I am not a senior, but a young person facing new mobility issues. Anyway, I purchased this item per my physician. It arrived on time. I was amazed at how easy it was to assembly-no tools required. It's easily adjustable to your height. My only issue with the item is that it needs to be a bit wider or adjustable for wider hips. Regarding the instructions, I would suggest to enlarge pics/components and check the labeling- it's backwards. For example, the instructions read BL, but on the component it says LB. Otherwise, I definitely recommend this item.
