surpisingly high. We had just installed a new bed for the folks, and the healthcare worker who observed the railing said that kind of distortion to the bed would void itts warranty. If you have an older bed or just aren't worried about the warranty, you would probably be very pleased with this product. Hopefully the manufacture will put a little more thought into this for future models.

The seat spacer works great and is very sturdy
March 13, 2017
Shipping was unacceptable. Twice the shipping date was pushed back. It took 10 days to get delivered. The bolts to mount it are 3/8 and the mount on my existing seat were 5/16. I had to purchase a new toilet seat to be able to mount with their bolts. I did not want to go lighter with the bolts due to safety concerns. The seat spacer works great and is very sturdy. The handles are firmly mounted and provide secure support. I would buy it again, but would order 2 weeks before I anticipated needing it.
A few issues
October 21, 2016
Difficult assembly as the pop out locking knobs jammed but byusing a screwdriver inside of the metal pipes I was able to position the locking system.....took almost an hour to assemble and install......still a bit loose after complete installation.
Does the job.
March 14, 2016
Unit works, but the mounting slots are so long that it keeps slipping off center. I've tightened the bolts as tight as I dare without breaking it.
It's OK but could be better
April 14, 2014
This does provide a little under 4" lift as advertised, and is very stable. It fit on our standard elongated seat toilet. The down side is that it looks in the picture like it has an edge going around it that fits down into the toilet bowl. In actuality, this is only along a 60 degree arc on the front, I suppose to keep a seated man from peeing out from under it at the front. My wife needed it and it worked for her, but since it doesn't lift, I found after a few weeks on my standing and peeing down through it into the toilet, the little splashes had accumulated under it and made it pretty nasty. I had to remove the entire seat to clean under it, a rather long process process with those really long bolts.It would be much better if that edge going into the toilet bowl went the whole way around it so stuff couldn't accumulate under it so easily. If you only had to take it off a couple times a year to clean under it, it would be much easier. I ended up replacing it with a 2" high toilet seat extender that lifted and had flights on it like a normal seat (I believe is was a Bemis).
okay but you might opt to buy some washers because the metal bolts don't come with them.
November 28, 2013
I mated this on to a Toto Ultramax Toilet; the shape was okay and fit on nice but the rear bottom back near the bolts had a gap of approximately 1/4" . When the thru bolt is tightened, it squeezes that gap closed and lifts the front up. So I put two 1/8" shims made out of rubber along the back in line with the the bolts; this corrected that problem but if asked, I could design a better attachment system for them. The bolts are standard cadmium bolts, rounded heads with wing nuts. The rounded heads prevent the seat hinge bolts holes covers from closing because they are thicker than the flat headed bolts that originally came with the seat. The wing nuts in my opinion are not suitable to bear up against the porcelain bowl without a rubber washer and metal backing one; the small surface area of the wing nut bearing against the porcelain could cause cracking so I added the washers.
Three inches do make a difference
October 29, 2013
Not too much to say. It's a good product and gets the job done (raising the height of the seat). The major drawback is that the bolts that hold it to the base loosen fairly easily, but it's not that much of a drawback to keep me from making this purchase.The highest rating should go to amazon.com. They really went way out of their way to research and resolve the problem I had in getting the order filled correctly.I had to return it twice because the company selling these things kept sending me the wrong size. Amazon.com not only solved this but paid all the shipping costs and gave me a voucher to pay the difference in the cost between the two seat risers. This is just one of many reasons that amazon.com has such a good reputation.

