Eagle Health Supplies Sliding Transfer Bench & Tub Shower Chair, Height Adjustable, Heavy-Duty Capacity up to 400 LBs, for Safety Shower, for Elderly & Disabled (77211)

After lots of research and measuring we are extremely happy! It fits our tub, is made well, and goes together easily. I can sit low (I am 5’-4”), it is stable, and I am stable in it! The chair glides well, locks firmly but I can reach the lock release easily. I really appreciate that you can remove the middle of the seat so you can clean private areas easier, and am happy for the side handle to make myself feel safer when I shift a bit. I use a shower head on a long hose and can reach everywhere. I put the shower head down between me and the side handle when I do not not want to hold it. I have made two vertical slits in the shower curtain liner where the two glide rods are, not quite as high as the rods. We have had no water leakage onto the floor (do be careful in pulling back the shower curtain liner when done - do slowly). I fully endorse this product!

Finally found something that works for my mom whose mobility with BAD knees is highly limited. I received the model with the swivel and lock features (Snap-N-Save 031055D, 37692 Swivel Sliding Transfer Bench X-Long )* The extra length allows for sitting (or being placed) normally outside the tub with ease of moving in or out of the tub using the swivel or not.* The seat is wide. The depth is like a good ledge. 20.5" x 13.75" .Again, the back is optional and easy to add (by a helper) after if needed. This worked for someone who needs a bigger seat.* The overall length and width measuring the feet is 48.5" x 19.75".* The handholds built into either side of the seat are great!* There are velcro straps that an act as a seat belt or handhold if you have to help someone slide slowly or if they can't slide well on their own.* The seat is hard plastic and textured with holes to drain. For long sitting times, delicate skin, or the need to slide to adjust seating a little, I would recommend covering it with a small hand towel or kitchen towel that isn't rough to sit on. That allows skin to move more easily on the seat and not leave impressions.* There is a small hole on either side of the seat that looks like it can be used for a handheld shower.* The minimum height from tub bottom to sitting is 20". It might be possible to get that to 19.25", but it depends on the way the feet have to turn. Practically installed, it's 20". If this is too much, you can find something to put in the tub to put your feet on for proper leg resting positioning depending your the health or height of the user.* It can be put together EASILY and with the pictured handrail on either side. I snapped it together and adjusted as needed in under 10 minutes (no instructions needed)* The seat can be set to lock in place on either end or not depending on which side you install the extension bar with the lock pins on the ends. I learned this by inadvertently doing that first (see last comment re:instruction).* It is lightweight.* For small spaces which are difficult to move in, the back comes off and on easily to allow even easier transport for storage.Some lessons learned:* I would recommend installing to lock the seat into place (easily unlocked to slide) for safety both when bathing and when getting up or down.* The swivel seat sits on a platform that locks. It does not have holes to drain through so water can sit between the seat and that. When finished, turn in on the side in some manner to finish draining dry in the tub.The back doesn't have to be used which was great for our need. It has been used one since receipt. We are VERY happy with it.I'll add some pictures too as I'm the kind of person that needs real world pics, especially when finding stuff like this which costs a lot and usually cannot be returned even it not used....

Had knee surgery and needed to get into our shower, which has a six inch ledge. This well constructed chair was the answer. It would work well with a tub.

While I much, much prefer the nicer padded shower chairs, I started getting frustrated with how easily the vinyl on them would rip, making them a health risk both in terms of bacterial and mold growth from dirty shower water soaking into the now-exposed foam inside, and the sharpness of the rips possibly cutting into your skin.So, this time around, I figured I'd try for something that'd hopefully last me a bit longer, where the lifespan of the bench wasn't dictated by the weakness of the cushions themselves. After a good deal of research, I ended up grabbing one of these, not really thinking I needed the version with the rotating chair (I didn't).Pros: Easy to put together, adjustable, and comes with a velcro seatbelt, in case you find it necessary.Cons: Even at the lowest height setting, with me being 5'10, my feet still dangle off the floor (albeit not by as much as my old bench did). The slide mechanism, while nice, is far less smooth than I'd have liked once your entire body weight is situated on the seat: this isn't really surprising given that the slide is simply a plastic tube around a metal tube (rather than metal bearings), but for those lacking in upper body strength, please be aware of this. I also do find that the bench creaks and groans in a rather discomforting way when I'm sliding along, most likely coming from the part of the bench where the handle is, which makes me feel that I'll have to do occasional inspections to ensure no stress cracks end up developing in the frame. (For reference, I'm a mere 120lbs).As for the lack of padding, I've simply resorted to cutting up an old padded yoga mat and layering it on top of the seat, which I find works well enough.

I ordered this because it seemed like a good way to get in and out of the tub after my upcoming surgery but as soon as I put it in place it was obvious that it won't work - there is not enough room to maneuver. The bathroom is just too small. I won't take off stars when the problem is with the house but I would suggest that if you're in a house that's older/smaller you might want to measure the bathroom before you order this. I will see if I can find other uses for it but if I can't I will return it and probably just get a small stool that can sit in the tub. I'm looking into that.

Excellent! Just what we needed to make mornings easier.

My 85 year old father moved in with us and we only have a tub with a shower. He can’t stand in a tub or sit in one due to his bad knees. This chair allows him to sit then slide into the tub area, then slide out when he’s finished. It sits up high enough that he can get up using his walker. It has a safety strap as well so he won’t slide off the seat. I’m so glad I found this for him.
