Drive Medical 12025KD-1 Folding Universal Sliding Transfer Bench, Gray

I really like this Drive Tub Transfer Bench. I got the one that holds 500lbs just because I wanted a real sturdy one. My husband & I like to sit down sometimes when we take a shower. We are both in our late 70s so It is really nice to have a nice Sturdy Transfer Bench. It also has a nice wide back on it and a grab bar on the end so you don’t fall off. And it has big suction cups on 2 legs inside the tub so you don’t have to worry about it tipping over. I really like it and my husband does too. We tried just a regular TubChair It was really tippy and neither my husband or I liked it. It felt like it would tip over backwards at any minute. it. We sent it back and then got The Drive Tub Transfer Bench. I’m glad we did. One other thing It is super easy to put together. No tools needed. We both really liked that.🙂🙂Our Drive Tub Transfer Bench gets 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠5 stars from both my husband & I and 👍👍

Great product! After a recent hospital stay, I needed a transfer bench. Never even looked at another one. Drive had exactly what I needed at a reasonable price. It was super easy to put together [no tools needed] and adjusting it for my tub was easy. It is heavy weight, sturdy, and very stable. I had reservations about the suction cups but they are holding fast inside the tub. They are holding so good that I couldn't pull them off. It took 2 beefy neighbor guys to pull them up! I feel safe getting in & out of the shower now. The prefab shower stall in my bath is smaller than most & I had to detach the siderail so it would fit but it will fit in a full size 5 foot tub easily. You will need a catch basin to keep water off the floor but that is a small price to pay for safety. I recommend this product.

I love this bench! It has allowed me to return back to the bathtub after losing my ability to stand. I am about 375lbs and tall but feel very secure on the bench. It is very sturdy and heavy duty. Has 2 suction cups on inside legs that truly stick. You will need a little strength to remove after use. Easy to assembly and can be transported when you travel. Only down side ... huge! My tub is standard apt size tub and it takes up a lot space.

Very simple to assemble. I have a whirlpool style bath tub, so the walls are taller than a typical bath tub. This seat has enough height to straddle my tub wall. I ended up not using the back or side rail as they got in the way. It was great to be able to sit on the stool while still outside the tub, and then slide over into the tub. It feels quite sturdy and safe. After reading other reviews, I was concerned about how well the suction legs would stick to the bumpy surface of the inside of the tub, but I did not have any problems with that.

Used this transfer seat in my tub after knee surgery. I don"t know how I would have showered with out it. I weighted 350# at the time and it was very sturdy. Easy assembly with NO nuts and bolts. All snaps together and apart. When a month went buy I started to be able to step into tub, so cleaned it with soap water and bleach then sold it on line. Got 1/3 my money back which made it an excellent deal for me.Note: It's not that I couldn't have forced the climbing into the tub/shower but if you slip in the first 6 weeks you will be sorry.

(For the record, I actually did not want to give a single star as a rating, because I thought this transaction was just awful. But of course, I could not post my review without giving a star, so here you go.)This was ordered for my elderly mother per the occupational therapist providing care for her. She suggested this particular model and was additionally helpful by offering to assemble this transfer bench.However, there were two issues that prevented the use of this transfer bench. 1.) One of the rods that attaches under the seat was missing. 2.) One of the legs would not lock in place, and therefore would not be able to hold any weight (i.e. unsafe to use at all).AMAZON DID NOT MAKE THIS RETURN EASY AT ALL. It states off the bat that this item is only available for exchange or refund. When I tried to process a return for this item, I was only given the option to contact the manufacturer directly (great timing, since this happened the weekend of Labor Day 2022).When I finally heard back from the manufacturer's customer service (this Tuesday, after Labor Day), they informed me that since I received this less than 30 days ago, that I would need to GO BACK TO AMAZON CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR MY REFUND!So I did, and was given my refund to a gift card about 2 - 3 hours later as they stated. But I didn't need to return the defective item to Amazon, now I had homework to do and take out their own trash!This was a waste of time and disappointing.

It worked find for a few months of weekly use, but its not strong enough to call it 'Heavy Duty.' Eventually one of the leg fittings gave out and the whole thing buckled.

I am very happy with this transfer bench that I needed due to a severe ankle sprain and fracture. No tools needed to assemble. It feels very sturdy and comfortable when I use it to take a shower. And, I can use it without help from my husband. One tip I would suggest is that you place your inside tub mat and your outside tub rug in place before adjusting the legs. We didn't & had to readjust the legs after both mats were down.5/2014 Update: The two legs inside the tub have large suction cups with tabs you need to pull to release from tub. It's difficult to do. I searched everywhere for replacement rubber tips, even calling Drive Medical and Amazon with no success. I finally found them & easily unscrewed each suction cup and replaced with a similar tip that the other two legs on the outside of the tub have. If you use a rubber mat inside your tub like I do, the suction cups are completely unnecessary, as they cannot stick to rubber. And, when your shower is over & you remove your mat the transfer bench sticks to the bottom of your wet tub so fiercely that you cannot move it. What a huge problem this became for me. Now it is solved. Another problem that I can't solve is the too small opening that doesn't allow me to place my shower curtain in to prevent water spilling on the floor.
