Does it have to touch an existing toilet bowl, or is it sturdy enough to be floating way above the existing commode? My concern: will it slip/wobble?

It would move around in my opinion... . The flange at the back of it slips under the raised lid and seat to anchor it.. without that anchorit would be unsafe. You can get raised seats that just sit on top...no legs or arm holds..but that moves around and my patient did't like it.

It is sturdy. But the space between the handles is very narrow. I had to return mine

It is sturdy, is on top of the commode, has a locking device, and does not wobble.

Yes, it sits atop (touching) your existing toilet bowl. You raise the cover and the seat and slide the little extension under those. Then the elevated seat is sitting directly on the toilet bowl. It seems very sturdy. The elevated seat can be adjusted up or down the legs to fit most any height toilet. Our toilets were very low. Yours may be higher, but there is room to adjust.

It's not a perfect fit, but it works. (It bends because it doesn't have the support as say a non-elongated toilet). It supports my 30-35 lb son. I have used it on public toilets and airline toilets.

I LOVE this toilet, it is VERY sturdy and you won't have a feeling it will tip over. Looks great too. Only issue I have si with the seat, I still can't get it connected properly. Slides when connected. Not the toilet I just don't understand how to connect the seat properly. I would purchase it again..

Yes to both. I have an elongated and higher toilet. The legs will wobble a bit, but, is very sturdy. I've been using mine the last 4 months. Works great.

I found it stable. I would re-tighten the "screw" when I cleaned the toilet. You can tighten it as you sit on it. I would use my counter as support when I need to stand as my replaced hip healed.

Sorry, I have a regular sized toilet but I looked at it my regular sized toilet and it hangs over the edges 1 inch, I hope that helps. I can tell you I love it. It connects much better than the other one we have.

Technically it can but since it is longer than a round toilet seat, it will overhang and may break over time since there will be no support under it. Look for the round model instead

No, it does not. However, it seems to be stable on my toilet but I'm not sure about all toilets.

Not as easily as I would like. It gets stuck in the grout lines. If your tile doesn't have a lot of space between them, it would be a nice stool for you. I love mine, but I just use it by my bathroom vanity.

No. Its is not secured to anything. The horizontal bar at the base is put in front of the toilet bowl. You could try assembling with the bar behind, but you have to ASSSEMBLE it that way. I have moved mine to a low use br because I kept stubbing my toes against the bottom bars.

I don't think you should have a problem at all. It's not the cover that holds the weight, it's the toilet itself. It really fits perfect on any shaped seat. we love it

Yes! It's hard plastic that you just place under the toilet seat. Light weight. It when comes with clips for more narrow toilet bowls.

We used it over the toilet along with a grab bar on the wall. It made it easier for Mom to lift herself and later be lifted off the toilet. The padded nature of the commode is wonderful. Didn't feel it was tippy and probably could have been fastened to the floor with a two by four. It did the normal wiggling when a person moved up or down in it. We used it with the arms up. Were well satisfied.

It is really not designed for that. The question is not clear to me. If you had a 'chamber pot' you could move the seat, which does have small opening over it, but it could get messy.I would definitely not try it over a toilet. A commode to me is a free standing item with a back, arm rests, a seat with a large hole and a removable 'bucket' or pan. Better to get a real commode.

That is the best thing made for assistance on a bathroom commode. It is solid and secure no worry about it slipping away from you.It also will lift up so one can clesn around the commode.

It has a lip around the bottom which fits inside the bowl, effectively making it unable to slide off. May not fit as stable on an elongated commode - but works great on the round bowl.

I have never used it without a toilet seat, but it appears that you could because you put the standard seat up and then place the elevated seat on the toilet bowl. It fits very securely.
