Customer Reviews of Duro-Med Shower Tub Stool
Customer Review: It allowed me to shower!
Summary: 5 Stars
After tibial plateau surgery I was unable to put any weight on my right leg for 3+ months, and wouldn't have been able to shower without this trusty little stool.
It takes 3 minutes to put it together, and is adjustable for height.
As long as it was placed correctly in the tub, it gripped the bottom and (very importantly) stayed in place as I maneuvered in and out of the tub.
A note from my trial and error - if you put it in the tub so that one leg is forward and one back (as opposed to square in the tub), it will rock back and forth - a little scary at first. I recommend you play with the placement before trusting all your weight to it.
Now that I'm back walking and standing in the shower, my wife actually still uses the stool as a make-up stool, due to it's small size (easily tucked away) and adjustability.
Customer Review: great stool but rusting feet
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this stool in May. I had a stress fracture in my leg and needed something to sit on in the shower. The stool was easy to assemble and quite sturdy. I loved this little stool and used it regularly even after my leg healed.
Today I noticed there were rust marks on the shower floor from the legs of the stool. I removed the rubber feet and discovered that the metal washers inside the feet were all rusted. A call to the company (customer service telephone number conveniently located on one of the legs) has resulted in a new stool being sent to me.
Before using the replacement stool I will have to look at the rubber feet and see if there is something that can be done to prevent the metal from rusting again.
If not for the rust I would give this little stool 5 stars.
Customer Review: Outstanding Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered one of these stools recently, and it is EXACTLY what I needed. My husband assembled it, and taking a tip from one of the other reviewers, used the automatic screwdriver function on his electric drill to make the screws nice and tight.
It is steady, steady, steady. I had realized I was getting faint standing in the shower, and that is not only unpleasant, but dangerous. Now I'm not getting faint any more. This is a wonderful tool.
It fits nicely in our small bathtub, and is easy to move around. After a shower I take it out of the tub to dry, and put it back in the next morning. It is not in the way in the middle of our small bathroom floor. It is just GREAT.
Customer Review: sturdy, small and easy-to-put-together shower stool
Summary: 5 Stars
I had previously ordered shower stools that were more bench-shaped. But the legs always ended up warping from weight (even though I'm just average sized) and the stools ultimately ended up sagging and becoming uneven. However, after a few months of using this shower stool, I am optimistic that that will not happen due to the better-shaped design. I also like the size much better anyway, since my shower stall is not big. The stool is big enough for me to sit on comfortably, but doesn't take up a lot of space. It was fairly easy to put together. It's sturdy and it hasn't rusted. I am very happy with it.Customer Review: Great fit for small spaces
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased this item for an elderly friend (approx. 185 lbs) who was having foot surgery. This sturdy stool fit perfectly in his narrow tub/shower. We added a clamp-on tub safety rail similar to this one: Deluxe Clamp On Tub Rail - Without Adjustable Hieght and he was able to shower without requiring assistance. Since he lives alone, being able to maintain his independence after surgery was a wonderful thing. He liked the stool so much, he continues to use it even though his foot healed long ago.
