Maddak Rotating Shower Stool by Ableware - Ideal for Bathroom Safety and Comfort

RationalizeEverything: I have purchased 2 of these, one for home and one for our 18-wheeler. We stay in hotel rooms often, and what they consider "handicapped accessible bathtubs" and what I consider the same many times doesn't match up. This stool fits the bill. It's sturdy, it rotates, and it's nonskid. I love it. Moreover, it's also been pulled into service on occasion as an extra seat and even a table in the room.

After trying 2 other seats I finally found one that works for me. Recommend.

Cynthia D. McCarthy: Very comfy, very secure but doesn’t spin easily depending on your tub width. Measure your tub and make sure to add how much your knees poke out in front if that makes sense. Mine just barely makes it with a small amount of gymnastics. Forgot about my knees—hence the caveat above.

Sherry Johnston: The stool was purchased to use in our shower stall in order to be safe and comfortable, making showers easier. We are older folks and safety is foremost when deciding on products for the home. This stool is very good. A little on the heavy side, but that is okay! The stool itself is large enough to seat larger hiney's, with the teflon disc installed to allow for ease of movement in getting soap, shampoo, etc. It is extremely sturdy-thus, a little hefty-but not so much as to compromise a little senior from being able to move it around. SO easy to put together-5 minutes start to finish! Fits snugly in the corner of our shower and out of the way. Only wish it did not have a BLUE top! Overall, very happy.

Grateful Grandma: I’m SO excited about finding this excellent product on Amazon. Brought my mom home from her rehab early because of covid. She’s wheelchair bound now with limited mobility so getting her into her bathtub to shower in a very small bathroom has been challenging. Tried a regular shower chair but she couldn’t stand and lift her legs into the tub. Tried the large shower chair that hangs over the edge and it worked but is too big and bulky for her small place. This one is perfect! Small but steady. She could back up to this one and sit. Then with my assistance she could swivel around and easily swing both legs into the tub, one leg at a time. Now, she can shower in privacy with the curtain closed. I can easily help with her shampoo and back wash without getting wet and the bathroom stayed dry. Now I can get rid of the other 2 because this one is a keeper. It arrived quickly and it was very easy to snap the legs into place. At the lowest level it was the perfect height. Highly recommend for a small bathroom/tub even for folks with very limited mobility.

Those Darn Donkeys!: After much searching and trying of others, calling vendors, reading websites, corresponding with this manufacturer before ordering:

YES! It fits our dinky tub. It might fit our dinky shower in a pinch.

Measurements: Seat: 16" diameter. Legs: between is 13 1/4". Across, diameter is 18". So in narrow tub just set it the 13" way.

Because it fits well and is pretty heavy for plastic , it is stable.

Swivel feature - don't know if really necessary or a good idea for all, but went for it. In a small tub you won't be doing 360's in it. but turning a bit to get something will save back strain.

Swivel feature can be removed by taking off the blue seat. Underneath is a regular stool.

VERY easy to adjust legs.

Assembly super easy EXCEPT YOU NEED A LOT OF STRENGTH. I had to call in the big guns to set the legs in. I'm not going to take off a star. Most people know SOMEONE who could do it as a favor, I hope.

I actually really like it.

Note: I also tried the Invacare Care Guard Tool-Less Shower Chair with Back from Amazon. (Suppliers and prices vary. This one was shipped by Amazon so free shipping.) My tub is just a hair over 17"...
