MedMobile Bathtub Transfer Bench / Bath Chair With Back, Wide Seat, Adjustable Seat Height, Sure-Griped Legs, Lightweight, Durable, Rust-Resistant Shower Bench

Easy to assemble and functioned as anticipated.

As a caregiver for my mobility-challenged mother, I've tried my fair share of assistive devices, and let me tell you, not all are created equal. But the Bathtub Transfer Bench/Bath Chair has been a game-changer, providing my mother with the support and stability she needs to safely enjoy her daily bathing routine.Assembly was a breeze, even with my fumbling hands. The clear instructions and simple design made the process quick and painless. And once it was assembled, the bench stood sturdy and unwavering, no matter how much my mother leaned on it for support.The wider-than-expected seat provides ample room for my mother to comfortably sit, and the non-slip surface ensures she stays put even when wet. The backrest is a welcome addition, offering extra support for her back and shoulders.Cleaning the bench is a breeze. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and let it air dry. However, I've found that letting it dry completely in the sunlight or hand drying it helps prevent any mildew growth.One thing to note is that the bench is wider than it appears in pictures, so be sure to measure the space you intend to use it in before buying. You don't want it to end up feeling cramped or obstructing the shower door.Overall, the Bathtub Transfer Bench/Bath Chair has been an invaluable addition to our household. It has given my mother the confidence and independence she needs to bathe safely and without fear of falling. As a caregiver, it's given me peace of mind knowing that she's supported and secure.If you're looking for a sturdy, easy-to-clean, and supportive bathtub transfer bench for your loved one, I highly recommend this one. It's a lifesaver, and it will make bath time a much more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

This particular bench was selected by a physical therapist who scanned through the Amazon options on my phone. It arrived in manufacturer’s packaging that was undamaged. It was easy to inventory the parts and put it together. I used a Phillips screwdriver and adjustable wrench I had on hand. No issues with screws not lining up or missing parts. Actually had extra parts as the manual stated I would have. It is stable in the shower and works as intended for 135 pound person. I checked it after a few uses, nothing has loosened, I would recommend.

I got the item ok. The instructions were very hard to understand, writing very small as well, pictures confusing. I finally got it put together to realize I had the seat back in wrong position and had to take apart and start again. The chair was missing the bottom endcap to one of the ends. Probably not super critical, but would be nice to have all the parts. Haven't used this yet, but it appears to be sturdy.

DO NOT BUY THIS. Assembly is hopelessly complicated.I am a fairly mechanically oriented guy. I have a pretty good home machine shop including lathe, TIG welder, and 3-axis DRO mill; I could talk you through assembling a racing engine on the phone without looking at manuals or notes. I am also an engineer, very familiar with design issues and tradeoffs. The assembly process for this chair is probably the most incompetently designed one I have ever encountered.Start with the hardware: Supplied quantities were wrong, fortunately leaving extra bolts not a shortage. But many consumers might be concerned about having extra parts after finishing. The bolt heads appear to be Phillips but they are not. Using a Phillips (#2) screwdriver to tighten these could easily damage bolts, screwdriver, or both. The heads are a much better fit to a Pozidriv screwdriver, though still not perfect and not marked as Pozidriv . Don't know what Pozidriv is? Another reason to not buy this product. Bolts are helpfully color-coded except when they forgot to put the color on them. There are too many sizes, with lengths varying by only 5mm, less than a quarter inch. The instructions are a Xerox copy, featuring extremely low resolution, thus almost useless, images.No tools are provided, though the provided tools for this type of product are usually such junk that it doesn't matter. You'll need a #2 Pozidriv screwdriver and a 10mm ratchet wrench if though some misfortune you end up owning one of these.Now on to design stupidity: There are labels on the main frame pieces saying "Face Outside." These are paper labels that wrap literally halfway around the leg. So WHAT part of the leg is to be assembled facing outside? And what direction is "OUTSIDE?" Guess wrong on this and you will not be able to fully assemble the chair. Of course this assembly step is the first one, so if you guess wrong you have to disassemble maybe half your work and re-assemble the damned thing again. This idiocy is completely unnecessary. There are three holes in the top of each frame piece that could have been slotted. Had this been done, there would be no possibility of mistake and no need for cryptic labels. Since both rails are fabricated on the same tooling, it would mean only three small changes to the tooling.Once assembled the thing appears to be adequate to do the job, but I suggest that you find a different bath chair where the assembly process has been competently designed. I am completely flabbergasted by the number of positive reviews of this product.
