Drive Medical Bariatric Heavy-Duty Bathroom Bench with Back, Gray

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

it was horrible trying to buy just the right chair that would fit a small 17 inch tub. the tub is over 40 years old and most of the chairs are made for standing showers or large tubs and are simply to big. well this one fits great and gives back support with the back. it was a little confusing putting it together but i was able to figure it out eventually.

This is the 4th bench I have had over the past many years. It is the first one I have had to assemble. The screws and nuts came loose in the box and a couple were missing. I assembled it and have to tighten the center screw beneath the seat every time I use it. Yes, I used the locking nut when I assembled it. Now, not 3 weeks out, the side seam on the plastic seat has split and is collecting water. Geez. Also, the height adjustment holes on the legs face outward and collect water so every time you remove it from the shower water leaks all over. The only way to empty the legs is to turn the bench upside down and water leaks out the screw holes. What a mess. I just called Drive, the manufacturer, and they are sending me a new bench. Hope this one is better but I doubt it.

I have a son with epilepsy (seizures) and he is 6ft 3 and 230 lbs. He had had a few seizures in tub. This chair has worked great for him and I. We use a shower wand and sit . It is very sturdy easy to assemble , holds around 500 max weight I think , dries well , water runs through seat. This is the second one , the first lasted for years. Try one , you will enjoy it.

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.
