I have used transfer benches before for knee surgery recovery and wondered how this one would compare I lam pleasantly surprised. It was lightweight, easy to put together and the large suction cups and arm support make it very secure to use. My only complaint is that the third part of the bench which sits partially outside the tub has drainage holes that are not covered by the body so that even with some clever shower curtain manipulation, water leaks onto the floor so you may need to mop up afterwards. The description states a 250lb capacity but the box states 300 lbs.
