Replacing a 9-year old unit (same brand/model); some weatherizing tips
Update #2 (11/27/20): Two things: 1) needed to cut down the chair 3-inches, so that when mom gets out on/off chair, she can touch the ground, and b) after only a few weeks, found some rust inside one of the inside legs. To reduce the height, I did two things: a) for the outside legs, I used the outer slider legs from the old chair, which were shorter by a couple inches, and for the inside legs, I cut 1-1/2 inches off the fixed leg, and another 1-1/2 inches off the adjustable leg. For the rust inside the leg, there is only one drain hole, so I added two more (every 120 degrees), by drilling a 1/8 inch hole near the end, and then using cutters to open to a U-shaped cut-out. Also raised the six-prong tubing nut inside the tube by driving it with a punch further up into the tube (away from the foot), so that it is higher up. I suspect water is entering from the adjustable button entry holes, so I will probably add a rubber tube (like a bicycle tube to waterproof that area as well. The ideal solution would be to prevent the water from reaching the steel six-prong nut, which you could do by plugging, and then having the drain above that point. Update (11/16/20): Some post installation notes: a) this chair is a couple inches taller than the 9-year old model. On the in-tub legs, I was able to drill one more hole to lower it another 1/2 inch. If you application needs to be lower, the next step would be to cut some length down off the inside legs (the outside legs have lots of adjustment left). Summary: This is for an elderly parent, it's replacing the same model, which has held up well, but there are some areas which corroded (expected), so I did some weatherizing steps to prolong the life of the replacement unit. Observations: The previous model chair worked exceptionally well. Very sturdy, in-tub suction rubber feet did not move. Overall very easy to install, adjust and maintain. Recommendations: As you can see from the attached pictures, the common failure areas are the steel fasteners, and those will rust if water gets in. So I did two mitigations: 1) I applied white silicone sealant to the fastener head, or tube opening, and 2) I added O-rings to slow down water intrusion. I happened to have a metric O-ring set, so the sizes are metric, but you get the idea. There are a total twelve (12) joints that can be sealed with an O-ring. The first four are the two for the chair back, and the other two for the side handle. Used a 25mm O-ring for these. Next four are the UPPER leg joint, right above the highest plastic cap, same 25mm O-ring. Last four are above the lower leg, which is adjustable for height, those are a slightly larger 28mm O-ring. Pros: Good fit & finish; sturdy. Cons: None. Conclusion: At $62, rating this one 5-stars, based on prove performance (same brand, similar model).

Great solution when tub entry is difficult
Great shower bench, especially when entry is difficult. The suction cups on the legs inside the tub hold it firmly in place. It works well for me at 5'4" and for my husband at 5'10". We both weigh just under 200lbs. We are both in our 80s. I need knee replacements so stepping into a tub was not realistic. We can both easily swing our legs into and out of the tub from the bench extension. Weight is perfect for keeping the curtain inside the tub while showering. My only quandary was how to keep water in the tub with the seat extension. This may be obvious to others but it took me a while to understand what I needed to do. I didn't want to cut my existing shower curtain so I bought another inexpensive one on Amazon. Kept both curtains mounted on the rod. Measured the distance between the poles on the seat extension and cut slits in the new curtain. Pulled the resulting flap between the seats. Works great. Helps if there's a second person on hand to make sure the flap is covering the tub opening. I'm including some photos to clarify what I did. Took me less than 5 minutes to cut the slits the proper width apart.

Perfect for help getting in + curtains trick
(1) Way too many reviews by folks who don’t READ the description. This is meant to STRADDLE THE TUB so part of the bench is OUTSIDE on the floor! This is so you can sit down, scoot around and swing your legs over the edge of the tub, then scoot fully inside. This is NOT MEANT TO FIT FULLY INSIDE THE TUB like a standard shower bench. This is amazingly helpful for someone like my mom who can’t step over the edge, even with the safety handles I have on the wall and tub itself. (2) If you let the shower curtain go from inside the tub to the outside of the bench, water will sheet down the curtain onto the floor. If you bunch it up over the top of the bench, your elbow will push it outward and water will get onto the floor. Can’t believe it’s not addressed in the instruction manual or by any reviews I could find here, so sharing what I did… I have a decorative curtain that I left as is, but I modified the inexpensive clear liner that I already had - and it’s cheap to add one if you need something to modify for yourself. I made sure that the bench was in the desired location, then cut a simple slit from the bottom up just above the bench height. When mom gets in, she pulls the curtain closed as usual, making sure the slit is above the bench, and the sides naturally drape front and back and stay inside the tub without worrying about it getting pushed outside as she bathes. Easy! And with just a simple slit, it still works as usual when someone uses the shower without the bench. Finally, we received the bench is perfect condition, with the original box packed snugly inside another shipping box, it was extremely easy to assemble, and the two rows of holes spaced 1/2” apart allowed me to easily set it up level even though the tub was almost 2” higher inside than the floor. Mom used it for the first time today and said it felt very safe and sturdy, and worked perfectly with the hand-held shower head we already have. Obvs no longterm feedback yet, but I’m going to make a point of drying it off each time to stave off any rust. So at this point, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Purchased after recently breaking both ankles. Excellent product, would highly recommend. The holes in the seat allow water to drain; I had tried solid seats ... much prefer this design. Easily adjusts to different height inside tub, versus outside on the floor. Suction cup legs on inside of tub. Extremely sturdy .. the backrest and side handle give extra sense of security. My brother tried the bench and he was 20 lbs over the weight limit .. the bench was solid as a rock

After my husband's accident we needed something to make it easier to get him into the tub/shower. This bench was a life saver. Having it meant that we did not have to have home care for him. I was able to take care of it. Easy to assemble and light weight. Great price, cheaper than renting as we needed for several months. To remove suction cups and remove from tub can be tricky depending on how agile you are. I recommend this product.

Bought this chair for my husband to use after surgery and so glad I did. It fit in regular size tub and was very secure, good grip to the floor of the tub. Excellent that it had a back to the chair to keep him securely in it as his balance was off after the surgery. Good product and happy with the purchase.

So far so good. Excellent for someone who has had a knee replacement. Allows the person to slide right into the shower.The only problem is it makes it hard to close the shower curtain. It's also very bulky and takes up quite a bit of space.

Husband weighs 270 pounds and it worked great following knee replacement. Came in use again a few months later when he broke his arm on unrelated fall off a two-step stool (a two-step stool is not a recommended item ). Very handy to have, better than renting.
