Drop Arm Commode Chair

This chair has really met our needs. Easy to assemble, no tools required, fits through doorways though I had to turn it sideways to clear a narrow bathroom door 3-in-1 feature saves space and money. Works well in shower with fold down arms. Haven’t used the commode feature yet, but so glad we have the option if needed next to the bed sometime. User is 6’1 and 220#. Sturdy while sitting and rising. Wouldn’t recommend leaning on arms when standing beside or in front as the arms have a slight wiggle from side to side.

I needed a width that fit the area next to my bed for nighttime use. This item showed its dimensions which helped a lot plus easy to put together. Some parts didn’t slide in easily so had to hammer them in with soft headed hammer, the rest was easy. Very sturdy.

Update: I used contact cement to fix the armrests. No more wobble. I bought this to use as a bedside commode. Nowhere does it indicate the bucket is too large to accommodate a liner unless you remove the handles. Then liners will wrap around the bucket. Also, there's no way to tighten the arm rests so they don't wobble. I like the height and padded seat.

The drop arms are easy to work. Comes with pan and lid. Adjustable heighth is easy to adjust. The price is affordable. Sturdy. This couldn't have been a better purchase. My dad can't stand and uses a transfer board. Thus, has to have the drop arms. Depending on heighth of transfer the adjustable heighth is easy to change.

Two plastic clips that hold the toilet seat to the bar are broke smashed basically from Shipping I presume. Which they make them out of plastic and they're not very durable they should be made out of metal. It should be attached completely around the bar instead of snapping them into place. Its a major design flaw. Cause without a sturdy seat the entire product is worthless. I don't care if the rest of it is made out of titanium from a meteorite that has been in space for 400 billion years if you make it with junk clips to hold the seat on. Then the entire product is junk. To bad too cause it looks like it'd be a good sturdy product with steel frame and all. To bad they used cheap plastic at the most important spot on it.

This is a must have for folks with aging parents or for folks who need a little extra support in the bathroom. This allows my dad sit down easily without doing a free fall or dropping too low. He is able to support himself with the arms and because the height is adjustable, he doesn't have as far to go to stand up again. The backrest is also a nice feature as it again provides him with stability. And if the time comes where he cannot make it to the bathroom, this can be used as a stand alone next to his bed. A great product!

The opening text notes: "the Heavy Duty beside commode is sturdy enough to support up to 400lbs, you can not worry about deformation or collapse". My experience shows otherwise. I weigh 240 lbs, yet the first time I used the commode, the cheap plastic clips that hold the padded seat to the back rail snapped off. The second time I used it (one does what one must) the moveable arm rests bent laterally when I tried to lift myself up. They claim the frame is iron, but it's light and easily deformable. I suspect that this would be suitable for someone of less than 150 lbs, and not more. The cushion is nice, so 2 stars ...

I had a total knee replacement and bought this for post surgery recovery. It’s been a lifesaver!!! Easy to put together, easy to keep clean. Needed this as my toilet is a little on the lower side anyway. Best post surgical investment!!!
