How much of a ledge does this item need on each side? That seems to be the only negative review issues.

On one side of my tub, I only have about 1 3/4 to 2 inches. As long as you have aprox. 2 inches or a little more, it will work fine.

Hi. I purchased this item some time ago (had to return it); although I thought we had a "standard" bathtub, the manufacturer told me the bathtub's configuration would not allow the bench to fit. I instead purchased a stool/seat which worked out perfectly. I would suggest looking at the tub stools/seats -- just make sure to measure the bottom width of your bathtub. Jo :)

It is adjustable on both sides but you definately need a tub with an ledge on both sides I knowome of the newer one piece tub wall combos only have a ledge on outside and the bench does not work with those but a standard bath tub has a ledge on both sides and it works great!

At their widest settings the required ledge is about 1.6 Inches. I measured this with tape measure an have been required to be very creative at another location that did not have that minimum ledge.

Hi, I would say 2" each side will be sufficient. In my case, my tub had acrylic walls and i needed the shower bench to be less wide so i could close the acrylic door. I simply had it cut each side to fit my tub with doors opened or closed.

Mine works fine with a ledge of about 1.5" at the back end and about one inch at the front end. (the ledge is wider toward to back of the tub narrowing toward the middle of the tub.) However, I would say a down sie of this bench is that it is difficult to keep clean at the area where it meets the inside ledge of the tub. Another reason to consider a shower stool/seat instead.

Our tub has a thin ledge against the wall and a bigger one on the other side and it works just fine

As a matter of fact it is QUITE sturdy.... The shelf itself comes with 2 straps that you can attach to the top and then screw into the wall to prevent tip overs, but what I did, is screwed the feet (which are pretty big imo) clear to the end of their screw, then pulled the shelf about an inch or two from the wall, leaned it back, and then unscrewed just the front legs about an inch, then I moved the shelf back in about an inch and just let it rest lightly against the wall. It's got a slight backward tilt, but I've had children tug on it, and no topples yet! So yes, quite stable indeed

I'm not sure what you mean about the height being a problem or not. The tilt mechanism does work and I did think it was needed to get just the right angle (personal preference).

I bought one each for my parents armchairs and we found that you didn't need to put anything under the other side. Hope this helps.

No, the sides wouldn't hold up. You can get a platform for pretty cheap. :) have a great day!

We actually have ours on one side against the wall and lower molding. That floor molding isn't extra thick, just standard. The other side is on a metal railing pole. It would slip so we put one of those non slip drink coasters between the bracket and the pole and it works great!

Mine was two sided. It was difficult to get apart but once I did get it apart and installed they have held great. I have had no problem with them falling off at all.

It works both ways, but if you have a cover on it it's best to open it like a book so you don't have all the thickness resting on the wooden ledge. Hope this helps you.

My daughter s 16 months and it doesn't bother her. The bottom angles out a little so it doesnt dangle , the feet rest on the bottom. But, it has no ledge. Hope that helps.

It's more like 4 corner posts. The sides are not a full wall-- there is a gap on each side. It's a good product- swivels easily and looks nice-- use it alot!

It's a slight tilt and only tilts forward, not side to side. If you want a lot of tilting, this item won't work for you.

If it fits your wall, it's pretty sturdy plastic--not flimsy at all. That's not to say a puppy couldn't chew on it, but it's not as fragile as a drywall corner. The problem I had with it is that it didn't look like the pic here--not a right angle at all. If they'll send you the right one, I'd give it a try....

It is finished on both sides, so you'll be fine. However, it is not very stable (see the small base in the pic?), so I'd recommend you at least try to see what it looks like without it (so first shelf directly on the floor). I only realized the issue after I had finished the installation.... so I kept it upside down! (it's 'modern' design, right? Well, I made it even more 'modern'), all good, looks as nice as the pic, no issues!

Because it is a rather tall unit, mounting is helpful. Actually, placing two very small wedge under the front two corners would allow it to very slightly lean back so that it would be less likely to fall forward, assuming you are placing it against a wall.

The edges are the same on all sides. There is not a true chalk ledge, but there is just enough room for chalk only.

Sorry, it was perfect for me, a short little runt (5'3"). Seems like elsewhere on the Internet or on Amazon others had commented about adding (splicing in) another length of pipe to bottom to raise the top section, but I'm not exactly sure how that was done. Need some mechanical engineer type person. The other possibility might be in building up the concrete on the outside and any internal PVC or steel pipe that the two pieces could fit on - but you'd need to reinforce from the outside. Instructions were like to sink 20" of the pole into the ground for stability (I forget the exact number, but it was a ways on down, to give it stability.). So if you made the concrete footing shallower relative to the ground level then you likely will need to have some sort of buttress on the outside, or extra bracing from the ends of the horizontal "T" pole down to the ground (and the appropriate safety "flags" or coloring or flower vines or something so that people don't hurt themselves tripping over the guy wires. Anyway, this is kinda off my head but sorry I don't have a really great solution other then just to research other places. The pole is just about right for me... the clothes line is starting to get a little droopy and catch on my top knot but I just need to tighten them to make it not tangle it up with my head. Otherwise it's working out just fine for me.

I think it would be impossible without a reasonable size ledge. It needs something to rest on.
