I put the chair together and have been using it for a month now after foot surgery. I notice that rust has started around the middle screw holding all the legs together. I thought this was strange since it is a shower chair and will on occasion get wet. It also said it was adjustable. You must have to be REALLY strong to get those pegs to move because they have not budged. The height is good for what I need now, but I thought I could continue using it as a stool later on. Guess that is not to be. Don't get me wrong, I do like it. I mean it is the only round one I have found and is easy to move around on it. Just wish it was more user friendly on the buttons and did not have part of the assembly rusting. I don't think it is the big screw it self that I rusting, but the ring that goes around it maybe.

I had read reivews so I coated the bolts and washers with clear acrylic to prevent their rusting. I also enlarged the very small openings in the rubber caps for the legs, to allow water to pass through more easily. However, after a few weeks rust started showing up where the legs were draining. The legs are made of aluminum and wouldn't rust, so I guess it must the springs inside them allowing the legs to be adjusted causing the rust. I'm not sure, but rust was there. I finally threw it away yesterday.

The Carex Round Shower Stool is a good fit for a normal size bathtub or shower stall.

I like this product however Carex could make this into a great product instead of a just OK product by making two changes.

1. The Carex Round Shower Stool is a little bit flimsy. By adding crossbars to the legs of the stool would give this product a much more secure feeling as well as being able to support more weight.
2. The seat is molded plastic which is fine but there are no holes in the seat for water to drain from. So when you sit on it when wet and then stand up, the standing water on the stool acts as a seal between the plastic seat and your butt and the stool (because it is so light weight) tends to stick momentarily until the weight of the seat breaks the seal and falls back down. The recommendation here is for Carex to add some water drainage holes.

With those changes this would be a great product. The product as currently designed is adequate.

This round stool is a solid seat and fits will in my small old bathtub.

This is a well-made item that will make life easier for me. Light to move and even has 4 indentations underneath on all sides that act as handles making it easier to grab and move. Many uses including drying off after shower...gives you a place to sit. Great price now!

Carex Round Shower Stool
I ordered this stool in September 2007 to take on vacation. The stool is a perfect size to fit in small tubs and showers. It is easy to assemble. I have no trouble adjusting height of stool.

Once the seat came off when I picked up stool by the seat. I tightened the screw by using a wrench and pliers. No problems since then.

I paid $28.50 + $6.88 shipping. I could have free shipping but did not have time to wait the extra days. Current price is only $21.99.

Amazon's $6.88 shipping price was reasonable. I paid $13 to ship home the stool because I did not want to carry it on the airplane.

I highly recommend this stool, especially at the current low price. I meant to give it a five-star rating but accidentally clicked on four stars.

My daughter has CP and she recently fracture her knee. She finally got out of her cast and would love a bath but could only take a shower at this time. I really wanted the rectangle shape shower chair, but with this round stool fits perfectly in the tub, shower and our RV shower. You can break it down if you want to. My daughter can manuever around in the tub and shower. But you really can't manuever around in a rectangle shape shower chair. It is easy to clean and wipe dry. I read some review about it rusting but I have no problem with the stool. I recommend this stool. Very happy.

I am using shower stool since 1 month, i have noticed that rust is forming around screw of seat.Why rust should form when it is supposed to used under shower?

We found it difficult to buy a round shower stool in our area, so we turned to Amazon and found several. This one met our criteria, so we ordered it. Shipment was super fast, and the product lived up to all expectations. A sturdy unit that should last for years.

The Carex round shower stool is very well made. It is sturdy. Its great that you can adjust the legs of the stool. We had shopped around to find one of this size. It is a perfect size for our shower/tub. The price was excellent and we received it in a timely manner. Very happy with the stool. Thank you.
