Carex Universal Bath Bench Reviews
(1) We bought this bath bench to replace the standard shower chair with a back and aluminum legs. This bath bench is SO MUCH BETTER – it is sturdier (and I’m a woman of ample size), easier to keep clean and because of the way the legs are constructed, no water can get inside them, so no kind of rusty/crusty-looking spots to worry about. Plus, the feet of this bath bench are much thicker and sturdier rubber than the conventional shower chair. That was why we had to toss our old one -one of the rubber feet wore through and we were afraid the bathtub would get scratched. Replacement feet were pretty expensive and in any case, as pleased as I am with this bath bench, it’s probably a good thing I didn’t spend $ on replacement parts for the old one. This bath bench is also a wonderful value and Amazon gave me free shipping (LOVE YOU AMAZON!!!) I’m very happy!
(2) A few years ago I bought one of these–the identical product–when I was post-op and wearing a huge cast on one leg for 6 months. It’s how I managed to shower every day, and it literally became something I was very grateful for. Now I’ve bought another, in another city, because I’m getting a bit ungainly, and again it’s a happy shower pal. The plastic is as sturdy as steel. It’s designed beautifully. The handles are just right. It’s so easy to put together and take apart. Really, this is a rave by someone who knows.
(3) I take a lot of medications that make me loss balance easily. I actually was getting scared to take a shower that I might fall. This bench is totally stable and never once have I feared it would not hold my weight, or tip from under me.
My only complaint is the black rubber feet transfer black on the inside of my tub, but it is easily cleaned.
(4) Easy to put together and very sturdy. It is however a bit on the large size. If this is going to be used only as a bath seat then no problem. It is a bit too large to be used as a shower bench or place or foot rest.
(5) I ordered this product for my elderly mother to be able to sit in her shower with a handheld showerhead and bathe in comfort & safety. It works VERY WELL! The chair is very sturdy (has large rubber tipped legs) & the seat is nice & large. The chair sits in a circa ’59 bathtub and it was only 19″ wide. I had to call cust. service @ Carex to get the leg width because the max. dimentions that were listed are deceiving.
(6) After realizing that my mother needed a bath bench for her tub, I set about looking at the ones available on Amazon. With so many styles to choose from it was hard to decide which one to get, but I finally settled on this one. I haven’t been disappointed in my purchase….my mother loves the bench. It’s easy to assemble, very sturdy, and fits in the tub without a problem. I purchased the bench without a back, but if she decides she needs the back it can be purchased separately. All in all, it’s a great bench.
