Perfect, but assembly a bit difficult in spots depending on your disability!
It fit perfectly in my shower/bathtub combo, which was a relief. Very high quality, feels a lot more comfortable than I had expected. Unlike some other options, it doesn't seem to suction down onto the tub floor, but it is very stable as long as you don't lean back too much. It looks great, but assembly might be a bit difficult. For the most part it was easy, but assembling the backrest, attaching the backrest to the base, and attaching the shower head holder was really difficult for me. I succeeded on my own in the end, but depending on your disability you may need help in assembling those parts. Once assembled, it works perfectly, swivels nice and easily and automatically locks into place at 90 degree intervals, fits nicely in place, and feels very solid while in use. 10/10 recommend, but be mindful of the potential need for assistance in assembly!

Easy to build! Easy to use!
I am so glad I got this chair! We bought it for my grandma that can no longer move that much. We used it for the first time and it was comfortable for her and for us to maneuver her around while we showered her. Great product and we hope it lasts us a long time.

I bought this item for ny 95-year-old Papi I am very pleased with how safe and easy to use this item is. It has a non-slip seat cover, a belt for safety, and even comes with a holder for the shower handle. I am pleased with this item and highly recommend it for the elderly or anyone who is unable to stand for long periods.

Slight manufacturing defect on one leg
One of the four legs doesn't fit/assemble as it should, so the whole thing needs to be packed back up and shipped back. This is a real pain.

Shower swivel chair
Loved the idea of the swivel chair . Built good. Easy to assemble. Good price for the money nice back and side arms that lift up and back out of the way. Need to measure your tub hight and width if any handles low the back of chair might hit the bar and not swivel.

Great for hip replacement, OK for antique plumbing - not without flaws, though
I got this transfer bench because of a hip replacement in my family. After searching around, I came to the conclusion that this one was pretty much the only game in town, but it's not without some problems.As you may know, after getting a hip replacement, a patient will initially have difficulty in standing, and is instructed for an extended period not to bend the hip joint more than 90 degrees. This is not a big problem if you have a walk-in shower, but if, as is the case in my home, you have only claw-foot bath tubs, it's very difficult to climb into such a tub without excessive flexure, and that's even assuming you're likely to be stable standing up in the tub. So, it seemed advisable to get a transfer bench. All told this product worked well for us, I didn't regret getting it, and couldn't find a better option on Amazon.Pros:* The price is right, indeed, it's ridiculously cheap for what you get, especially when you consider the fact that the medical bill for a hip replacement can easily weigh in at over $100k - good job we didn't have to pay full freight on that!* It was relatively easy to assemble, though see the cons below.* It fully met our needs.* The legs have much better adjustability than I would have expected.* The bearings supporting the traverse of the seat worked very well.* It definitely worked just fine for a load of 150lbs.* It's light enough that it was easy to lift the whole bench in and out of the bath when necessary.* After the need for it went away, I was able to disassemble it and put it back in its original box (pretty much) for storage. Perhaps I'll need it again some day.Cons:* Imperfect manufacture/quality control: In my case, there were a number of manufacture flaws in the bench:a) When the leg mounts were welded up during manufacture, they are clearly not perfectly aligned. This meant that I had to force the leg mountings into the transfer seat runner tubes and distort them a bit in order to get them in place. This wasn't a big issue for me, but might have been a problem for someone smaller or lighter than I. This hints at sub-par quality control.b) One of the holes for the screws used to secure the leg mounts into the transfer runner tubes was not tapped properly. Again, not a big problem, and I lived with one of the screws not going all the way in. Had I forced it to try to get the screw fully located, I expect that the hex socket in the screw's cap head would have rounded out, thereby making it effectively impossible to dismantle without drilling out the screw.c) The latch on the rotational axis of the seat is clearly intended to snap into place on its spring when you rotate into the bath. However, in my case it was so stiff that I had to hit it pretty hard to get it to lock the seat's rotation. Odds are, it could be disassembled and reamed out a bit to make it work properly. I was more concerned with looking after the patient, though.d) The bearing for the seat's rotation was so poor that it felt as it it were filled with sand. This made it somewhat difficult to rotate, and hard to align accurately so as to get the rotation latch to snap into place (see above).* The whole bench was only just tall enough to make it over the edge of my smallest claw-foot tub. Indeed, with the outside-the-bath legs fully-extended, it was not possible to set the inside legs low enough to avoid fouling the rim of the bath and have the seat be level. So, one had to push the bench a bit uphill in order to get into the bath.* The claimed ability to support a load of 400lbs seemed optimistic, given the degree of bending at 150lbs, and I'm confident that it wouldn't have worked with such a load with my particular bath. Perhaps it would have been OK on a less challenging bath.* The seat latches into its fully-in and fully-out of the path positions. It turns out that the full extent of the travel is not actually all the way along the transfer tubes, and when you take the size of the seat into account, and the curvature of the side of the bath, at its fully in-the-path position it still ends up protruding over the edge of the bath. This would presumably be less of a problem with a wider bath, but it made bathing a little awkward / off-centre. It also made it more important to get the shower curtain tucked in fully between the cross tubes so as to avoid water getting everywhere (see below concerning the curtain).A few extra tips:* I found that the outside-the-bath legs tended to slip a bit if they rested on the bath mat. Given that stability is very important, I would advise against setting it down on top of your bath mat.* I ended up cutting a couple of slits in the shower curtain and strengthening the top of the slits with vinyl tape. Without doing this there was no good way to tuck the shower curtain into the tub and avoid water going everywhere.* Given the slope of the bath, I made the inside leg of the bench at the tap end of the bath one notch longer than the other inside leg. This worked out well.The bottom line is that I really didn't find any other offering that was remotely close to this one, so I'm pleased with the overall experience. I should stress that my need for it was short-term, and during the early stages of convalescence. I suspect that if you've got some more chronic condition which necessitates a transfer bench, then you'll probably find dealing with a claw-foot tub to be too much of a pain. In this case, if you can get away with it, I would recommend getting the rotating seat for a walk-in shower instead.
