Works well in a shower stall
Some of the negative reviews of this bath bench made me nervous. For that reason I had purchased a non-folding bath bench, but I really didn’t like that one as it took up a lot of space when not in use and was difficult to adjust. I found that none of the complaints on this model have been an issue for me. I’m using this in a shower stall and it fits just fine. It was easy to assemble and folds up fairly compact. Adjusting the height is easy. It’s very stable and easy to set up and fold away. I saw some complaints that it was difficult to set up correctly, but I found it’s actually more difficult to not set it up correctly. The legs are clearly marked A or B and where they attach are clearly marked A or B. Adjusting the height is easy. When you unfold it, it snaps securely into place. It’s take a little bit of effort, but it does unfold fairly easily as well. The feet hold firmly and do not slide around the bottom of the stall. The drain holes and textured surface keep water from pooling and prevent you from sliding around. I find this to be a good value and wish I purchased this one first instead of the non-folding one I started with.

Makes for a nice relaxing shower.
Well made and adjustable folds to an almost flat profile for easy carry. Unfolds and ready to use quick and EZ.

Folding Shower Chair
I was dissatisfied with my old, gray shower chair. It was large & awkward to move. I wanted something that I could store somewhere other than the bathtub. My new chair fills the bill perfectly. After it dries, I can just fold it up & store it in the closet. This is important for those of us who have other people using the shower. The legs that move snap securely into a groove under the seat. I would recommend this chair to a close friend or to a family member.

Be carful
I have had this seat for about a year and a half. It’s served us really well. I will caution you to be carful. I was just sitting on it washing my arms. It broke and flew out to the front of the shower. I hit my head on the tile and my calves on the bench. I still give it 4 stars. Nothing lasts forever. Just be carful.

Great bench, great customer service
The first one I got, the seat was crooked and one of the legs was slightly shorter. There’s not an option to replace through Amazon, but called the manufacturer, they put through a complaint (as is their policy), and got me back over to Amazon to place the replacement order without the need to send the old one back, since it is defective. I have back and foot issues and this is super helpful so I can actually shower without pain and I’m not exhausted after

A bath bench that doesn’t fit in a bathtub. Ridiculous.
UPDATE: I went to start a return and this item is NOT returnable! I am left to my own devices to try to get the manufacturer to take it back and they won’t. I am furious. If you REALLY feel you need this, carefully check all measurements a few times before you do because once you get it, it’s yours even if it nearly kills you.Review:As many other reviewers have said, this folding shower bench does’t quite fit in a traditional bathtub. I can’t figure out why on earth Drive Medical would not have measured a standard tub and made this thing fit. I need a bath bench temporarily because I had cochlear implant surgery recently and my balance is off. I don’t want to risk falling. I need one that folds because space is limited and I don’t have room for a big shower seat. This one fit the bill so I got it – without reading the reviews. Not smart.It doesn’t sit flush on the tub floor. The feet are just a tad too wide so they sit on one side right but, on the other side, they are raised a bit because they are hitting the tub wall. To be fair, the leg extenders are easy to put on and the height is adjustable. I have no problems folding the bench. It folds like a TV tray. It seems to be sturdy enough for me. I did not shower with it. I just sat on it with my husband nearby in case it tipped over. I am 130 pounds and I don’t rely heavily on the seat. I have my feet planted on the tub floor and could stand up if I felt the bench was not stable. I probably could use this but it would rock a little. The question is, would the legs give way and collapse causing me injury? I can’t risk that.This bench would probably suffice in a shower stall or wider tub if you’re not too heavy and and don’t need help with propping up your back and handles to help you to stand up. It’s bare bones. And it’s stupid because they made the legs just a tinnnyyy bit too wide to securely fit into a tub and didn’t tell anyone that. I have to send it back although I could probably manage to use it and deal with the wobbliness. But I paid for something to keep me safe in the shower, not to risk busting my head open each time I use it. I would not recommend it to anyone even if it did fit well. This one was and is disappointing. *I cannot return this so I threw away $33.00.. Don’t be like me. Buy something else.

A neighbour lent my wife an identical stool while we waited for delivery of this one. It is absolutely ideal for the job. Very sturdy and easy to put together when received. I recommend it. This supplier was half the price of a local shop, and cheaper than others on Amazon.

I received the Drive Medical Folding Chair as described but since it was to be a gift did not assemble it right away. In the time until it was able to be used, the term for returning it through Amazon had expired, however, I discovered that when the chair was assembled it was not quite straight for reasons which could not be ascertained. I contacted the Drive manufacturer and explained our situation. The representative from the company promptly contacted us by e-mail within a day and requested that I send them the registration number on the seat along with a photo of the problem described. Once again, in a very short time they responded to tell me that a replacement would be sent out and what I was to do with the defective chair. The replacement seat was as it should be and my wife is very pleased with this product. I think that any company/seller who attend to issues, such as we had, so promptly and so satisfactorily should be praised for doing so. I would do business with them again in the future.
