- PROFESSIONAL GRADE sliding transfer shower bench, bath, and shower chair for inside shower. Effortless sliding and pivoting for safe, easy transfers in and out of the tub. Platinum Health products are used in thousands of hospitals, nursing homes, and private homes by customers who value quality, safety, convenience, and comfort over price. Note: OPTIONAL LEG EXTENSION KIT AVAILABLE FOR TUBS WITH HIGH LEDGE.
- PADDED SHOWER SEAT, BACK, AND ARMRESTS. No more cold, slippery, hard plastic parts like old-style bath chairs; the well-made Carousel provides warm-to-the-touch, comfortable, slip-resistant padding on all main components. The medical-grade, closed-cell molded polyurethane padding on this shower chair for the bathtub will not absorb any water and is easy to clean and disinfect.
- SWIVEL-SEAT SPACE-SAVING DESIGN. Not only is the swivel seat safer, easier to use, and more comfortable than a standard fixed seat, this bath chair shower chair for seniors design means that the chair protrudes into the room much less than a traditional transfer bench. More convenient for the user, and more convenient for others that don’t require the use of the chair since the free space in the bathroom is much greater.
- ROBUST, WEIGHT-BEARING ARM RESTS. The padded arm rests on this bath and shower chair for seniors provide extra safety and convenience. Unlike standard chairs with no armrests, the robust armrests on the Carousel can be used as leverage points to help the user into and out of the chair. They also provide important additional physical and psychological support against slips and falls and fear of slips and falls.
- HIGH CONTRAST COLOR FOR SAFETY. Our unique HI-VIEW BLUE color makes the key parts of this handicap shower chair with arms much easier to see by vision-impaired users, ideal for handicapped accessories. Rather than blending in with the background like old-style white benches, the blue contrast color helps users distinguish the chair from its surroundings and significantly reduces slips, trips and falls- the leading cause of death by injury in people over 65.

Family member had hip surgery. This makes getting into the shower/tub much easier and safer. Thought we were going to have to remodel and get a walk in tub. The chair is very sturdy, chair turns easily, and glides smoothly. A reviewer called this the “Cadillac” of shower chairs. I agree. We already had a shower chair, but it did not fit in the tub. Part of this fits in the shower and the other part sits outside the tub. We have family member stand and they can hold on to the handles for balance or can quickly sit if they get tired. If you are careful, can give someone a shower and not too much water spills out. This is worth every penny.

I’ve only had this fantastic device for a couple of weeks. What I have learned is that it is very easy to use. It instills a degree of confidence that even though you may be temporarily handicapped you can still have a degree of independence that is awesome.This device is a well thought out, completely sturdy, method of getting in and out of a shower that is also a bathtub. Because the seat swivels, transferring to the seat is made exceptionally easy. As you approach the seat it is facing out of the bathtub allowing you to transfer as if it were a normal chair. The makeup of this transfer chair is exceptionally sturdy and reliable for your use.It seems that all of the buttons and levers are where they need to be regardless of the potential embarrassment of having to reach between a persons legs in order to trigger the ability to slide the chair in and out of the bathtub. I think the primary users of this chair will be persons that are disabled in some way but can still fend for themselves to one degree or another.I love the independence this transfer chair gives me. I feel it’s an exceptional value for the quality and usability it provides. Because I had read several comments that involved the seat being seen as slippery, I purchased some of the tape that can be used as a non slip surface in bathtubs and on stairs. I feel the seat, with the tape, is not slippery at all, even with soap and water being used while on the seat.I definitely give this bathtub transfer chair the five stars it deserves.

I have been paralyzed from the waist down for 7 years now. Over those 7 years I have purchased 6 shower benches prior to this bench. EVERY one of those benches has been lucky to last me 1 year before having to be thrown out! I have had the ones with cushions and ones with fiberglass seat, and NONE of them has made it a year before they were rusted, cushions split, nasty, and not worth saving. Then I found this shower bench! I was hesitant to spend $300 on a shower bench until my wife reminded me that every other bench I had costed me between 80 and 100 dollars, and they didn’t swivel or slide. So I took the plunge and spent the money, and let me say that I am SO GLAD I DID!!This bench is everything that all of my other benches WERE NOT! The rails are REAL aluminum instead of the garbage aluminum plated metal that all of the old benches were made out of! The cushions are solid pieces of heavy duty waterproof foam material instead of the cheap and thin vinyl covered foam/wood cushions which always split after 3-6 months on the other shower benches. I can tell these cushions will last a long time. Even the rubber rail bushings and feet are REAL rubber instead of the cheap grey “rubber” feet used on all the other benches. Basically, I can tell this shower bench was constructed right, with quality materials and was properly engineered to provide a quality product that will last and perform for years. I only wish I had bought this shower bench 7 years ago!!The shower bench comes in a box which almost looks too small to contain the correct product. But I can assure you it does contain the correct shower bench. I was able to put the bench together by myself, from my wheelchair, in about 15 minutes. If you have a helper, or an able bodied person to put it together, you could put it together even quicker. The swivel and slide functions work perfectly, even better than I had expected! I am truly amazed at how well this product looks and functions! When I think back on all of the other shower benches I have wasted good money on, the $300 price tag for this chair is more than reasonable. Especially considering that this chair also swivels and slides!And finally, the people at Platinum Health are extremely courteous and quick to reply, should you need to contact them! When I ordered this product I was without any shower bench, because my previous one had broken in our move, so I was unable to shower at all. I contacted the seller, explaining that I was without a bench, and asked if there was any way they could expedite my order and they responded within a few hours and tried their best to help out. It turns out that they had a warehouse about an hour from where I live, but unfortunately I waited too long to contact them or they could have had it shipped from that warehouse. Even with it shipping from a few states away, it arrived 3-4 days earlier than I had expected! They have even emailed me twice after I received the bench, to ask how my experience has been and if I have any questions or concerns!To sum it up, if you are considering purchasing this product, GO FOR IT! You won’t be disappointed! And NO, I DID NOT RECEIVE THIS PRODUCT FOR FREE OR AT A DISCOUNT. I purchased it for full price and had no other incentive, other than necessity, to do so.
