Very easy to use
I purchase this shower chair so that I would be able to assist my injured husband shower, and this chair gives the support needed for a relaxing shower. Easily assembled, durable, and makes transfer from wheelchair to shower chair very easy as the arms move up and out of the way. (For us I did not install the leg rests), also the removable center is very convenient for washing and rinsing the hard to reach areas. For us, this item has allowed my husband to shower in the evenings and weekends when additional help is not available. Highly recommend this product.

Bucket removal info and other clarifications on what it can and cannot do
Overall a nice product but some adjustments needed for next design. Easy to assemble , sturdy for a petite person. I would not want to put anyone heavy on this. My mom is 115 pounds and it is perfect size for her. I bought this due to the very narrow bathroom door and bathroom. The great part is I can wheel it right over the toilet even in very tight quarters with a lip on the show right in front of the toilet. Because my shower has a 5 inch lip I have not used as a shower chair for her so can't comment on that. I have also used as a bed side commode. So first the good things - Easy to assemble, seat is height adjustable, the arms flip up which can be very useful in transferring a person, legs easily swing in and out and foot rests up and down, great for narrow areas provided your loved one is small - If you are not needing a narrow chair then there are others on the market that would be better for the price. Now for the negatives which if you don't have these concerns then the chair is fine: 1) The biggest issue is if you are buying as a caretaker to care for loved one that is not very mobile. I thought I could move my mom from the bed to this and then into the bathroom and over the toilet. As she can't stand alone and is very unstable I try and limit how many times I have to get her up and down, for herself as well as my back. I thought I could get her out of bed and onto this chair after undressing her bottom and once i got her into the bathroom could slip out the bucket since I thought this great design unlike most commodes does not require the person to be off the chair. So my thought was I could use the buck during tranport in case of accidents, once near toilet slip it out and use over the toilet. You cannot remove the bucket when the person is on the seat nor can you insert it. So if you wanted to empty it before pushing your loved one into the shower for instance you can't do that without getting them off the seat as their bottom is now in the hole and the design is such that the buck and track are right up against the seat not hung lower to slide out while avoiding the buttocks plus you could pinch and hurt the person trying. 2) To clarify the seat height adjusts but the arms do not and the arms are set too high; 3) The seat is NOT comfortable . It is very hard. Provided these three items are not important to you overall it is a great chair for narrow spaces and if you are only using as a bed side commode it is a nice way to move the chair to go right behind the person versus trying to move the person to the chair. If the makers in their next design would address arm height, comfort of seat and most importantly drop the bucket down a inch or so in order to allow inserting and removal while on the seat it would be an excellent product. One last thing, the brakes are hard to push on/off and can't do so just with your foot- but they work great. Maybe over time they would get a bit loose and easier. So overall a good product but really depends on your specific needs. I could try and rig a few things like hang some kind of a bucket like a dish pan lower on the frame somehow again just for that "just in case of accident" while heading to the bathroom and maybe find some kind of cushion to put on the seat but then there are sanitary concerns there and for this price, you should not have to find work arounds. Overpriced for what it lacks.

Overall, a very useful tool.
This chair met the need...we needed something narrower than a normal wheelchair to get through the bathroom door. It is sturdy and is useful for bathroom visits to avoid the normal “potty chair”; the one that stays over the toilet and just gets in the way in a small bathroom. You know the one, you trip over the legs as you try to get in the shower, turn to use the sink, etc etc. one thing that is annoying about this chair is that the piece used to fill-in the hole in the middle of the chair just continues to randomly fall out...we decided to just leave it out altogether. The pull-out potty pan is useful when needed. The only other concern about this chair is that it has a short depth, so don’t plan on using it for anything other than shower/bath. If the occupant is tall/large, they may feel like they’re falling forward out of the chair. The arms that adjust up and down are useful when necessary to do lateral transfers and the chair sits a bit higher than a normal wheelchair, so the occupant can usually slide laterally and let gravity do the work. Finally, the locks on the wheels work really well. Not only do they lock so the wheel doesn’t roll, but they lock the 360 degree rotating neck of the wheel also. Remember to glide the wheelchair into place before attempting to lock the wheels, because if they are not in the correct position, it’s difficult to get your leg under the chair to kick the wheel locks on/off. Since we use it at home, sometimes I’m in my socks only - no shoes- and it’s really hard to kick the locks off without shoes on...it hurts your feet. Having the wheels in the wrong position makes it next to impossible without walking a full circle around the chair and contorting yourself in a small space. Also, the occupant typically won’t be able to unlock the wheels on their own, so someone has to help them at all times while they’re in the chair or they’ll be stuck. Alternatively, this can make for dangerous situations sometimes if the occupant is motivated to move without help. If you are caring for someone with some mobility that also has dementia you have to be very careful or they’ll attempt to standup or move to a position that puts them in danger of a fall.

Great product
This was a game changer! 3 in 1. The wheels are great and it just glides. Only reason I didn't give it 5 star, is the pan underneath is inserted from the front. It's extremely or even impossible to put in or take out as needed when patient is in chair. This could have been perfect if it was relocated to inserte from the back. Little 💩 dropping on the way to the toilet are inconvenient. I still love it and recommend.
