Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After reviewing several transfer benches we decided on this one. The cutout seat was one big deciding factor over the swivel type. When the time comes, that the cutout seat is needed, it will be much easier to clean the private areas. It was very easy to put together. I did it myself. Our bathroom is very small but it is light enough for me to lift it in and out of the tub. We do not use the back for now. My husband was used to a backless bath stool so the back is not needed, however, it may be needed at sometime in the future. We do not use the straps either. I really like that the seat locks in place after sliding it to either end. My husband is 93 and this bench has relieved a lot of my fears that he would fall getting in or out of the tub and I wouldn't be able to hold onto him. We have not had any problems with water on the floor from the shower curtain. I just tuck the shower curtain around the bench. We do use a hand held shower head so the water is not aiming directly at the shower curtain most of the time. And, I am the one holding the shower head and do most of the bathing of him. We have used the bench for about a month now and are very pleased with our purchase.