Works well, had to be cut to use on short bed.
November 3, 2017
Now that it's installed, it does work well. This is a much needed addition for my grandmother's room.This was too tall for my grandmother's bed, even on its lowest setting. I had to cut 1.5" off the legs and re-drill new holes for the spring-pins. It wasn't too easy to cut off, but I had a saw with a metal blade and I then used a file to smooth off the edges. I needed a long flat screwdriver, some long needlenose pliers, the saw, and a something to hammer/tap with.
"Un-returnable"???
October 8, 2017
Brought this for my 83 year-old mother. She looked at it and said she didn't need it. I attempted to submit a return for it and found out it was "not returnable." So, to my dismay, I asked a question (under the question submissions, of course) as to why it is un-returnable, and my question was deleted. I don't know what is going on here --- or why --- but I buy a lot of items off of Amazon and this doesn't make me happy. Beware!!!
Functional, practical and UNUSABLE for beds without box springs
March 21, 2017
This item is not configured for beds without a boxspring. While adjustments are possible, the legs can not be let down far enough for mattresses on platform beds or the European slat system. The packaging was entirely too flimsy to repack the item so we will be donating the item to a charitable resale outlet. Extremely disappointing since otherwise this seems perfectly functional and practical, just unusable.
BEWARE: May not accommodate non-standard mattress and/or box spring heights. Poor assembly instructions.
December 29, 2016
I bought this to for my mother to assist getting out of her bed. PROs: Construction appears to be high quality. Very easy to assemble. Good adjustability, but within a narrow range of mattress and boxspring heights. CONs: Instructions included are vague and assumes you already know what the individual parts are called as there are no illustrations. Limited range of adjustmentIn overall summary, this is a good product. In my case, there are two issues that kept this from being a five-star rating: 1. The poor instructions previously mentioned. 2. Narrow range of adjustment. For "normal" bed and box spring heights, this will work fine. In my case, I was faced with a taller than normal mattress and shorter than normal box spring and lower leg height. Faced with the choice of dealing with the headache and expense of returning a "perfectly good" product or voiding a useless lifetime warranty, I chose the latter. A hacksaw and about 20 minutes of my time removing 5.5" of height from each leg of the piece that tucks in between mattress and box spring. I deburred the cut ends and slipped the foot pieces back on. It installed perfectly and now works great. It was not clear from the product description what height ranges should be, so I am not sure I could have anticipated this before ordering it. I have no doubt I would have been able to install this with no problem if this was a more "conventional" mattress/box spring arrangement.
Not enough adjustment to fit low beds!
November 12, 2016
My bed is too low to the floor and there is not enough adjustment on this item to enable it to work as intended. I was able to take the legs completely off and flip it over and it is usable. Would be better if it was adjustable to fit low beds. For those whose beds are high enough for this to fit, it seems to be an excellent choice. Will most likely work great on 95% of beds.
Nice - But
March 25, 2016
Well made and easy to assemble. Unfortunately, the distance from the floor to top of mattress foundation must be at least 16 inches. Mine was only 12.5". Solved by cutting 3.5" off the support legs - but will require a little more "modification" to ever make it go higher. Seems to be very sturdy.

Not compatible with most toilet seats
July 29, 2017
The seat comes with two long screws and wing nuts to attach the regular toilet seat and the elevated one to the toilet bowl. Unfortunately, most regular toilet seats have a proprietary method to attach the seat to the bowl and will not work with the supplied screws. I had to check over six different toilet seats until I found one that would work. The manufacturer needs to find a better method to attach their seat so it will work with a variety of regular toilet seats.
... riser is the right height and the arms are great, the plastic to porcelain connection doesn't work
July 15, 2017
While this riser is the right height and the arms are great, the plastic to porcelain connection doesn't work! It slides back and forth loosening the bolts in the back. Additionally, the long bolt connecting seat to riser to porcelain base requires a seat and lid that has this capacity. Our seat and lid did not! They were fused as one unit and our plumber had to run out and buy another one that a bolt could be put through. This new seat has ridges that provide air between seat and porcelain base. These ridges have already put grooves in the plastic riser in one week! We're not sure it the loosening bolts will create the danger of falls, but it feels like they might. We're very disappointed and worried. Should we send it back? Then we're back with too low toilet with no bars to assist.
Easy to Install Not for the obese
November 10, 2016
Needed this after fracturing my humerus ( never live in a raised ranch people multi level living is highly overrated) fit well but even though installed by my handy husband it was still a tad wobbly also at a normal BMI it was a close quarters fit I don't suggest this product for an overweight person carrying larger hips/buttocks unless you like getting stuck on the commode....
The toliet seat was fairly easy to assemble
May 2, 2016
The toliet seat was fairly easy to assemble. However, I was a bit confused as to which washer went where. So I put the white one on top and the metal one on the bottom.Here's my COMPLAINT!! After attaching it the commode base, I noticed the padded handles are very WORN, and I doubt they will last more than a couple of months.As I am 66 years old, the bending and tightening everything to the base was stressful, So, I decided I didn't want to deal with undoing my work and having to be bothered with installing another one. I hope duct tape will help. It's a pity for what this thing cost me.
its ok, but....
July 15, 2013
Purchased while recovering from surgery, for assistance in standing up. For that it does work. Also seems quite sturdy, and was delivered quickly and in excellent condition. However ... replaced it a few weeks later with a hinged version. Was impossible to clean thoroughly without removing it. A simple job but a real pain. If not removed, the 'liquid' which collects under it gets kinda gamey. Not fun to clean or smell. This happened whether men or women used it, though more often w/women. (Probably an anatomy thing.) The problem lies with the design, not the seller. Replaced it with a hinged version ... when cleaning it just needs to be raised unlike this model which needs to be unbolted from toilet.
Difficult to clean
April 6, 2013
This seat riser did an adequate job of raising the toilet seat to a better height, but the longer bolts did not fit into the original seat. Also, once it is installed, the only way to thoroughly clean the toilet seat would be to take it all apart. Too much work for elderly people.....we returned it.

