Summary: "Works pretty well for what it is"

I guess I am in the minority, but I actually didn't buy this to help me out of chairs, I bought it as a permanent laptop desk for my recliner. In that function, it works pretty well, but there are a few improvements I'd like to see.
- The desk needs to be bigger. I can fit a 15" laptop on it with no problem, but it covers up the drink holder. I'd like both.
- The feet need to be longer. It won't properly adjust to fit under both feet of my recliner, so it isn't as sturdy as it should be.

Summary: "Great product!"

My Dad is fine sitting down and walking, but the transition between the two was starting to get a bit scary and wobbly. I found this product and even though he balked when I brought it over, he has found it very helpful. My brother came over and did some fine tuning so it was very steady and it has indeed helped my Dad get up from his "sittin' chair" with better confidence. He no longer has to carry the tv tray around, since he can just swing this one away and he doesn't complain about losing his crossword pencil anymore. It's also a good looking unit. We're all very pleased with the Standers Able Tray.

Summary: "Helpful and Aesthetically Pleasant Able Tray!"

I am impressed by the high quality and superior appearance of this assist. Many medical products are functional, but ugly eyesores. This is not one of those. It looks right at home with my leather couch and Brazillian hardwood floors and is not immediately recognizable as a medical or assistive device. I experience bouts of immobility and pain due to a back injury, so being able to sit in the same chair to eat, use my computer and watch television or read is a huge plus for me. I hate being stuck in bed during the day and this product has helped lessen that. It works very well to lean on or pull against when rising from my chair and as a balance and stability support when I sit down. This is definitely a five star purchase for me!
