Helped my grandmom get up and out of the tub after a nice hot bubble bath. I combined with the inexpensive rail I attached onto the side so she can get a hold, be safe and comfortable. Great price and fit the old tub! I looked and looked at other options. This was the one. Thanks Amazon.

I ordered the bathtub seat following knee revision surgery. I have a shower at home and love the shower benches for that, but am staying with my sister following surgery and she has only tub/showers. I find tubs scary - I have fallen too many times with my bad knee. The seat fits firmly into the tub and is stable and comfortable. It would be ideal for bathing as the seat is only a couple inches above the tub. For showering it is more awkward: hard to maneuver under the shower (even to reach the controls - a handheld shower would help a lot) and very hard to stand up at the end - it's only sightly better than standing up from a flat surface, like the tub itself; the main reason I bought it was to avoid that problem along with falling and slipping.

Unless your bath tub is 5 feet deep, this bath seat is completely pointless. The whole idea is to get the person off of the bottom of the bathtub floor, but this doesn't do that at all, it is practically touching the bottom! And I've tired it in several different homes with various bath tubs... NOT worth the money!
