I have 2 bone on bone knees, waiting for surgery. I love this shower chair. I turn my chair facing out to get on chair. Then turn to face faucet on tub. Chair locks in place easily. I unlatch the chair to slide over into the tub. It’s easier to lift my legs from a sitting position. I placed 2 grab bars on the tile inside tub walls. I can pull bringing the chair to the end of the shower frame. It’s very smooth sliding. I’m able to tuck my shower curtain behind the chair. No water on floor. I have a handheld wand that shower myself with. I’m able to easily stand up in tub using the soft cushioned arm bars on both sides of the seat. This product is very strong built and steady. I have a high tub, this fits up over the top. Because I’m short I use a small stool to get into the chair. I can reach the floor without it, I just feel safer with a stool. I’m 5’2”. Be sure you measure how much room you have for this. I had a clearance of 38” from sink counter to a wall. I angled my chair a little so it’s easy to lift my legs up over tub. I love this shower chair! Much easier to use than a wide transfer chair. I am not able to stand and scoot across a chair.
