SP Ableware727152100 Rotating Shower Stool, Adjustable Legs

My mother has a stall a shower. This one fit in perfectly with place to sit and room to stand beside it. It’s sturdy and comfortable.

Very comfy, very secure but doesn’t spin easily depending on your tub width. Measure your tub and make sure to add how much your knees poke out in front if that makes sense. Mine just barely makes it with a small amount of gymnastics. Forgot about my knees—hence the caveat above.

I had bought a three legged shower stool and it was hard to keep from falling over. So I got this one and it is perfect very sturdy and I love it would buy again if I had another shower to put one in.

Product seems very sturdy and strongly built but has issues.Be sure your tub has at least 15 inches of flat surface to insure a secure footing in the tub without rocking.The legs rotate so that two pegs in each leg move into slots with slightly angled insertions so they don't rotate out while sitting.I found that the legs were stiff and difficult to rotate in and out of the adjusting position, but this is only done once until you know the right height and then you shouldn't need to adjust it again unless they twist out of their position and the legs move.I lifted the stool out of the tub by one of the legs and found that it rotated out of position and lengthened the leg so that I had to re-set the height for that leg. You wouldn't want to find that this rotation occurred and the pegs were not securely positioned when you didn't notice, and have the leg unexpectedly shorten itself when you sat on the stool and you weren't prepared. The leg adjustment mechanism isn't quite as secure as aluminum legs that have a button that inserts into a hole. If the leg pegs are positioned right it would be very stable. But the legs are very strong when everything is in place.Therefore, for this reason, I recommend that the chair be kept at the lowest position so it can't suddenly drop when one leg drops a length accidentally when you sit on it.The suction cups help prevent skidding only as rubber tips. They didn't really grab the tub like suction cups. (Actually I prefer that so I can move the stool in the tub easier.)The blue rotating top does not fasten permanently to the top of the stool. You place a wide Teflon disc on the top of the chair and lower the blue top of the chair on the Teflon disc to facilitate rotation. There is post under the blue top that fits into a hole on the top of the chair. But it doesn't fasten permanently. Just holds by gravity.It can be lifted off. I found that when I tried to pick up the chair the top can lift off and leave the stool behind. Or if you turn the stool over the drain water from the legs, the top falls off. Not hard to replace, but a nuisance.But my main disappointment with the stool is that it is a major "Pinch Master" torture device.Under the top of the seat are multiple, multi-directional struts, re-enforcing ridges to keep the seat strong. It does that well. The seat appears to be very strong.However, I found, that if you grasp the chair, reaching underneath the seat to lift it, I could easily pinch my fingers in the crevices formed by the re-enforcing struts.I did so many times and hollered "Ouch", and other things, more than I can count. You have to be very careful lifting the chair to avoid pinching. Say try to keep fingers out from the underside of the seat.So lifting by the legs can cause the leg height to change and lifting by the seat risks "Pinching". ("Ouch", and other things.)With the rotating top, the pinching risk is increased because as you grasp and lift the stool, if your fingers are wrapped under the seat, the lid rotates if you aren't careful helping force your little fingers into a "pinch place".In a tub, the rotating lid isn't helpful as there isn't enough space in a tub for your legs to swing around past the sides of the tub anyway. In a shower it may be a nice feature.So I removed the top and tossed it out.Then I noticed that the top, without the rotating lid, was smooth and very slippery especially when soap gets onto it. So you are now trying not to slide off the seat.I added some of those non-slip shower strips, usually used on a tub floor to keep you from slipping, onto the smooth seat top and that should do the trick for slippery top.I'll keep at it, trying to avoid "Pinching" and will eventually get used to it.But for the priceyness of the stool, it has been a pain in the rear to get adjusted to it.I think something cheaper can do just as well.I wouldn't buy it again but will try to make it work now that I have it.Steve

After much searching and trying of others, calling vendors, reading websites, corresponding with this manufacturer before ordering:YES! It fits our dinky tub. It might fit our dinky shower in a pinch.Measurements: Seat: 16" diameter. Legs: between is 13 1/4". Across, diameter is 18". So in narrow tub just set it the 13" way.Because it fits well and is pretty heavy for plastic , it is stable.Swivel feature - don't know if really necessary or a good idea for all, but went for it. In a small tub you won't be doing 360's in it. but turning a bit to get something will save back strain.Swivel feature can be removed by taking off the blue seat. Underneath is a regular stool.VERY easy to adjust legs.Assembly super easy EXCEPT YOU NEED A LOT OF STRENGTH. I had to call in the big guns to set the legs in. I'm not going to take off a star. Most people know SOMEONE who could do it as a favor, I hope.I actually really like it.Note: I also tried the Invacare Care Guard Tool-Less Shower Chair with Back from Amazon. (Suppliers and prices vary. This one was shipped by Amazon so free shipping.) My tub is just a hair over 17" wide at bottom but that chair was only stable in the middle of my small tub. Just did not work. See my review for more details.Another item of interest to those new to this need for sitting in a shower-equipped tub might be the Carex White Bathtub Rail. Read my review of it for details.**UPDATE AUGUST 10, 2013. *** It's still going strong. I don't "need" it but I definitely like it.>>>It does leave rusty marks on the bottom of my fiberglass tub, They don't entirely come off. If I were a better housekeeper they might.>>>When my back is killing me, it is useful to have a place to sit while looking for something or fixing something below waist level. A relief on a small painting project I did. DO NOT USE AS STEP STOOL, O K? >>> I just ordered another one for a house in another state where I will be re-habbing after my next knee surgery, next month. So there is an endorsement.

Went together easily. I bought, from Amazon, some pretty "pebble" tub decals. Those came 10 circles to the pack. I put one in the center of the blue seat. Used 4 more to touch the center full circle. I pressed them up to the center circle, design facing down, and used the pressing tool that came with the decals to press tightly against the edge of the center circle. Carefully cut and butted to the center circle, then pressed it to the seat. I made sure to fix design alignment first. Used one more, simply cut into 4 pie shaped wedges, and, applied those to the 4 open spaces on the seat, that were not already covered by the decals. It looks very pretty, and, has eliminated any chance of having a slippery seat when wet. I have a VERY small corner shower, angled, with 2 small glass sides and the glass door in the middle. This seat fits perfectly inside, with one foot the "corner". Plenty of room to step in and sit. I am 4'9", so, left the legs at their lowest setting. I can sit with feet flat on the floor. Perfect.

The swivel actually works. Stool is sturdy yet not bulky and easy to assemble.

I'm a above knee amputee and I'm 250 lbs and have been using this stool in the shower for a couple of months with no problems. It is a little shakey at 1st, but it is sturdy, And I use it all the time.
