text: I purchased this last year and it is out of warranty. The plastic connectors to the support (legs) broke away from the seat and the bench collapsed in my shower. I fell flat on the floor of the shower with the remains of the seat and legs under me. Fortunately I don't think I was hurt badly but I am elderly and it took nearly 40 minutes to get up. Plastic stress? I don't know but it was a frightening experience.
