How high does it extend from the tub into the air? I'm reading that some are better for exiting from a shower than a seated bath?

I misread your question. It extends upward 16". From a sitting position one could grab the lower bar if more comfortable. She stands in the bathtub & showers & uses it to step in & out.

It runs vertical, up. I had a different one for my Dad and find this much better. It can be used with either hand or both. It does not slant toward any one direction. Hope this helps!

This one extends the full 16 inches up vertically, from the edge of my tub and I found it helps better than a shorter version that I was using. But I am only 5 foot 3 inches tall.

What's best cue sustain yourself when getting out of the tub or shower I do not believe it clamptite enough to the tub size can pull yourself up with

Lots of adjustment for the height, it will not take up any floorspace in the bathroom since the legs fit close to the side of the tub. Our tub is approximately the same height and it fits fine and has enough adjustment to make it tall enough for you to easily transfer into the tub. It is solid, comfortable and has been approved by both of my physical and occupational therapists. One added note: this price is about 40% less than any retail stores in my city.

It doesn't have anything to do with a tub. It is a shower seat. . My wife uses it and she loves it. She had a rectangular shower stool, and she likes this one much better. It swivels very nicely, so she can turn and have the shower on what ever part of the body she wants it on.

I agree with the others. It is very easy to move around as it does not include any suction cups or anything else to adhere to the tub. It expands and closes similar to an accordion to fit your tub. I usually extend it so that it doesn't move around too much when the kids are bathing so it stays in position for the most part and when I shower I usually shorten it and just move it to the front of the tub (inside) so that the water that has not dried does not get onto the floor. It was irritating at first, something that I had not considered before but worth it to not step on random objects and toys once I got into the shower and we didn't want to crowd our shower walls with the hanging basket type...

We have our shower caddy in a shower stall. I am not sure if I understand the question. Can you describe where the shower caddy will go and how high your ceiling is.

I just loaned my bench on Dec 31. It fits across the standard bath tub; I agree with previous answer--I would only use it with the hand rail.Two legs go into the tub; two legs stay on the floor just outside the tub. I recall that we elevated one side a small amount to accommodate getting into and out of the tub on the bench.

This shower chair is designed to extend outside the tube over top the side. There is no way to close a shower door if this is installed. If you want to close a shower door, you may want to look at the smaller one with the transfer bench.

tHIS ONE IS designed for a walk-in shower. THEY MAKE ONE FOR A TUB INSTALL, IT HAS LESS HEIGHT IN THE DEMENSIONS.

The grab bar extends 14 inches above the tub. My wife finds it very helpful. Very importantly, the grab bar has not slip since it was last moved month ago despite daily pressure from a 250+ person.

The box it came it lists it as : 29.125"H x 22.25"W x 17.75"D with a height adjustment of 16.25" to 21.25". It also states that it can handle up to 300 lbs. The seat is the widest part. We have a shower enclosure that measure about 26 inches from wall to shower door. The tub is barely 17" at the bottom, where the chair legs go, and flares out to 22" at the rim of tub. The legs fit flat in my tub with no problem. I have the chair raised up as high as it will go and it clears the top of the tub. It s a little tight because the shower is so small but no problems to report. Hope this helps.

I'm guessing your shower supply pipe must be a little higher than most. I installed two of these and the main shower head and the wand are 74 inches from the bottom of the tub. It works fine for my wife who is 5'6." It is a great shower head so I'd still consider it, even if you need to add a bath-friendly stem of some kind.

You will find it to be plenty long - it is about 3-4 feet long. It won't hit the tub bottom if it dangles from my shower head, which is at about 6-6.5 feet high. I have this and the on-the-counter one. This one's battery life doesn't last as long as I would like / hope, and the 2 settings are not terribly strong.

Don't understand what you mean by "height" from where. Bottom of tub or shower?

I only use it to get in and out of the tub. I only take showers so I don't know your particular problem. It does tighten on the tub securely so I'm sure you wouldn't pull it off. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have never tried it in the shower. You would have to measure the available floor space in the shower. I also wonder if the arm support would inhibit getting onto the seat if you did not have direct front access from a wheelchair. My only criticism during use as a commode is that I wish the feet were spread apart just a bit more. It is too easy to tip sideways if you use too much pressure on one arm over the other while getting seated. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thanks to both of you. I measured to where the overflow is on my current tub (it opens on the bottom) and it is only 14 inches. (I bought one of those rubber "caps" to get a couple more inches. But I sat in the tub and measured and want at least 19 inches. (i hate the water hitting at my waist - and if i slide down my hair gets wet and my feet are then out. So really appreciate the info. So many of the deep tubs cost ridiculous amounts of money.
