I bought this stool, because, as I get older, I have more difficulty in cleaning my lower legs and feet in the shower. This, indeed, is the answer!
Being seated in the shower brings a stability and comfort I was beginning to think was lost to me.
I have a double shower cubicle, so space is no problem, but I suspect a standard size would prove too cramped for a large frame like mine, and the stool.
Since buying this item, I have seen the same unit, but with fold away legs. This may not be as stable, I don't know, but I think I would have gone for that option, sadly not available on Amazon
