Stepping over a tub wall standing is often the hardest part of a bath. The Drive Splash Defense Transfer Bench with Curtain Guard lets you sit on the bathroom side and slide in. A U-shaped cut-out in the seat lets the shower curtain liner hang inside the tub instead of around the bench.
A shower chair stays inside the stall, so you still step in on your feet. If that step is the problem, you want a transfer bench. This Drive Splash Defense Transfer Bench with Curtain Guard keeps two legs in the tub and two on the bathroom floor. After you slide in, the U-cut lets you close the curtain inside the tub so spray stays off the floor outside. The back converts for a left- or right-side tub.
Two legs stay in the tub and two stay on the bathroom floor. You sit on the outer end, scoot across, and bathe without standing through the tub wall. This is not a shower chair that lives only inside the stall.
The seat is cut in a U so the liner can drop into the tub beside you. Close the curtain after you transfer. Water stays in the tub instead of running onto the bathroom floor around a straight bench.
The back is reversible. Convert it for the side of the tub you will use, then leave it. Do that before the first bath so nobody is turning around on a wet floor to face the wrong way.
Dual-column legs move in half-inch steps. Set every leg to the same hole. Suction-style tips go on the tub floor. Rubber tips stay on the bathroom floor. Confirm the bench does not rock before you sit.
The back, legs, and arm assemble without tools. A pinch-free lever presses the push pins so you are not pinching fingers on the legs.
This Splash Defense bench is for someone who can sit and slide but should not step over the tub wall standing, and who wants the shower curtain to hang inside the tub while they bathe. The seat is hard plastic, not a cushion.
It is a weaker fit if they can already step in and only need a seat inside the stall, if a padded seat is the point, or if they need the heavy-duty class.
Most plastic transfer benches use a straight seat. Splash Defense adds the U-shaped cut-out so the curtain liner stays in the tub. The trade-off is a hard plastic seat and the standard 400 lb class, not a cushion and not the 500 lb frame.
