The SP Ableware Tall-Ette Elevated Toilet Seat with Extra Wide Seating Surface is compatible with most standard and elongated toilets. Height of the toilet bowl should be 17-inches or under in order for the legs of the seat to touch the ground. Features contoured soft foam arm rests designed to assist the user in sitting down or rising from the seat, measures 18-inches in width handle to handle. Ideal for people who need extra assistance because of significant lower extremity weakness or poor balance. Adds 4-inches to the bowl height and eliminates the need for a commode or added toilet seat frame. Seat easily slides along the legs and adjust to the height of your toilet. In rare instances you may find that once installed the legs of the seat do not reach the ground. If this occurs, simply cut some of the foam tubing so the seat can slide further up the legs. Overall seat width is 22-1/2-inches, measure your toilet before making a purchase. There must be a minimum of 4-1/2-inches between the toilet seat bolts and a gap of at least ¼-inches between the toilet seat in the raised position and the porcelain surface of the toilet. Aluminum frame comes with Slip-In Lok-In-El bracket and weighs 9-pounds and can support up to 400-pounds. The Maddak Tall-Ette Extra Wide Elevated Toilet Seat comes with a one year limited warranty.

Not Extra Wide Enough This product does not come close to fulfilling its promise of extra wide and support for 400 lbs.When I sat down on this extra wide product, I was unable to squeeze into the area between the bars.At 375 lbs., I had hoped that this product would relieve some of the force on the toilet. It does not. The product sits on the rim of the toilet. The legs only support getting on and off but no reduction in the force on the toilet.I will be returning this product.
Good product with some modifications This has worked well for our son who is disabled. He is able to life himself up without assistance. The individual seats that lock into the toilet bowl just never felt secure for him as they were more easily dislodged. This unit is more secure and readily fits over the bowl. I did have to make a slight modification to enable the seat to be pushed up higher on the handles: I easily slipped off one of the two grips off each side.
Excellent design, sturdy and comfortable! I ordered this after I had Arthroscopic hip surgery and had trouble with the height of our toilet. I read a lot of reviews on Amazon & settled on this one. So glad I did. It was quick & easy for my husband to put together. It’s sturdy & comfortable. I especially like the padded grip bars. That really helps since I have to push on the bars to get up and down.
