Is this sturdy enough to be used for post-surgery or for a physically disabled person?

It seems sturdy. I felt secure sitting on it. It does require some assembly with screws. nothing complicated.

Yes. It is very sturdy. I bought it after I had foot surgery and I am very pleased with it.

The bench is designed to be stable for up to 250 pounds. However most customers that are disabled or recovering from surgery choose one of Decoteak's unique LiftAide shower benches which have raised arms for providing extra lift support to the customer when transitioning from sitting to standing positions. These LiftAide shower benches would be more appropriate for a disabled person, or somebody recovering from surgery. DecoTeak was the 1st company to introduce safety and comfort features such as LiftAide arms to teak shower benches.

I have this bench for my husband who is in a wheelchair. It is very sturdy and I like that it has adjustable disks on the bottom as I have a tiled shower floor. You can purchase the special Oil that will keep it from naturally turning grey.

If you are asking if it will support someone, the answer is yes. However, without knowing the person's weight, or what limitations are being dealt with, I don't know how to address your concern.

Very nice and stable product. Not sure I would use it for your purpose. Narrow base and no hand holds or places to grab. Finish has degraded slightly with 9 months use. But overall, very happy with the product.

I think it would be a little small and therefore a little uncomfortable for a larger person. It is sturdy enough, but not very big.

seems very sturdy but i don't have any paperwork anymore, maybe if you look it up on internet or just lookup drive medical equipment you can find some answers

Yes, it is sturdy enough for a temporary sit-down of an average weight & size person. It was not designed for that, though.

I don't believe this would be an effective exercise apparatus for those who use a wheelchair. This pole is too long. I suggest the Body Blade. It is much shorter and would work for someone who uses a wheelchair because it would not hit the floor the way this item would. The body blade is more expensive but so worth it.

Nope - this is pretty sturdy. I use it as a platform for paperwork next to the standup desk i bought that holds 2 mojitos & a keyboard.

We purchased this for our daughter and she is handicapped. She finds it very sturdy and useful and it does wheel easy.

Hi Cassie it is appropriate for any use where the patient will not need or is unable to wheel a standard wheelchair by themselves. The larger wheels on standard wheelchairs only give the user some control if needed, but they are much more cumbersome to use and carry around.

I would think so but I am not happy with the sturdiness of the entire frame. I do not transport very far and the person is not in the chair for any length of time so it serves its purpose.

I think it is sturdy enough, but check to see if the bar will go high enough. We have it for fun, not for gymnastics practice.

I don't feel I'm qualified to answer that question since I purchased mine for use as part of my physical therapy regiment for a broken back. It is rather firm, but how it will fit your space you want to fill...I don't know.

It is very sturdy - I would expect it to last for some time (until the user gets to 75 lbs). There is a maintenance procedure which should extend the life of this product.

There are handles in the side of the seat which I would imagine should be rather helpful for those with difficulty moving about. Getting in and out of the unit is simple. I don't know your exact limitations but if you're able to manipulate your bad leg with your hands, I think you should be just fine.

The knee pad is deep and comfortable. I would not say that it is easy for me to fold and lift, but I am not very strong. It would be difficult if you were the one needing it. When i am perfectly healthy, I could probably get it folded and put in and out of a car, but not when I was the patient. I'm 5'7" and weigh 115 pounds and in good physical shape. The knee walker is sturdy and to be sturdy, it has to have some weight to it. I have used it for 3 foot surgeries and lent it out to others several times and am about to again.

I would not recommend this to bo used as a wheelchair even though it is very strong & sturdy. I feel this was not the intent and would be dangerous to do so.

Yes, its plenty sturdy. We use it for extra seating at parties. Works well.

It is very sturdy. My husband just had hip replacement surgery. It is height adjustable, light enough that I can carry it upstairs at night with no trouble. I would recommend it to anyone. I also take it in the shower for him.
