I was impressed with everything about this bath chair. The molded pieces have threaded brass fittings that allow the legs and supports to be screwed to them accurately. The back has two clips that allow it to be quickly removed. Height is easily adjustable. Cross braces attach firmly.

It just all fits well, and when you are done, you feel like you have a strong, waterproof chair that will be safe in the bathroom.

The nuts have decorative plastic covers that don't seem to serve any purpose other than decoration.

But this chair is exactly what I need right now, and I am totally pleased with the quality.

After having this chair for a month, I note that the seat suddenly "pushed down" while I was taking a shower. I was sitting off center. Since then the "smile" starts to frown if I don't sit carefully centered. I'm still using it, I don't want to replace it, but I'm just not as happy with it. I verified that the claimed capacity for this chair is 500 lbs, I'm nowhere near that.

The legs still seem very strong, but the bench needs to be a little stiffer. I believe that this sort of failure is due to skimping on material. If I could change my review, I'd drop between 1 and 2 stars.

This was bought for my mother and it is used every day. She has had it around a year and it is very secure. Was a little hard to put together. Very good item.

I got this due to a temporary injury. It was honestly a pain to put together, but once together, it worked flawlessly. The rubber feet kept it from moving, and the slightly curved seat made it to I could sit comfortably while I used it. I used it for about 3 months, and it never faltered.
