Bathtub transfer bench
Has been great for safety reasons as needed for assistance getting over sides of the tub to get into and out of a tub; and available if needed to sit down briefly or otherwise. Easily slides to the side while showing while available as needed getting into and out of the tub. (Our rescued cats love sitting there while we shower and love napping there--we keep a towel on the bench and the shower curtain keeps water away from the bench used for assistance getting into and out of the tub. Best to measure before ordering to ensure adjustable transfer bench legs will fit appropriately and securely without "rocking" (inside the tub being shorter length than the 2 legs on the floor outside the tub).

Replacing a 9-year old unit (same brand/model); some weatherizing tips
Update #2 (11/27/20): Two things: 1) needed to cut down the chair 3-inches, so that when mom gets out on/off chair, she can touch the ground, and b) after only a few weeks, found some rust inside one of the inside legs. To reduce the height, I did two things: a) for the outside legs, I used the outer slider legs from the old chair, which were shorter by a couple inches, and for the inside legs, I cut 1-1/2 inches off the fixed leg, and another 1-1/2 inches off the adjustable leg. For the rust inside the leg, there is only one drain hole, so I added two more (every 120 degrees), by drilling a 1/8 inch hole near the end, and then using cutters to open to a U-shaped cut-out. Also raised the six-prong tubing nut inside the tube by driving it with a punch further up into the tube (away from the foot), so that it is higher up. I suspect water is entering from the adjustable button entry holes, so I will probably add a rubber tube (like a bicycle tube to waterproof that area as well. The ideal solution would be to prevent the water from reaching the steel six-prong nut, which you could do by plugging, and then having the drain above that point.Update (11/16/20): Some post installation notes: a) this chair is a couple inches taller than the 9-year old model. On the in-tub legs, I was able to drill one more hole to lower it another 1/2 inch. If you application needs to be lower, the next step would be to cut some length down off the inside legs (the outside legs have lots of adjustment left).Summary: This is for an elderly parent, it's replacing the same model, which has held up well, but there are some areas which corroded (expected), so I did some weatherizing steps to prolong the life of the replacement unit.Observations: The previous model chair worked exceptionally well. Very sturdy, in-tub suction rubber feet did not move. Overall very easy to install, adjust and maintain.Recommendations: As you can see from the attached pictures, the common failure areas are the steel fasteners, and those will rust if water gets in. So I did two mitigations: 1) I applied white silicone sealant to the fastener head, or tube opening, and 2) I added O-rings to slow down water intrusion. I happened to have a metric O-ring set, so the sizes are metric, but you get the idea. There are a total twelve (12) joints that can be sealed with an O-ring. The first four are the two for the chair back, and the other two for the side handle. Used a 25mm O-ring for these. Next four are the UPPER leg joint, right above the highest plastic cap, same 25mm O-ring. Last four are above the lower leg, which is adjustable for height, those are a slightly larger 28mm O-ring.Pros: Good fit & finish; sturdy.Cons: None.Conclusion: At $62, rating this one 5-stars, based on prove performance (same brand, similar model).

Great shower bench
Very sturdy. Nice size works great but you need a big space because it is long but my step dad was a big guy. You just sit on it and spin around into the bathtub m. Works perfectly. It was exactly what we needed for him to get in the shower because he couldn’t step up over the side of the tub. I would definitely recommend this to anyone needing a shower bench. It’s great quality and made very sturdy. He was over 250 pounds and held him just fine

Well made transfer bench
I had foot surgery and needed a sturdy, safe and easy to assemble shower chair. After much research I chose the Medline Transfer Bench and I was so glad I did! Much safer than just a shower chair. I am 56 years old, 5’4” and weigh 185. I live in an apartment with a full size tub/shower with a plastic shower curtain. The bench was larger than I expected (I’m not good visualizing measurements on paper) fit perfectly over the tub rim. Assembly was a piece of cake! No tools! I like the slightly textured seat with large drain holes. Still slippery when soap & water get on the seat so I sat on a washcloth. I’m 5’4” and my feet barely touched the bottom of the tub. I would have felt more secure if the legs adjusted down further. It’s definitely built for taller people. The legs outside of the tub did not have suction cups, just rubber feet and they were a bit wobbly. Totally satisfied with this purchase. Great quality, easy snap together assembly, lightweight without being cheap. I’m glad I put the back on the bench which made it feel like a chair once seated. Highly recommend for people getting hip or knee surgery if you have a tub. So easy to transfer from a knee scooter or wheelchair to the bench and just swing your feet over the edge of the tub. I chose to cut the shower curtain so I could pull it over the top of the chair (it will fit in the groove of the 3 section seat if you cut it correctly) this way minimal water gets on the bathroom floor. I also would recommend that people purchase a rubber backed bath mat so wet feet don’t slide on bare floor when transferring out of the tub.

Useful after surgery
This was used by other family members after back and knee surgery. Safer than a single seat in tub.
