Medline Shower Chair for Elderly, Seniors, Adults & Disabled - Heavy Duty Shower Seat with Padded Arms and Back for Inside Shower, Adjustable Height Bath Stool for Bathtub, 350 lb, Slip Resistant

Safe, Sturdy, and Easy to Assemble Shower Chair The Medline shower chair really delivers on both safety and convenience. Assembly was refreshingly simple—no tools needed, just a few hand-tightened screws and snapping the armrests into place. It took me less than 10 minutes to set up. Once in the shower, it feels very stable. The wide rubber feet grip securely and prevent slipping, even on wet tile. The lightweight aluminum frame makes it easy to move, yet it’s solid enough to support up to 350 lbs without wobbling. The adjustable height is a thoughtful feature—I could fine-tune it so that getting up and sitting down felt natural and safe. The backrest and padded armrests add an extra layer of comfort and security. I found the armrests especially helpful for steadying myself when standing up. The seat itself is hard plastic—durable, but not cushioned—so a waterproof cushion might be worthwhile for longer showers. Drainage holes keep water from pooling, which is a nice touch. For the price, the overall quality is excellent. It’s not a bulky piece of equipment and fits well in a standard tub or walk-in shower. The only small caution is to make sure all four legs are adjusted to the same height for maximum stability. Bottom line: A reliable, affordable shower chair that combines sturdiness with easy setup. Perfect for seniors, post-surgery recovery, or anyone needing extra support in the shower.

Bought this shower chair for mom and it is great! Easy to assemble, sturdy, stable (wide-stance) and light-weight. So comfortable that it has been used in her shower and in her room. Great value!

Love this very well made shower chair, which was simple to assemble. I like that the height is easily adjusted, and that the holes in the seat allow water to drain through. Also like the rubber on the feet that keep it from slipping, and the comfortable arms. Good purchase.

After a sudden accident, I needed a shower chair fast and didn’t have time to shop around. I chose the Medline shower chair out of necessity, and after nearly two months of use, I can confidently say it exceeded expectations. At 240 lbs, I needed something sturdy and dependable to transition safely from my wheelchair to the shower. This chair has been rock solid—no wobble, no doubt. The build quality is excellent, with a finish that looks clean and professional, not cheap or flimsy. For the price, it’s a fantastic value, especially for a product that absolutely must perform every single time. One thing to note: the rubber feet are designed to grip the shower floor, which means once it’s wet and in place, it won’t budge. That’s a safety feature, not a flaw—but it’s worth positioning it carefully before turning on the water. I would absolutely purchase this again. It’s a great product that delivers peace of mind when you need it most.

This review will help instruct those who may have concerns about its assembly. I'll provide tips, safety concerns, and my overall opinion of the "Guardian" model Bath Bench with Back and Arms (made by Medline). Plus advice on purchasing a bath Bench at the end of the review. Assembly is Quick and Simple (though the assembly instructions should be better detailed). The nut screws are all "hand twist knobs" so they're safe to put together. No tools are required. Warning: The Bolts are not all the same size. [Remember... Match the "A" portion of the leg to the "A" portion on the seat. Same with the "B" Portion of The leg, to the B on the seat. Use the correct size bolt (All knob nuts fit all the bolts provided). [Careful not to misplace/lose a curved little black metal piece ("nickel size") with a hole in the middle.] The legs cross in an "X" manner and that small piece (I mentioned) will structurally make the bench stronger.] Upon completing your assembly you'll notice the legs are not 100% flush/flat to the ground (though not by much... Not a big issue). The arm assistance bars (on the sides) appear a bit weak and shaky. These (arm) bars are held together by a THIN circular aluminum composite, at the sides. My fear is they could possibly break off over time; Especially if you apply a lot of weight or pressure when using. Nonetheless, the bench/chair is lite, adjustable, and strong with the exception of the side arm bars though my opinion is mostly "speculative" (over time)... I researched the prices of other Bath Benches (with their amenities) along with all personal reviews from other customers; Compared them side by side with this chair and came to my final conclusion; This Chair beats them all. The "Medline" company is well known and used highly in hospitals. The price, overall quality, and positive reviews by others make this bath bench "a Great Value Choice". My review may appear a bit long and worrisome but the positives outway the negatives. It's no "Tesla/Royal Royse" as far as chairs go, but it's a pretty safe place to relax your butt on. Isn't that what we all want? I'm pretty sure the bench comes with a warranty as well (though I never bother with those). For those purchasing a Bath Bench for the first time... If you have a small tub, a curved, small, or narrow bath floor; I suggest getting a thinner bench. Possibly one with no sidebars (based on their width) and definitely without any backrest. The price is cheaper but more importantly, you'll need better ground support, for your safety. A bench placed sideways with a backrest would make it nearly impossible to sit and bathe properly. If your Bath floor is not a problem, this chair is practically Ideal.

Chair arrived very well packaged. The box was actually made for the box containing the chair! It went together very easily with no tools required - All the fasteners were wing nuts. It's very sturdy and adjustable. Would definitely buy again.

Until you experience a debilitating injury or endure a life changing surgery, you'll never realize how vital a well-made shower chair will be to you. This is a great chair AND it is easy to put together and take apart for storage.

What I love about this is the simple fast assembly. A few long screws with little attachments on the ends so you can easily turn them by hand attaches the legs and back, and the arm rests just snap into place without screws. No bolts needed, no screwdriver or tools needed. If I can do this anyone can. I did have a friend tighten the screws as they are a bit snug going into the holes but still I could have done it myself if I had to. If you have any arthritis in your fingers and hands that might present a problem but it's still doable, it's not too stiff or difficult. Very sturdy also with nice big feet and thick rubber on the bottoms means this won't slip, although I still have a large rubber bath mat on the bottom of the tub. I am getting a waterproof cushion for this as it's hard plastic, not the most comfortable. I was hoping to find a chair with a slight curve to the seat rather than a flat hard one but they don't make shower chairs like that. I feel safe using this. I don't see how it would ever collapse or tip over. The armrests are there to help boost you up out of the chair using your hands. But if you are like me you may want to seek a waterproof cushion for it which are available on Amazon. I don't see that the seat height is adjustable but it's about the right height, not too low or too high. I have a small tub and this fits it.
