Get in and out of the bathtub easier
If you or your loved ones are apprehensive about getting into the tub, the BathLyft may be your solution. The BathLyft is a battery-operated bath chair that lowers and lifts the user in and out of the bathtub, reducing the strain on the user and preventing the risk of falls.
Let customers speak for us
from 1297 reviewsI use showerbuddy for many years in my assisted living communities and I find it very useful mainly due to its durability, safety and ease of use. I have been a customer for over 7 years and we use it in all my facilities where the wear and tear is heavy and showerbuddy seemed to withstand all the heavy use. Highly recommend and as we grow, we use only this company and product line.
Best value for a tilting shower chair. Well built and good casters!
This product was ordered for my paraplegic son and it has been great!
Teak or bamboo? Seriously, how many times have you ventured down that worn, unsightly path? This will be the last stool you'll ever need. The robust, sleek material repels water and soap effortlessly. It exudes beauty, style, and elegance. Simply outstanding.
This stool may be expensive (our insurance paid for it), but it's beautiful. We bought it for its minimalist, graceful design. It's heavy, too, so it will certainly never tip over.
Oh, my goodness. I don't know if I've ever seen a shower chair quite so beautiful. This chair upgrades our normal bathroom, and when we switch it over and have a nice tile bathroom, it will make that look even better, too!
We have purchased two of these, one for our home, and one as a gift for family. We were looking for a shower stool that was sturdy and functional without looking like something from a hospital. This stool is beautiful and is very well made of cast resin and comes in a variety of colors. It is stable and heavy enough not to tip, but still easy to move for cleaning or to move it in or out of the shower. There are rubber tabs on the legs which make it both stable and protect the shower floor. The contractor who did or bath conversion was extremely impressed with the stool and commented it is a way better option than one he would have built into the wall. This stool is easily removed to facilitate cleaning. It looks good enough to double as a vanity seat outside the shower. Our 30 something daughter recently had an injury requiring a shower seat, and she loves this as it doesn't make her feel like an old lady in a nursing home. The customer service department at Solution Based was very helpful with a shipping issue. The phone was answered promptly by an associate working on sight in the U.S. The agent was understandable, and knowledgable about the product and the order. I had made a mistake in the delivery address and they were able to quickly correct my mistake. You will not be disappointed with this product.
beautiful design, really striking, extremely sturdy
I just received this shower chair today. It's replacing a teak chair that had rotted. The seat is not as big as my teak chair (it is more narrow) but I actually think it fits nicer in my shower. It's cold to sit on. For some reason, I thought it would be plastic resin but it feels like a really heavy composite or even concrete. I like the plastic disks on the legs to prevent scratches and it comes with a couple extra (you wouldn't want to drag this thing across your tile). I'm giving it 5 stars for its clean, modern look and heavy weight. I got the concrete grey color.
This little bench is stable, sturdy, and looks great. It is actually quite heavy. I was concerned that it might tip if you propped your leg on it, but it is far too heavy to do that. The size is perfect for my space. I thought it was pricy, but now that I have it, I have no objections.
I was remodeling my bathroom and needed a shower bench. Took me quite a while to find the bench, but this ended up being the one. It seemed to be a little high on the cost end, but it is a perfect fit. It is very sturdy, and I like the fact that it can be removed and used elsewhere if necessary as compared to a fixed bench which would also be bulkier.
This bench is absolutely gorgeous. Very heavy and well made. Just adds a special touch to our newly tiled shower.
I purchased this chair while my husband was still hospitalized for a very unexpected but extensive back surgery. The severity left him unable to stand and I needed a chair that was not only comfortable for him but easy for me to maneuver.
Being a nurse, I knew what I was looking for and the only chair that came close was this one.
The only thing I would caution about is to be certain that the brakes are engaged and the front casters are locked when the occupant is getting in/out of this chair. That probably goes without saying but with only the brakes engaged (like wheelchair brakes) there is slight movement because of the casters. I tested this out before he came home so I would be familiar with the product.
We did take down one side of our glass shower door (and put up a curtain) to make it easier to get in /out of the shower. I need to back it in and that is a bit tricky since the casters are on the front - I have to pull a bit to the side to get it positioned properly but it isn't overly strenuous (I am 66 and have no problem doing this).
This will likely be along term product in our house and I expect it to last for a long time. The quality is great.
We purchased the ShowerGlyde SG2 (Open Box version) and have been very pleased with it after 3 uses.
pros:
As others have commented, it is sturdy, stable, and slides (glydes ;-) smoothly & easily. Our toilet and tub (with shower wand) aren't together, so we're using it strictly as a tub entrance & exit device.
We're using it for a 91yo mildly arthritic stroke victim and they've gotten quickly comfortable with it --having transitioned to the SG2 from a swivel & slide competitor model (we needed the extended length of the SG2, as we're using it with a sit & stand/"Sara Stedy" transport device; the SG2 sits almost exactly at the height our Toto commode seat does, at 17" height)
The seat is a good size for our 164lb individual usage, and the cutout makes washing much easier than a solid seat (as our prior unit had); we've not used the insert, but it fits and would work fine if/when needed
I like that the leg feet aren't hard plastic and have a hard rubber feel to them
I also like that it has an optional (additional cost) swivel seat that can be ordered separately/in the future
Order processing and shipment was prompt, and packaging secure for safe shipping reciept.
cons:
none, really; it's pleasingly functional and has greatly enhanced bathing effectiveness/thoroughness with ease (and @ open box = indistinguishable-from-new price, shipping free, satisfied with the value)
neutrals:
* I wish the seat had handles attached to it, along with the option for the one at one end; it is the only slightly discomforting (new user?) factor for us with the SG2
* update: according to SolutionBased rep in an asked Question: " The legs are white coated aluminum." original: I'm concerned about the metal the white painted legs are made of, as to future corrosion potential due to perpetual moisture exposure; hopefully they're either thinner aluminum as well, or stainless steel (?)
* I'm concerned with the plastic T braces that attached the legs and handle to the rails; no way of knowing the durability of such these days, visually
* I'm concerned with the nylon-type rollers used below the seat and on the rails, again as to longevity; while perhaps they provide slight cushioning and/or noise reduction, i'd rather have found machined aluminum rollers used (especially at this price point)
* I would like to see the black plastic parts in blue (or grey); this is purely an aesthetic/cosmetic preference, nothing functional
* it would be nice for the seat to have some padding (like *cough* one competitor's); tho not padded/cushioned, it serves our main purpose adequately
Overall, 5 star purchase for us (thus far...)
