Works well but make sure this is all you need
For several months this chair worked well for my husband who has PD. As a matter of fact a bath chair is an absolute must for the elderly and infirm.  Not a platitude.  Falls in the shower are responsible for too many deaths.<br />This a sturdy seat and we are pleased with it.<br />At the time I looked at transfer seats and thought they were more than we needed and too complicated but I'm sorry that we didn't purchase one instead of this seat. It was just a matter of months before my husband's condition escalated.  He's still safe getting into the tub with a bath support bar and the back of this seat but my back is killing me.<br />Consider the possibilities for the future and if the situation (for which you need a seat in the first place) is subject to escalating, look at transfer seats. Buying more than one bath seat is an unnecessary expense when you'll probably by buying several bathroom aids.<br />That said my husband was relieved when I put the seat in the tub/shower and has been enjoying the security it provides.  In the last few weeks since he has needed assistance, it has become apparent that I should have upgraded before making this purchase.
