This is a very good quality item. First of all, it is very easy to assemble. The instructions are easy to understand and it doesn't take long to assemble. The quality itself is also very good. I have seen some benches that curve upward slightly in the middle, which not only creates an uncomfortable seat, but also increases the likelihood of the user sliding to one side. To increase the level seating, it has armrests. And they are padded! This is great for those who need something to hold onto for extra security when sitting or standing up. It also has a full backrest. This chair has everything you need for a safe shower seat and more. The height can be easily adjusted, and it has rubber "feet" to minimize slipping on wet surfaces. The chair is easy to clean and very portable to get in and out of the shower. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who needs the assistance it provides.
