Customer Reviews of Medline Bariatric Bath Bench without Back

Customer Review: Although It Is Not Perfect, This Is the Best of the Lot.
Summary: 5 Stars

Here are the good things about this bath bench:

1. It is light weight and will not rust because the sitting platform is durable plastic and the metal supports and legs are tubular aluminum. Almost all other competing models have painted steel tubing and are subjected to rust.

2. It can handle 550 lbs. of weight. As a result, it can serve almost 99.999% of the population.

3. The two aluminum cross-tubs prevent the legs from bending and causing the bench to collapse. As a safety precaution, all bath benches should have this feature, but they do not.

4. For bath benches that can handle 500 lbs. or more, this is the most inexpensive. I know because I checked out every competing model on the internet. In addition, look no further than the amazon.com website, the price is the cheapest in the U.S.

5. The design of the sitting platform, tubular supports, legs, and screw holes help water to completely drain away. As a consequence, there are no mold and mildew problems and buildup as found in other competing models.


Here are the bad things on this item. Please be aware that all other similar models have these inherent problems.

1. This product is designed for a walk-in shower stall with a large area. In most homes, this is not the typical arrangement. Most have a bathtub with an accompanying shower head. In this kind of setup, the bath bench occupies 40% of the area.

2. Because of the narrowness of the bathtub, a person can not sit on it as designed. S/he has to sit on one end of the bench.

For this reason, do not buy the deluxe model with a back rest. You will not be able to use it in a bath tub.

3. In a rare occasion if a person partially sit on the edge and lean forward, an imbalance in the weight may cause the back end to flip up. As a result, the occupier will fall on his/her butt. Injury will be a certainty.

This is a design defect. By flaring the legs out by an inch or more, this possibility can be avoided.
