Drive Medical Bariatric Heavy-Duty Bathroom Bench with Back, Gray | Bariatric Bathroom Bench Features Supportive Back for Sturdy, Comfortable Bathing at Home, Gray Finish

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.

I put my chair together. The instructions need to be better. I had one bolt left and it was too long to go through the cross bars to get tightened. I got another part from my garage. It's a heavy sturdy chair and that's what I looked for. It's lightweight enough to move. I don't weigh 500lbs but I am over 300 and can't stand up long enough to shower. I have copd. This chair will help me take a nice shower and not getting short of breath. I bought a few others and they were too flimsy. I would buy this again.

This a great chair and very strong and I recommend it! It is the only chair that has lasted more than a couple of weeks of my wife's use. The pins that secure the legs look cheap but I have not had any problems with them yet. Some of the molding gates were left on the clamps also. You will have to spend some time putting it together. It took me about 45 minutes including reading the instructions. The only problem so far was water drainage. There are no holes in the feet of this chair. Therefore, the legs will hold water. I had to drill a hole in each foot for drainage. I also drilled a couple of holes at the lowest point on the plastic seat, the lowest point on the bottom of the plastic back and in the bottom of lower back support around the front clamp area. This fixed the drainage problem. There looks to be a steal disk on the inside of each foot that appears to be rusting. Therefore, I think the feet will need to be replaced eventually. The chair works well on slightly uneven bath tubs like mine also. Seat split after about 8 months. Tried to contact Econo Mobility for a warranty clam but after 3 phone calls, no return calls and a week I gave up. I will not order from this supplier again! Also Drive will only work with their suppliers. If buying a Drive product I would work with someone local.

Nice an sturdy. I purchased this for my elderly Aunt. She doesn't weigh much, but, I wanted the added protection of the heavier structure so I could have piece of mind when she is bathing. I very much recommend this product.

Easy to use and setup

I love this shower chair. Standing is an on going issue and makes showering very tiring. This chair came to the rescue. The only thing is I needed the seat to be deeper. The width is good, but the depth is short. Overall I recommend this shower chair.

One of the cross braces is too short - there is no way that the holes will line up and it cannot be fully assembled. I don't feel I should have to pay return shipping for a defective item. As I unpacked it, it was obvious that this chair had already been returned once - scratches around the holes on the metal tubes, very haphazard packaging and partially assembled components were all dead give aways. I should have stopped right there but I didn't want to give up before I even started. Since I can't find a way to actually communicate with a real person on Amazon, I'm going to try contacting Drive Medical and see what they have to say about this. I'm very familiar with Drive products and they've all been top notch. Of course, I've bought all of them at my local medical supply dealer. Too bad.

I need to change my review on this product. I gave it 5 star because it has been a very sturdy and safe shower chair. I purchased it on May 18, 2025. But then tonight I noticed the bottom seat of the chair is starting to split. The frame has been good, but the plastic for the seat is not sturdy enough. I had another chair that did the same thing. Very dissatisfied that the seat has started to split so soon.

it has been a long time able to have a long shower since I am uncable to stand for more than 5 minutes. This chair makes it easier to have a normal shower and wash my hair now.

Came damaged on front end. Bought for Bariatric patient who is well below weight limit and she sank into the seat. We got her up very quickly. The plastic seat very soft. Thought maybe just a defective seat so reached out to seller who asked for pictures. (Very reasonable request) then seller tried placing blame on us by saying it’s not the same chair they shipped and not same as shown on Amazon (which is ridiculous as it’s exactly the same and same as pictured. I would highly recommend not buying from this seller. This has been my personal experience.

It's No Medline, But It Is Working Somewhat Good For Me The Only Issue Ive Found Is The Screws Dont Seem To Tight en Very Much And Leaves You Feeling Like It'll Fall Apart While You're On It.

very good chair, a little wobbly but ok.

We ordered this particular tub chair for my mother who has medical conditions with limited mobility. The chair itself was made from solid material, but it wasn't very user friendly. It was very difficult for her to get in and out of the tub/ shower easily, which was disappointing. This particular brand has usually been dependable but that wasn't the case this time.
