If you have difﬁculty climbing stairs, the simple solution is the installation of a Bruno stairlift. Today’s stairlifts are available for curved and straight rail staircases. They’re quiet, clean, compact and extremely efﬁcient.

$549,900 3729 GLEN OAKS

“But a stairlift will block the stairs!” Bruno stairlifts, when folded, can be as narrow as 13”. Options to “park” the stairlift away from the end of the stairs allows for furniture moving without needing to remove the stairlift.

“I really can’t afford any costly renovations!” No major renovations are required. Bruno stairlift tracks mount directly to the stair tread, not the wall, so no alterations are necessary. No special power is needed and no restoration is required to remove the stairlift.
