Lift Chair Table

Comes close for eating but can be easily pushed away to my side. Big enough for all my stuff. Works well.

Sitting up, with all my weight on my seat, the cushion is too hard.

I wish I had purchased this chair earlier; I spend most of my time in the lift chair. It was easy for my son in law to put together.

Makes my life easier.

I wish the table lowered and raised easier.

Physical disability.

Easy assembly, fulfilled the need.

The post in the floor piece broke off, and the table became unusable.

Post in the floor piece broke off, table became unusable. Suggest the circle post be lubricated on the outside, then place the square post over.

Able to adjust to multiple heights and positions.

Gets in the way when you need to position the patient. Removed table top to get a better position on handling the patient.

william k. from floral park, ny (caregiver)

Female, 95 years of age with limited mobility and dementia. Seems to like the comfort but seems to slide on the chair to an uncomfortable position.

Allows siting in various positions as advertised.

Heavy and set-up instructions need improvement. Is large and bulky and takes up a lot of floor space.

79 year old female in anticipation of knee replacement surgery. Subject was having difficulty getting up from sitting position.

An over chair table that swivels away plus up and down movement is handy for a lot of activities including eating.

Table top is slick and has no edge so things slide off when I swing it to get up.

I am a 68 year old male that weighs 300 lbs. And has much arthritis with three screws in my left hip from childhood.

Tray is nice and large.

Would like the tray edge to be higher so things would have less chance of falling off.

karen w. from plant city, fl

Difficulty standing up from seated position, so nice to have a large tray in front of me.

Table doesn't need magazine rack (too difficult for patient to move table to get to it and most lift chairs have their own pockets on the side for books). Also, I had to pull the whole stand forward so it sticks out about 6 inches in front of the chair (I love tripping on this...NOT!) in order to have the table sit correctly in front of my patient without cutting her in the stomach. She is only 130 lbs so I don't know how anyone this weight or more could use this product and have the table sit correctly in front of them (e.g., to eat off of)and have the bottom of the stand in the place shown in the diagram. To accomplish this the vertical rod just under the table top would have to be modified to have a jag in it to take the table further from the patient while leaving the stand base under the chair as intended. My jag can be described as follows: Draw a 1" vertical straight line, at the top of that line draw a 1" to the right, now at the right side of that line draw a 1" line straight up. You'd probably need the jag to be 6-8" to have a really GREAT product.

The table is excellent and is most useful.

I haven't found any weaknesses.
