Medline Bariatric Bath Bench without Back Reviews
33 of 33 people found the following review helpful Although It Is Not Perfect, This Is the Best of the Lot., By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Medline Bariatric Bath Bench without Back (Health and Beauty) Here are the good things about this bath bench:1. It is light weight and will not rust because the sitting platform is durable plastic and the metal supports and legs are tubular aluminum. Almost all other competing models have painted steel tubing and are subjected to rust. 2. It can handle 550 lbs. of weight. As a result, it can serve almost 99.999% of the population. 3. The two aluminum cross-tubs prevent the legs from bending and causing the bench to collapse. As a safety precaution, all bath benches should have this feature, but they do not. 4. For bath benches that can handle 500 lbs. or more, this is the most inexpensive. I know because I checked out every competing model on the internet. In addition, look no further than the amazon.com website, the price is the cheapest in the U.S. 5. The design of the sitting platform, tubular supports, legs, and screw holes help water to completely drain away. As a consequence, there...

EXCEPT the description says it adjusts from 14.5" to 19.5" in height. For me, even the 19.5" height is almost too low. So I was VERY disappointed and upset when my new bath bench arrived and the tags say it adjusts from 14" to 17" high. If I manage to get all the way down to sit on this bench, I CANNOT get back up. So I have to return this and buy another bath bench. The price was great, I love the suction feet. But the description is WRONG. If the bench height is important, this is not the bath bench for you. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful Almost Killed Me, By Simon H. (Hammond, IN USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Medline Bariatric Bath Bench without Back (Health and Beauty) My tub has a slightly rounded floor, so the suction-cups wouldn't lay flat on, or stick to the bottom of the tub. One of my legs was amputated a few years back, so I need to get on the bench sideways in order to remove my prosthetic, and then swing my legs over the side of the tub to get in.Between the non-suction suction-cups, my above-average height (and therefore the adjustable height of the bench's legs) and the narrow ski-jump-shaped rounded seat, the bench threatened to tip over when I got in. I almost fell on a number of occasions in the tub during my bath, especially one time in particular when I dropped my bar of soap. For safety's sake, I had to hop to the other side of the tub (on my one leg) and sit on the adjacent toilet in order to safely get out. Measure your tub before ordering this bench, and make sure the floor of the tub doesn't curve AT ALL near the legs. Otherwise don't buy it unless you have NO TROUBLE getting in and out of the tub.
