The Medline bench with composite plastic seat and backrest has a lightweight, durable, rust-resistant anodized aluminum frame and back attachment reverses easily without tools to fit in any bathroom.
Seat height adjusts easily, in 1 1/2" increments, from 16 1/2" to 21 1/2" with suction cups on two legs (tub side) provide added safety and stability.
Tool-fee, push-button arm and back attachments. Assembly and installation is usually quick, and they're quite easy to use. For more info on transfer benches...visit http://showerchairsforelderly.net/shower-bench-advantages/
The main purpose is for you to easily maneuver into the bathtub. The technique of using the device is much like sitting on a park bench and sliding over when someone wants to sit down.
First, sit on the outside of the bench, then simply slide across the bathroom bench into shower position and once inside the bathtub, the bench doubles as your shower chair.
The rounded corners allows for more comfortable transfers from the bath space into the bathtub, from a wheelchair, or standing positions.
Many on the market today have sturdy, rustproof aluminium frames with wide foot grips to stabilize and secure the bench within the bathtub and bathroom.
The seat is made of easy to clean, durable plastic in an attractive white color, and units have a 300 lbs weight capacity. The wider seat offers easier transfers into and out of the tub.

Customer reviews to help you choose
I have had this shower bench for over 2 months now (I broke my leg in 4 places, so showering has been a challenge...) and I'm totally satisfied with it. It said in the product information that assembly was required, but the only thing I had to do was snap in the backrest. The legs are easily adjustable both for height, and to take care of any difference between the tub and floor level.
The adjustment increments are pretty close, so the chair is about as close to level as it could be. There is no evidence of corrosion anywhere, and I was a bit worried about that, as there is a mixture of steel and aluminum in the adjustment mechanism (push-in ball locks on springs). I weigh about 235 and it seems totally stable. I would not hesitate to recommend it at all, and the price was about 60% of what it would have been if I bought it locally. I also received it 3 days after I placed the order (shipped ground UPS), so I recommend the seller highly, as well.-------------------------------
Of course, I also recommend NOT breaking your leg........
I like to read the reviews before I buy something, so I don't regret spending my money in worthless items. I bought this bench for my dad, he's 65 and he have knee problems because of his arthritis. He's about to get knee replacement and this bench helps him a lot getting in and out of the tub. I would recommended for anybody and it's easy to install, fast delivery and good quality.
