Mybow Stair Climbing Cane Lifts for Seniors Half Steps Assist Walking Sticks Elderly Stair Walker Devices Standing Aid Adjustable Mobile Portable Stair Lift 4 Prong Stair Helper Up and Down Stairs

This is a wonderful device and it works well in allowing a shallower step experience on steep stair. The upright to base plate joint is a little less sturdy than I’d like. It works better going up than down but I can’t see a way around this, maybe extending the length of the plate for the downward action but then this may get in the way for the upward action. On the whole a life saver as where my stairs are doesn’t allow for a lift!

As a mobility aid this item should be tested before dispatch. I'm so disappointed as it looked a good design. How can it be sent like that without being checked first. The pole just did not fit into the base at all.

I was struggling getting up the stairs due to muscle weakness. This step cane is a game changer. I can now manage the stairs using less effort. Sometimes the simplest of things work.

Felt flimsy when I used it

Not very well made for the money, but having said that it does the job. I was dreading staying at my daughters for 2 weeks. This has made my stay easier. No need to do a bad review about it not fitting together properly, just send it back and get another one, simples !!!! Not difficult to put together 2 pieces of stick not rocket science

After a replacement hip operation this was great to help me negotiate stairs again.

This item is for people who have knee pain/disability. Therefor it would make sense that the cane part of the 'step' should be able to take quite a bit of pressure while the person needing to use it bears down on the handle and a bannister to assist in climbing. When you do this the step flips up making it, for me, impossible to get my foot on it. I've tried just using the cane to lift it up each step and use the bannisters for 'pulling' and taking weight off my legs, but it's cumbersome and doesn't work well. A simple design change would make a big difference if the cane went through the step and met the floor rather than stop at the step this wouldn't be an issue. I do have severe knee arthritis so maybe this would work for someone who doesn't need as much weight bearing support when climbing, but sadly didn't work for me.

I bought two. In both cases a screw was missing and anyway I couldn’t put the “cane” into the step because there was a lump of metal in the way.I should be able to use the steps without the cane part as I only need help going upstairs but I am very disappointed.
