Customer Reviews for VEVOR Folding Oak Shower Seat, 16.1" x 13.4" Unfolded, Wall Mounted Fold Up Shower Bench with 440 lbs Load Capacity, Space Saving Home Care Fold Down Shower Chair, for Seniors Pregnant Women Children

This is a helpful addition to any shower stall . Care must be taken to insure lag bolts are used and threaded into studs in the wall behind the tiling. Before I covered the studs in my shower I made a map measuring placement before the cement board went up. Other options are available to locate the studs, just make sure whoever installs this wonderful bench has the proper knowledge to do the job correctly. Question them thoroughly and if they can’t answer your questions, find someone else.

We have been using a spare folding chair in our bathroom for the last year. It's a bit tacky. This fold down seat is a vast improvement to our house. It gives the flexibility of having a seat when wanted, and being able to fold it away when it is not needed. The teak wood is very appropriate for a shower. I like that water will naturally drain off of this. I am planning on putting up tile in my bathroom, so I will remove the green board and put in reinforcements for seat. I am looking forward to getting the chance to try this seat out. I believe you can mount this without studs, but I would question the strength of the seat.

My mother in law is moving into the house soon, and we needed a seat for the shower remodel. Vevor is making a name for itself as a brand that has lower-cost items, and I know that often comes with skepticism on quality. Much like other Vevor products I've bought, this has consistently good quality. It folds up flat and I can hang a towel or washcloth on it. The contractor said that this was a normal, easy install and we're very confident on it being able to hold weight.

Ok, this shower bench is pretty nice for the price, it looks sleek and I love the fact it can be raised and that unlike built-in shower benches, there are no corners for water to collect and eventually seep through causing water damage over time. You can leave it in the down position if you have the room or just close it when you're done. Here's the thing, this is best suited for new showers or if you're getting your old shower redone because it NEEDS to be anchors to the studs behind the wall and also in order to install it exactly where you want it you may have to add blocking or extra studs. I'm a tile installer by trade and did our own shower over about three years ago so I had pictures and measurements of the studs in our shower saved so I knew where I could and could not anchor it. I question the 500lbs rating, but have no way to prove that wrong, but it seems sturdy enough for most people, I'm a big guy and it supports me fine. The teak wood looks nice, it's a clean minimalist design. For the price I think it's a good deal. Will update this review if need be.
