The arms are 18" wide between them.
Because the plastic adjusting screw sheared off, I returned it because I didn't like it.
It is possible to use it without the use of arms. What I didn't like about it was that every time I walked past it, my leg would hit the front lock. My bathroom is small and stands out.
We didn't have to get rid of our old seat.

Before you buy anything, double-check your measurements. This is a fantastic way to start the day! It has a lot of sturdiness to it. It is simple to put on and remove! You do not need to remove the original toilet seat or lid. Simply lift the lid and seat off the bowl and place them on it. To tighten the toilet seat, use the knob on the riser. If you're on the larger side, I wouldn't recommend it because it's not very wide. br>Check the width in the description and decide for yourself; it's plenty big for me but not for everyone. I don't want you to have to re-enter your information. order!.
It's difficult to give an honest review because the hip surgery for which I purchased it has been postponed until September. It was easy to install on the elongated toilet. It appeared to be sturdy when I sat on it. So far, the only reason I've deducted a star is that I barely fit between the arms. Although I am overweight (5'10" tall and 200 pounds), I am not obese for my height. My concern is that if I wear a bandage on my sore hip, the arm will irritate it. It's convenient that the arms can be removed easily, and I could always take out the one on the side of the hip replacement. I'll try to keep you updated after the surgery to let you know how it went.
In general, I'm pleased. It's compatible with our standard toilet bowl. The front lock mechanism could be improved by changing the shape so that it tries to lock under the front lip of the toilet bowl, but it will not slide at all while your weight is on the seat. I was very concerned after reading all of the reviews about seats slipping off while trying to sit down. This isn't a bad one. Although the hole is small, it is usable. With total hip replacement surgery, it is working well for us. I wish someone had made one with decent handles, but based on what I could find on this site, there were no seats that allowed the handles to be adjusted outward enough to prevent the hip from rubbing against the handles on the way down, so we went with this one. If you have enough upper body strength, you can use this in conjunction with a walker. If not, you might consider installing grab bars on the wall next to the toilet, which are far more stable than a walker.
After having a knee replacement, I was advised to purchase a toilet seat riser, so I did so prior to surgery. I'm not a big guy, but the grab arms are too close together, and the actual hole is too small for a man. Children and small women will enjoy it. The good news is that it arrived in a timely manner. I would not recommend it to a man.
It was easy to install just like the directions stated everything went together perfectly it was boxed very well if I had to clean it for her it would be very difficult for her to take the unit off it's big bulky somewhat heavy to lift for herself but if someone came in to clean it for her that was younger and stronger I think they would be just finebr>I bought this riser for my grandmother she's 92 she says it's easier for her to get on and off the toilet but if she had.
Nice unit, but the space between the handholds is too small for a 300-pound person. I'm not even close to that weight, and I'm squeezing in. When I sit, it rubs against my hip replacement incision, which is very uncomfortable. It would be a waste to remove the handles, as that is why I purchased it.
Older toilets (pre-2000) were the two that required a "lift. " These toilets have too deep lips for the toilet to fit in. It does, however, fit in the one toilet that the patient is unable to use. Even after it's been installed, the hole isn't big enough for "wiping. " However, it appears to be durable enough to be useful once installed. br>I wish we had toilets that qualified for the "most" category.
I wish the front "lock," like the back of the seat, had a molded lip. The toilet bowl's rim is hidden by the molded lip. The "lock" is a large plastic screw attached to a flat foam rubber-covered plastic piece. The first issue is: The toiletbowl's porcelain rim is too slippery for the foam rubber to grip. Second issue: The "lock" deforms and rides up on the rim of the toilet bowl as the screw is tightened. It's a good raised seat if you can resist the urge to overtighten it and just tighten it enough to give it a little grip.
