Can water from the shower eventually seep into the chair? I have one (different style & manufacturer) that water has gotten into.

No. It is made of sturdy, durable plastic. The seat has holes in it to drain water off, but there's no way for water to seep inside. The aluminum tubular legs and back support are capped off, so no water can get inside them. I am very pleased with this chair and recommend it to anyone who needs help in the tub or shower.

Sorry about your chair - no no no - so far no water getting to the chair and I use it every day since I got it - believe it has been about 3 months now. The suction cups do not suck (could be the tiles in my shower floor) LOL but it is very stable and it does not move around while you are sitting on it and it was easy to put together (I am 80 yrs female and I did it) - I feel very secure using it. Hope this helps.

If your floor is level you should be able to remove the legs. My shower floor slopes down slightly for drainage so I need the adjustable legs to counter the slope. The bottoms of the teak wood legs will be in contact with the wet floor, but they should be OK if they do.

No, some water will go through the product, but it keeps a large amount of water out. It's good, but not perfect.

Don't think you would have room to stand up with this chair in a shower stall.Measure the shower and then get the chair measurement fully set-up.

Hi,I haven't had any issues just pulling the shower curtain across the seat face abd back into the tub on both sides. The deep channel around the whole seat drains/catches any water that might get by the curtain and returns it to the tub. I've never had a leak outside the tub.

I just make sure the curtain is inside the tub, and the part over the seat is folded so water stays inside. There is a channel built around the seat with drain holes that directs back into the tub. No problem with the water getting on the floor.

I honestly don't know. I didn't use this that long, I found that the shower chair wasn't that stable.

I only use it in the shower so, it's always wet. I hadn't considered using it dry, but I suppose you could. And as a back scratcher as well.

No. We have the shower chair and like it very much. We feel it is safer than most

I've only had it a day, but one of the first things I did was put it under the fawcett. It worked fine. We intend to use it at the pool. I think it would be fine in the shower.

Hi Susan, The seat is used by my elderly dad and his caregiver gives him a shower. He has a removable shower head so she can direct the water for the shower, not sure how she gets around the curtain issue. I would think you could cut a section of shower curtain out where the chair is and then pull the curtain closed enough to cover the part of the seat near the edge of the tub so the water would fall back in the tub and not the floor.

If the shower is in direct sunlight and it's really hot outside (90 degrees or above) then maybe, but I haven't ever had that problem. Most of the time it's a great temperature, but I'm sure it's more of a personal preference than anything. Hope that helps!

I have it in shower, it can get wet with a splash, but I don't think it'll work under water

i use it all the time in the shower. obviously not directly under the water, but you know, in that section under the shower head where you keep things like shampoo, etc. it will get a little wet, but really its not an issue. I've never submerged it in water, but I even take it attached to my paddle when I kayak the SF Bay. Gets wet there too, though never submerged, and has always been totally fine!

If you have high water pressure, it can leak a bit. Just wrap the threads of the shower arm with plumber's tape. You may also need to put plumber's tape on the threads of the filter where the shower head goes as well. Fixed it for me. :)

I don't believe so. It's a generally well designed chair though. The locks in the back can be a hassle but they work alright. The biggest weakness is that over time the chair will malfunction due to repeated prolonged exposure in the shower to the water. But the current model (I'm on our third) is the best so far. But if you use it in the shower regularly, be prepared to replace it every year or two. Still a great deal for the price. Good luck.
