What is the inside measurement of the clamping parts? I would like to know what size bathtub walls this will accommodate. Thank you

It didn't fit my mother's tub so I had to return it. Sorry, but did not take measurements. It was also a hassle to return item because I had thrown out the box it came in and the extra postage it costed. Amazon only reimbursed partial postage which was half the cost.

On the instruction sheet it says it fits tub walls 3 3/4" to 5 3/4" wide. This should be somewhere in the description or specs but it's not. It just says it fits most standard tub sizes which mine is not, unfortunately.

I believe it will work with your tub. Description says fits 3 to 5.25 inch tubs. My tub is 5 inches wide and it fits great. Very sturdy and doesn't move when using it. Very easy to install. I got it for my 85 year old Mom to hang on to while getting in and out of tub and it works great. Hope that helps.

Around 5 to 6 Inches from the edge of the bathtub inward, it depends what angle you want for the liner to fall into the bathtub itself, I installed the lower screw one inches above the top of the tiles and used a 72x84 liner so it fits perfectly , but my bathroom celling is 9 ft , so you may have to adjust.

The "U" shaped brackets were smaller than what I was trying to do... I wanted to mount it on my mountain bike. The "hose clamp" style worked great, and has a pretty long size range. Sorry I don't have an actual measurement.

From outside leg to outside leg it is 17 1/2 inches. The thing that may be a problem for you are the arms. They are 22 inches wide. If you have a lip on the inside of the tub it may still work. If you have a grab bar you may be able to do away with the inside arm.

Some answers state 1, 1 1/2-2 inches while 1 answer states it can actually accommodate 3 inches. Is there anyone who knows exactly the clamp width? I have a 2 inches thick headboard therefore 1 1/2 would not work but if it can really accommodate 3 inches then it would work for me! :-) Thanks!

Sorry don' t the size but I bought it for my bathtub and shower combo. I do believe regular size bath tub for 20 yr old home. It fit perfect.

When locked together the clamps is 4 inches long. I would assume 4 inches is the minimum this piece could clamp.

I haven't measured it; however, I have a very old standard bathtub and it is a little longer than the bottom of it. It likes about 4 inches being as wide.

The blocks underneath are not so much clamps as they are stops. There main purpose is to keep the shelf from move left to right by capturing the tub in between its jaws. When I set mine up its with a little bit of clearance so after I bolted the blocks in place I no longer have to adjust it. I just drop it on. Your issue with the curved walls, I not sure. The under blocks are 3/4" thick son as long as the curves are the same on both sides of the tub, and dont go past that 3/4" with curve you might be ok. Try it if it dont work send it back. Its a great item. ONe last thing the bolts that clamp the blocks to the plank were a bit long I cut them down to shorten them from sticking out. Regards,

Hi. I purchased this item some time ago (had to return it); although I thought we had a "standard" bathtub, the manufacturer told me the bathtub's configuration would not allow the bench to fit. I instead purchased a stool/seat which worked out perfectly. I would suggest looking at the tub stools/seats -- just make sure to measure the bottom width of your bathtub. Jo :)

I respectfully disagree with all of the previous responses. I had the same exact question/concern when I purchased this unit and I found that it works fine with only 1" of clearance between the edge of the tub and the wall. My response is based on an actual measurement and usage.

I have the old metal tub covered in porcelain and the clamp is very tight. I would not recommend tightening it on a fiberglass tub tight enough to be a good support. So, my answer is "no". The manufacturer might have another type of clamp that could be tightened.

Wendi, the wood is only 19" long, and the outside of my tub is 25" wide. The wall side only takes up about 2 1/2 inches and the open side will extend to make the total of 25". It would even work if it were about 21" in all - both side extend. Hope this works for you. I enjoy mine. I hesitated spending that much, but my husband thought it was a good idea for me as I love to read in the tub. Let me know how it works. Butterfly lady (Barb)

The rods are 1 in but slip into 1 1/4 rod and get bolted. There is padding in the corners that makes it 1 1/4 to 1 1/2. The whole thing sticks out 4 inches from side of tub if not using the undermount brackets. It works great and easy to unstall.

I just now measured the clamp for you and it can easily clamp 6" The opening was 6 3/8". Hope this helps. These are great clamps and I use them all the time.

I just measured the amount of space within the clamp. It's about 2 inches. I would recommend a keyboard with screws.
