5.0 out of 5 stars Note that the height is adjustable. Very strong and well made.
It's not mentioned in the description but the bottom part of the legs adjust by screwing in and out of the top part of the legs. This provides about a 5 inch range of height adjustment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Shower Chair
The chair works great but like most normal bathtubs, the chair is a little to wide. Other than that it's great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Note that the height is adjustable. Very strong and well made., April 6, 2007
This review is from: Carex Universal Bath Bench (Health and Beauty)
It's not mentioned in the description but the bottom part of the legs adjust by screwing in and out of the top part of the legs. This provides about a 5 inch range of height adjustment. With the legs fully extended, the height of the seat is about 21 inches. The bench is very strong and well made from molded plastic. There is no hardware - the legs slide into the base and lock in position. You would need to use a pen or something to depress the locking button when you want to remove the legs. This bench is also available with a backrest from amazon, but it costs $58 versus the bargin price or $25 for this one without the back. Here is the amazon page for the same bench including back: [...]

5.0 out of 5 stars Bath Bench Too Large for Residential Shower, January 4, 2008
This review is from: Carex Universal Bath Bench (Health and Beauty)
This bath bench is supposed to be a universal size but is too large for a residential shower. Size was not included in the description. The bench is an excellent product (very strong, height is adjustable)but is 21 inches long and 18 inches wide and takes up half the shower. I wish I could have used it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great purchase, January 14, 2008
This review is from: Carex Universal Bath Bench (Health and Beauty)
We bought this bath bench to replace the standard shower chair with a back and aluminum legs. This bath bench is SO MUCH BETTER - it is sturdier (and I'm a woman of ample size), easier to keep clean and because of the way the legs are constructed, no water can get inside them, so no kind of rusty/crusty-looking spots to worry about. Plus, the feet of this bath bench are much thicker and sturdier rubber than the conventional shower chair. That was why we had to toss our old one -one of the rubber feet wore through and we were afraid the bathtub would get scratched. Replacement feet were pretty expensive and in any case, as pleased as I am with this bath bench, it's probably a good thing I didn't spend $ on replacement parts for the old one. This bath bench is also a wonderful value and Amazon gave me free shipping (LOVE YOU AMAZON!!!) I'm very happy!

My mother is over-weight and has problems standing for very long. I bought this chair and it is awesome for her to use. It is very sturdy, and easy to put together compaired to the other one I purchased.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stable & Trustworthy!, August 28, 2007
By Jsarirose "jsarirose" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Carex Universal Bath Bench (Health and Beauty)
I bought the stool when I was recovering from foot surgery and couldn't stand well. I looked at them at a local store first and this was the one recommended, then I bought it online. It's very stable, no concerns about tipping. I'm a heavy woman (over 200 lbs) and it feels fine. I have a 3/4 tub and it fits fine. There is no back to it, it's very simple. But I'm still using it as it's great when I need to shave my legs or work on my feet in the shower. And there is room for both the stool and me in the shower, I just leave it inside. It stays very clean, it's not susceptible to mold and mildew.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy duty, April 29, 2008
This review is from: Carex Universal Bath Bench (Health and Beauty)
I highly recommend this bath bench...I use it in my stall shower. It is well made and designed. The only caution is that you make sure that its size will fit where you want...it may be too large for some older/smaller tubs. Otherwise, there are only positives:
-Heavy duty and sturdy
-No metal parts to rust
-Less than 2 minutes to assemble, no tools needed
-Easy and secure height adjustment
-Can be adjusted for uneven surfaces
-Made in the USA

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a wonderful product!!, March 23, 2008
By C. E. Montz "cmlegalsec" (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Carex Universal Bath Bench (Health and Beauty)
I ordered this bench as a replacement for one "inherited" from an aging relative several years ago. It had aluminum legs and rubber stoppers, but finally needed to be replaced. I had gotten used to having a bath bench for shaving legs and foot care while in the shower, and found this reasonably priced bench with other good reviews. It turned out to be true that it is very sturdy, easy to assemble, and can be easily disassembled if you wish to take it somewhere with your or are moving. The bench is comfortable and well constructed, and one can feel safe that it won't move out of place when sitting or arising. I am very pleased with this purchase and vendor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't be better., July 31, 2007
This review is from: Carex Universal Bath Bench (Health and Beauty)
When I ordered this bench I wasn't sure it would fit in my narrow built-in tub/shower. But it fits easily. It's sturdy and gives good support. One word of caution: If you shower standing up then sit to wash your hair, be sure to rinse the soapy water off before you sit down. A real plus is the adjustable leg height. Amazon makes ordering easy and saves me time and money by not having to run around looking for what I need.
