Eagle Health Supplies Sliding Shower Chair Tub Transfer Bench with Swivel Seat, FSA/HSA Eligible, Height Adjustable Shower Benches for Inside Shower, Shower Seat for Elderly and Disabled, 77662

so the actual bench/chair gets Five Stars, but the directions for putting it together gets zero stars. The assembly instructions I got didn't bother to tell you which sliding bar went where and they ARE different! It took me forever to put this thing together and I have put together EVERYTHING from electric cars, bikes, toys, furniture, etc... and none of them had assembly instructions so poorly written. This should have been a 20-30 minute assembly that took me hours to do. Very, very irritating.Just so you know, if you buy this bench, the sliding bar that has the TWO locking nubs on each end is the one that goes toward the FRONT OF THE CHAIR. The assembly instructions mention absolutely NOTHING about those two bars and the pictures are USELESS - you can't see any details at all.On to the bench itself. It's extremely sturdy. It's easy to operate. It sits about 4 inches above the tub which is good! It makes it much easier for an elderly person to stand up - unless they're very tiny and short.. The operation is smooth. The seat glides effortlessly. The pivot works great. It fit in our tub perfectly.I don't plan on ever removing this until it's not ever needed because it's large and bulky and would be very hard to store. It would need to be partially disassembled for storing under a bed or in a LARGE closet or attic.All in all, this is a fine bath chair when you have limited space. It's exactly what we needed and will fill the present need. Just be prepared for the non-instruction instructions. They're pretty much useless.

My wife is bedridden. I have to use a lift to get her out of bed on onto the seat. Once she is on the lift and belted in, I rotate the seat 90 degrees so she will be facing the wall of the shower with the shower head. Then I release the seat and slide her across to the other side where she is under the shower head. Why five stars when it is "almost" perfect? The way it would be perfect for us is if it were 54 or even 60 inches. In order to put her on the seat, the side outside the shower must be further out that an able bodied person would need. Thus she is sort of off to the side of the shower head. Assembly was easy. Good materials, Packaged well. Would definitely buy again if needed. I have and continue to tell others this is a GREAT product.

This is an exceptionally well-made assistive device -- perfect for my current situation with a broken right leg -- and well worth the money spent. There are only 8 parts to assemble without any tools whatsoever, and lying in bed, I was able to put it together in just over 5 minutes. It took my wife about the same amount of time to take it to the bathroom and mount it on the tub. The clamp mechanism securely fastens the bench to the tub.I weigh about 270 pounds, and the only challenge this presents is that when tranferring from the inside position to the outside position, the seat contacts the clamp, and I have to sort of raise up off the seat and pull the seat forward to get it to lock into position. Without locking, it's a bit unsafe because the seat slides effortlessly along the rails, and standing without being locked causes the seat to slide back into the tub. Other than that I have no real complaints.The seat is wide enough to fit me, which makes it very comforable (I don't need the seat belt, so I removed it) -- the seat back does not have holes as shown in the photo. After using it three or four times now, however, I would strongly recommend ordering one or two of the arm rests for this chair (mine will be coming in several more days). There is a certain amount of security that is provided by being able to push up to a standing position (I am on strict orders for "no weight bearing" on my right leg for at least 4-5 more weeks -- it is exactly four weeks since my accident and surgery on Feb 1/3 2017).The original shipment from Amazon was the wrong item (mismarked box was actually 77662 -- no clamp). The manufacturer happens to be only 20 minutes from my home, and after a little negotiation, they exchanged it for the right bench. Amazon customer support was not helpful at all in this regard -- recommending that I reorder and return the one I received for a refund, which might not have solved the problem of receiving another mismarked box.FYI -- the manufacturer recommends lubricating the sliding raills with WD-40 to maintain the ease of transfer.(March 4) ** After using the bench several days, I discovered the accessory arm rests (#75003) as a separate item. Although my tub has a hand rail installed, it is of little value when attempting to get into or out of the chair, because it is not adjacent to where the seat is. I ordered a pair and will install them today. This should increase the ease of getting into and out of the chair from/to my walker -- having something to grab/push up on. The manufacturer suggests using only one on the side opposite where the leg brace is, and I'll update this with my experience in the next day or two.(March 4) UPDATE on the arm rests: they are very heavy duty, easily installed with two stainless steel carriage bolts and large knobs with brass threaded inserts. I was able to do this while seated in my wheelchair. [BTW, mine arrived in just one day, drop-shipped from the manufacturer to me, instead of from the seller in Florida]There is absolutely **no reason** why both arm rests cannot be installed (no need to grab the leg bracket to slide the seat to the inside position). There is ample clearance between the arm rest and the leg bracket, allowing the seat to rotated 360 degrees in all positions. Only if a person's body is wider than the seat might the addition of both arm rests be problematic. I'm a "wide body" at 270 lbs. and I was not hampered in any way -- the opening between both arm rests when installed is almost a couple of inches wider than the seat itself. Next time I shower, I'll take my camera and shoot a couple of photos. IMHO, at least one arm rest should be included as a standard item. Made it a whole lot easier for me to sit and stand between the bench and my walker by providing something to grab onto while descending and to push up on when rising, and also helped a lot with the slight lift needed to lock the seat in the outside position as noted above.

It worked well after it was installed. I would have given it 5 stars but even though I measured my tub it didn’t quite fit. I had to add a piece of wood to the outside of the tub and buy a longer screw to install it. Then it worked. Using this was safer than having my 90 year old mother stepping into a bathtub. She just sat on the chair and then we helped her turn the chair while lifting her legs into the tub. Then she would grab the rail and pull the seat across.

Worked perfectly for my Mom, it is helping her get in and out of the tub shower by herself.
