Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this shower seat for my 67-year old mother to use after kidney surgery. The seat is easily put together, height adjustable and feels very stable. It fit a standard New York apartment bathtub perfectly with no problems. Mom particularly liked the fact that the seat is non-slip textured and slightly curved. The large rubber feet keep the seat steady and secure in the shower. She didn't end up needing the seat for very long, but I saved the box and I'm putting it in storage, since none of us are getting any younger and you never know when we may need it again. One last thing: I had debated whether or not to get a seat with a back, but after talking to a sales guy at the "you can do it, we can help" home improvement store, he recommended getting this one from Amazon instead of the one they carried at their store. He told me that the one with the back didn't work well for his elderly mother, because it made it difficult for her to reach her backside without having to inch forward in the chair, which could be dangerous. I asked my mom for her thoughts on this and she said she could see where having a back on the chair might get in the way. Just thought I'd share this bit of advice, as it was helpful to me.
