I had to install grab bars in our shower for my wife, and with our current shower seat, things were getting pretty claustrophobic. This fold-away seat is a real spacesaver, sturdy, easy to install, and still larger than our old round stool. The exact same unit is selling elsewhere on Amazon for up to twice as much. Donʻt be fooled by this price thinking it must be a cheap copy. Itʻs not!
