Description

Steve used this lift assist seat everywhere including church, movie theaters, and family homes. It is lightweight and comes with a handle. We called it his ejection seat.

Be sure to adjust the seat for your weight and test it with help.

Here’s a fun story and a cautionary tale. Steve would get mani-pedis after he couldn’t clip his own nails. During one of those visits, Steve was sitting at the table getting his manicure. He was using his lift assist seat. In the middle of his manicure, he leaned to far forward, and the seat launched him onto the desk. No one was hurt, but it was quite the surprise.
