Having a family member who is disabled puts the simple things like walking to the bathroom in the middle of the night a harder task than most. This makes life simpler not only for them but myself too, the strong and durable design gives me peace of mind knowing falling in the middle of the night is much less of a risk now. Assembly was alittle daunting at times to make sure it was built correctly but all in all everything went together and the strength of this can't be beat. The drop in bucket makes clean up a breeze and the adjustable heights make using comfortable. While 1000lb capacity is alittle over kill for most it is definitely worth it for the strength it provides. For anyone needing a strong, safe and peice of mind unit for help at night this chair is definitely worth the investment.
