Stander Wonder Pole Slim, Tension Mounted Security-Pole, Elderly Floor to Ceiling Transfer-Pole for Seniors, Bathroom Grab Bar Stability Rail with Padded Handle, White

Once you understand how these poles work, they are easy to put up and take down. Very sturdy and no damage to ceiling. To protect the floor I did put a piece of bathroom mat under the base as a precaution. No issues.

My father in law needed assistants getting in and out of bed. This worked perfect It’s very sturdy and easy to install

These work very well. Ended up getting 3. One for bed, one for chair and one for bathroom.

This stability pole helped my brother, who has MS recover from a broken shoulder. It enabled him to rise from his bed and transfer to his wheelchair.

It's in my bathroom next to my tub in front of my toilet.Ignoring the fact that it's gross to have a toilet and tub in the same room... A thing I've never understood why we don't keep our toilets segregated from where we're supposed to clean ourselves... A small sink should be the only thing with it.But I digress.... I sanitize the bar and my tub a lot. And always flush with the lid down. K? K. Good talk. LmaoI have neurological issues that make me very weak and dizzy with short notice and this has safely gotten me out of the tub every time so far.I was chuffed at the price of a metal pole with rubber feet. But the product is good and the cheapest of its kind I could find.

This is about the Stander Security Pole only (without the curve grab bar). The pole did the job just fine for me. Yes, it does require assembly and those whose skill sets don't include mechanical skills might want to get help with the installation. But realistically, placement and installation is straightforward.I did find that the pole loosened up a bit after initial use, which is understandable - most things require a bit of time to "settle in". So it is good to keep the included wrench handy. On initial install I found that the slight wiggle to the center of the pole was maybe 1/8 of an inch. The top (on a "popcorn" plaster ceiling) and the bottom (on a thick pile rug) were and stayed solid. The give was in the center of the pole where the tightening nut is located. The wiggle increased to about 1/4" after use but tightening up the joint with the wrench solved that readily and it has not loosened again. I did call the manufacturer about this and they indicated that the wiggle was normal for the device. In truth, I did not find it a problem, just an initial concern.More on assembly: The biggest issue, for me, was that the H shaped assembly that is used to secure the top of the pole to the ceiling was 22 inches wide rather than the 18 inches or so that I had expected. 18 inches would have it match up to the 16 inch on center placement of ceiling joists in a typical American wood frame house, at least in older construction. Each end of the assembly could be placed on the center of a joist with a 1 inch overlap on each side (16+1+1). (The joists can be located with a stud finder). In my case, a 22 inch dimension required one end of the assembly rest on plasterboard alone, which actually seemed to work out fine. Once I thought about it a bit, I realized that by simply angling the top assembly, you can get the two ends to each rest on a joist, so there is a workaround. The top assembly has holes drilled on 16 inch centers which can be used to actually bolt the top assembly to joists in the ceiling. The holes also would make it convenient to know when you have the assembly placed correctly relative to the joists (once you have marked the joist locations with masking tape or whatever.)I neglected to take a picture of the interior packing before removing and assembling the pole. This was a mistake, since I only needed the pole for a short time while I recovered from surgery. Now I have to figure out how to get it back in the box to store until it's needed again for me or someone else.Gave it a 4 rather than a 5 because of the wiggle and joist factors, but I would gladly buy another if the need were to arise.

great
