Shower Chair U-Shape Seat (450lb) Heavy Duty – Padded Armrests and Back, Shower Chairs for Elderly and Disabled, Handicap, Shower Chair for Inside Shower, Adjustable Height – Blue

Reliable and sturdy product that I would recommend
Review for Shower Chair U-Shape Seat (450lb Heavy Duty) with padded armrests and back.Short Impression:Pro: A very reliable and sturdy product that I would recommend.Questionable:a) The chair may technically support 450 lbs, but I doubt someone of that size could comfortably fit into it—perhaps only without the handles.b) The padding on the seat and backrest doesn’t look like it will last long, though only time will tell.Con: None so far.Recommendations Before You Buy:Measure your bathtub very carefully. Amazon sells similar-looking chairs at lower prices, but the width between the front legs is 21”+, which will not fit into a standard U.S. bathtub that measures about 18”+ at the bottom.If you are experienced with assembly, you can skip this part. If, like me, you have zero experience, read on:1. Have both the manual and video ready before you start. Some steps are explained better in the manual, others in the video.2. Compare all items in the package against the list in the manual. Make sure everything is included and in the correct quantity. Believe me, you do not want to disassemble everything for a return once you are halfway through.3. Do not ignore the small metal rings that come with the screws (washers). They really add sturdiness to the chair.4. Do not tighten the screws immediately. Keep all of them loose until the very end, then tighten once you are satisfied with the fit. This makes assembly much easier.I am a 60-year-old woman with no prior assembly experience, and I was able to put it together by myself in about 40 minutes.Other Impressions:Comfort: The padded armrests and backrest are much more comfortable than plain plastic chairs. The U-shaped cutout in the seat is also very helpful for men—my family member noticed this immediately.Adjustable Height: Adjusting the height is simple. However, if you use a regular tub, you may not need to raise the chair. Personally, I would prefer it slightly lower, though that may depend on your height (I am petite).Safety: The rubber tips on the legs work well and keep the chair from slipping. Still, remind your loved ones to always use both handles when changing positions. Otherwise, the chair could lose balance and possibly tip.Overall:A strong, well-designed shower chair that provides confidence and safety. An excellent choice for the elderly, disabled, or anyone needing extra support while showering.

A Make-Sense Stout Shower Chair
I’ve had shower chairs in the past, this is by far a heavy duty one and comfortable, well made, greatly designed. It makes sense how it was designed with a gap right where it should be to facilitate optimum bathing while still sitting, whether female or male. I have an extra wide tub and it fits nicely and so if you have a narrow tub/ shower situation, it might not work well for you. It’s 20” wide at the outside of feet, chair facing shower. I did not need tools to put it together. All screws have turn knobs. Easy instructions even for a 70 yo female.

As promised product
Chair easy to assemble. So far after a few months holding up well for my husband. Not too heavy for me to move around. Drains quickly.

A shower chair that fits the bill.
It does require full assembly but follow the instructions and it is not difficult. The chair fulfilled all my expectations and is very comfortable. It fits easily into our older shower. We needed a shower chair with extra strength and width; this was it. I recommend it.