Incompatible with low bed
September 20, 2017
The product description needs to include the minimum height clearance. This will not work with a typical low bed set up for a person prone to falls because of the too tall legs. They do not adjust very far hi/ low.And Amazon wants to say it is ineligible to return despite that its Prime and inaccurately / incompletely described. Pshh. Fix your listing instead of wasting my time trying to care for my mother!This would work fine on a higher bed I guess but not for many!
It would probably be ok if it fit my bed ...
March 2, 2017
It would probably be ok if it fit my bed but it was too high for it so I could not use the product. I brought two actually so that I could put one on each side of the bed. I did try it a night just to see how it would go even though too high for bed and hurt my hip as I could feel the bars. The other thing about it was the second one I ordered had two left pieces instead of a left and a right so was unusable anyway.
Not Ideal for Everyone
February 16, 2016
Not sturdy and not made for all mattresses and box springs. The legs at it's lowest still didn't fit my elderly aunts bed. She doesn't have a high bed, so this doesn't work. Also, when she gripped the handle bars to get out of bed it keep slipping on her. It would probably be better for someone with a higher bed. Not sure if this will fix the slipping or not staying in place issue, so I give it 2 stars just in case. No instructions on how to put this item together, fairly simple to setup, but not sturdy overall, material is hollow. Check weight requirements before purchasing and bed measurements.
Faulty Design Who Wants to Sleep on a Bumpy Mattress? Not Mom
December 15, 2015
I would agree this is one sturdy piece of equipment nonetheless after installing it I realized it was not good for the mattress as the bars that go under it are round and not flat and the mattress develops a terrible bump and lifts up. they should have called me for the design. Anyway who can sleep on that Mom was right even before I placed on her bed she knew that would not be comfortable to sleep on yes it was in between the mattress and the box spring
Hard to put together
October 27, 2015
Terrible instructions. No diagrams or pictures or labeled parts. Says it is three parts on Amazon but it comes in four parts. Looks very study. I will update review after trying it. I am really good at putting stuff together but I had to dig the box it came in out of the trash and study the picture to figure it out. And then I didn't realize I could snap off the little plastic brackets when initially putting it together. The directions just suggest doing that at the very end. Frustrating experience. I hope it works.
Minimum Box Spring Height: 16"
June 28, 2015
Minimum box spring height is 16" for this product. I did not see that in the product data. Top of my box spring is 15". To avoid an uncomfortable 2 inch "bump" in my mattress, I had to remove the feet completely. This could damage the carpet.

That's how bad it was needed

I had this product expedited it says comes with hardware. Zero hardware in the package. I needed this ASAP for my mom. When I take that out of the box the only thing in the box was the seat. People doing people not doing their job to the fullest is totally unacceptable. It came in today. Yesterday was too late having this. That's how bad it was needed. My mom has had a brain injury. This is desperately needed

Difficult to clean raised seat for toilet
July 6, 2017
Difficult to clean. It is bolted under toilet seat and to clean, the entire toilet seat and.bolts have to be removed. Not much use for s handicapped person.
Nope
June 4, 2017
NOT a seat that is stable once installed. Had to add bracing inside to avoid side to side movement. Do not recommend it.

