Can water from the shower eventually seep into the chair? I have one (different style &amp; manufacturer) that water has gotten into.

Sorry about your chair - no no no - so far no water getting to the chair and I use it every day since I got it - believe it has been about 3 months now. The suction cups do not suck (could be the tiles in my shower floor) LOL but it is very stable and it does not move around while you are sitting on it and it was easy to put together (I am 80 yrs female and I did it) - I feel very secure using it. Hope this helps.

I'm certainly no expert, but yes you are correct, it does not suction. This is a heavy duty seat and by virtue of its weight alone (plus the users body weight) I find that it keeps the chair securely in place. Particularly when the tub is dry, before you begin your shower it wont move any more than a patio chair would move when sitting on it. If you have enough mobility to sit on a patio or dining chair unaided then you can confidently sit in this chair. The rounded feet helps it glide if you choose to push it back or forwards (much as gliders on a walker would assist with movement but it would only move if you propelled it to move by pushing it) Side to side the width of the tub, it's not going to move a fraction since with a standard sized tub there is no room for it to move. Length wise, it will move, but only if you are pushing it either with your hands or pushing with your feet when seated. I think its a quality item, but whether it works for you depends on your personal needs and how mobile the user is.

I had the same ? I saw a special shower curtain on amazon that has a section that tucks into the chair. Also I read some folks using two curtains like on a window pulling one behind the chair and tucking around the side and folding on bench while the curtain on the other side pulled to within that curtain and folded up on the inside of the other curain from the back on the chair also . Some stated they tuck the curtain under their leg. I don't know how it would work if someone has to help. A hand held shower head is a must . Many happy bubbles!!

Yes, we use the chair as both a commode and shower chair. It is difficult to push the chair into the shower with someone sitting in it as the frame is not real strong. We do it, but we pull and push from the back, not the sides. The chair is covered with a vinyl type material which is definitely waterproof. The wheels are fairly small and the brake does not really keep the chair from moving. We put it against the wall when transferring my son into it so that it does not move out from under him.

Hmmm, honestly I usually use it to put my foot on to help shave my legs. I don't think it would be easy to slip out of it though because it is concave - so much so that it pools water. We just pour the water off once the shower is done, but it collects quite a bit of water, so it's got quite a dip in it. Sorry I can't say more about this definitively though.

I used the chair in the shower. It had been yossrd in the trash. My shower was large enough to accommodate but the workmanship of the chair was not well made.

Yes, it will go through the opening and into the space. However, I doubt it will work should you have bi-fold doors. My 30-inch stall shower has a single glass door and the chair is approx. 22x21. The only problem is, once inside, there is very little room to maneuver. It will work much better in a double-size shower or perhaps in a tub/shower combination. Although it's a very nice product, I would not buy again for a 30-inch shower.

No, some water will go through the product, but it keeps a large amount of water out. It's good, but not perfect.

hi josh what I mean when you get into the tub do you have to pull a lever to have the water come to your shower head if so make sure that valve is back to tub after the pick will drip for a moment and then stop I hope this will help I have never had a problem and anytime I move I get a new one great day

I still have mine.. It stays in the shower. I do not use it on a regular basis because it didn't work that well for me so I'm not sure!

I haven't noticed any particular leakage beyond what chair saws usually look like. Maybe there is a small crck in the cap. If you think it's excessive, try putting washer/gasket on it.

I was wrong! I'm sorry. I checked again after seeing the other responses. Yes, the shower head does indeed move. The first time I checked, I guess I didn't move it hard enough. I normally leave the head where it is and don't move it.

This is my second shower bench chair in well over 10 years. I keep the handrail against shower wall. I would not use the chair without the handrail because I feel it is a safety factor, in case I need a hand hold. There plenty room for in the shower chair in the bath tub. Remember if you need the chair you need the handrail, no doubt in my mind. I hope this helps.

Yes, it does and it has been the perfect place for me to keep the chair when not using in the shower.

My father has the same issue and he enjoys his shower chair. Sits low and seat it pretty wide to assist with comfort and balance. In my opinion it will do just fine. Hope you find it to be the same.

My shower is more than 2 ft. The chair fit but I had trouble getting in and out of the shower I could not use the chair. It has been taken away.

I don't really know, but a coworker of mine had that problem. He thinks it was because after his shower he would shake it from an end to get water drops off. I haven't had any problem with mine and I have worn it pretty much constantly for 8 months now.
