Hi Barbara,
Thank you for inquiring with IndeMedical.com!
The image does look like it comes close to the flush handle, but it does not interfere with flushing. The unit is height adjustable and it sits about 3" away from the back of the toilet.
You can order online 24/7 or give us a call at 480-704-3807.
Thanks Barbara,
Mike Benge
