This shower seat is light but sturdy and stable. My wife has been using it for several months now with no problems. One thing I noticed that makes this seat different from others is that its front legs stick out further than the back ones. This is ideal for my wife who uses the seat for shaving and must lean forward. Because of the leg arrangement, the seat doesn't tip forward.

Her only complaint was that there was a thin ridge of plastic sticking up from the seat that had been left over from the manufacturing process. A sharp knife and a minutes worth of whittling took care of that.

The stool leaves a lot to be desired. It is fine in the open position, stable and comfortable. But trying to fold it is ridiculously hard. The bracket that secures the folding leg grips it very hard, and a significant amount of force is needed to release the leg for folding. Also, in the folded position the stool would not stay upright in the shower stall, it fell over constantly. I gave up on it in the shower and now keep it in the garage to sit on when washing the wheels of my car. I replaced it in the shower with an excellent folding teak stool I found at Bed, Bath & Beyond, it takes up less room, folds easily, and does not fall over when leaned on the shower wall.