It would have been great but there was no way to attach it and your Toilet seat to the actual toilet. Toilet seats today come with the bolt hardware pre- attached. They gave you long bolts but none of the newer toilet seats can use them.
Read why THIS and all toilet seat risers are junk
October 23, 2014
What you need to know about these toilet seat risers:I attempted to make contact with each of the reputable Amazon dealers selling their version of a riser seat. NONE of them responded to my questions. I chose this seller and product because of the high ratings. I know most people offer an initial review and never follow up when problems arise. People who left a positive review will be in for an unpleasant surprise.This comes with steel bolts and steel wingnuts. See my before and after photos of three months installed. (I guess Amazon or the Seller removed my rusted bolts photos!) There is a reason why ALL toilet seats come with Nylon bolts and nuts (hard plastic). Why would a riser come with metal???Your toilet collects condensation. Your bathroom is naturally high in moisture content. What happens to steel when exposed to this environment? RUST RUST RUST. Add to that chemicals you might use to clean your toilet. That eventually leaks on to these steel bolts. MORE CORROSION. I had one bleeping nightmare of a time getting the wingnuts off. Was about to use a sawzall to cut the bolt at the toilet rim line.Do these bolts hold your riser and toilet seat firmly? The riser has a lip which is designed to prevent it from moving forward. Does it prevent it from moving forward? Not really. Does it prevent the riser from moving side to side? NO! The holes where these bolts are inserted into the risers are oversized. Lots of play room.Is it easy to clean under these risers? NO NO NO!!! You literally need to unscrew each wingnut numerous revolutions and pull them out to get at the dirty toilet bowl rim. Completely remove the riser with toilet seat. Yes, lots of stuff gets caught in there and you'll never figure out how it happened.I thought the rubber pads under the riser help prevent it from moving? Not really. Plus, the chemicals you use to clean your toilet will end up eating away those rubber pads. They eventually fall off.Do all elongated seats fit perfectly on this riser? No. Most will overhang this riser but an inch or two.What needs to be changed with these toilet seat risers?1. Use fully threaded thick Nylon Bolts (hard plastic). I have not found them anywhere online or in the box stores. Someone should make them.2. Add plastic washers to the nylon bolts to help prevent shifting.3. Make one continuous lip all around and make it longer. This will help prevent stuff reaching underneath.4. Create a new style quick release system, instead of bolt/nut, to get easy access for cleaning toilet rim.I have four people in my home. None of us exceed 185 lbs. But it is extremely easy to shift this thing out of place. This was bought for my elderly mother who has neuropathy and difficulty standing up from a seated position.I hope this helps, but if you need a riser, what are you going to do? You have to buy one of these defective designs. I just hope you realize your bolt and wingnuts are going to rust frozen.UPDATE: A brother came over to calk bathtub gunk around the riser and the toilet bowl rim while I was gone. I called him and told him the cleaning solutions (bleach spray, toilet bowl cleaner for rust) would eat away and discolor the calk in a month. It did. Had to remove and scrape it off. Still no solution to problems noted above. I am kind of upset my photos of the rusted metal bolts were removed from this Amazon listing review!

Can't return; not for beds with low box springs
September 3, 2017
In spite of its many high reviews, the item is not as adjustable as it seems. Be warned that if you have a low box spring or have mattress that's embedded with the box spring, this will not work.In addition, Amazon will not accept returns if you made the mistake of purchasing this.
Did not work
May 21, 2017
This item did not work at all. It was too tall for our bed and could not be adjusted to fit.
Waste of money
March 28, 2017
Upset with this purchase. this was too tall to fit the bed for my father in law (box spring and pillow top mattress) which makes it useless in addition to the fact that the company doesn't allow returns. I guess its my fault for not double checking the height but at the same time this should be flexible enough for all bed heights
Won't collapse short enough for the bed
June 29, 2016
It never dawned on my that my short little Mom (5'3") had an unusually short bed. It's never appeared that short. However, upon set up on the bed rail, the legs won't collapse short enough, so that the entire mattress is lifted off the boxspring. It's unusable and getting returned. Is there something higher end that would fit?
Flawed
June 23, 2016
Not designed well, only made for beds that are set up high off the floor. Set on the lowest setting and it is an inch or so from being level with mattress.
Very disappointing
June 2, 2014
We were very disappointed with this product. The bars that go under the bed are not flat but round so when you place it under the mattress, it does not stay in place. It seems to me, that the bars should be flat for better balance. It is not a product I could ever recommend. It was not helpful at all.
