Home Care Bath Safety Tub Transfer Bench, Shower Chair for Elderly and Disabled with Adjustable Height, Handicap Accessories for Daily Living, DN7105

This is a review of the Moen DN7105 Home Care Transfer Bench. This is a really well made transfer bench for the bathtub/shower. It is sturdy, offers good back support and has an adjustable & very stable base and leg system. It's quite easy to put together requiring only a phillips head screwdriver. All the screws and washers you'll need are included in the package. It took me about 10 minutes to put it together. The bench seat is 33 inches wide by 18 inches deep. The legs use push button adjusters and can be adjusted from 16.5 to 21". Generally you will have to adjust the legs inside the tub to be shorter than the pedestal leg that is outside the tub. Each of the inner legs can be adjusted individually. The legs have silicone ends on them making them resistant to slipping. This is designed to hold up to 400 pounds. The legs inside the tub splay out a bit giving this very good stability, something I was very concerned about. The bench seat is wide and has rounded end that makes transfer quite easy. In my experience installing this we ran up against a couple issues... if the bathroom is small, you may possibly have a toilet very close to the bathtub. In that case, you may find this too large to enable easy entry and exit from the bench as the person's legs may be impeded by the toilet. There is also the issue of dealing with the shower curtain. There is a definite likelihood that water will not be contained in the bathtub/shower since the bench seat extends outside of the tub. Although there is a water channel around the perimeter of the seat, it will not contain all the water. If you search on Amazon you will discover shower curtains that have a split panel that might provide a better solution. If your tub has sloping walls you may have to have this further away from the edges and/or back of the tub than you may have thought. The handle on the one side of the bench is really great for giving the person using this a solid grab point and support point as they pivot into the tub. There is also a handy little attachment that lets you park a handheld shower head for ease of use. However you may have to get a longer hose to the handheld shower if yours is short. I am very impressed with the quality and utility of this transfer bench.

This shower bench was easy to assemble because it came with clear, well-written instructions. I'm not mechanically savvy, but I had it from box to tub in about 45 minutes. And it's well made but isn't heavy, a blessing since I'm the one helping my husband--he broke ankle in 3 places, & can't put weight on his left foot & ankle for 2 months--and I'm not very strong. However, it's easy for me to store in the bath tub when not in use, or to take out of the tub when I want to shower, or to position the bench when he wants to shower. An almost perfect bench, but I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars for stability, because it moves a little more than I'd like when he sits down, but we also have a non-slip bath mat that might be the problem. The ONLY problem I have is adjusting the legs. I struggled to push in the buttons to adjust the height & once I got both sides the correct height, I never messed with the legs again. If you have strength issues for any reason, you might need help adjusting the legs. But better safe and well-constructed legs, than that the buttons push in or shift too easily, because I read about other benches that collapsed on users. Instead, I have 100% faith that our Moen bench is safe, which is most important. But my husband also said it's comfortable & he loves the holder in the front of the bench for the shower head. (I ordered an extra long shower hose when we ordered the bench, and so glad I did.) For easier use, I cut the shower curtain liner in the middle, and made a verticle opening for the bench & user (a physical therapist gave me that tip), and there's never water on the floor, because you still have the curtain in front of and behind you. He's been using the bench for 6 weeks now & we haven't had one problem. I highly recommend this Moen shower bench!

My son had a horrific car wreck and is currently in a wheelchair recovering. He played college football & golf and needless to say is a big guy. I debated about purchasing one of the cheaper chairs. However, those aluminum legs on those just didn't look like they would support his weight. Many of the reviews said as much. This turned out to be a great purchase. It's rock solid and worth every penny. We're currently in an apartment after selling so fast our beach condo. The tub is rather small, but the chair fits perfectly. The height on both sides is adjustable. It was easy to put together. He is able to sit on the outside and work his legs over & scoot to inside the tub. We tuck the shower liner around him to prevent water from ending up on the floor. Works great. So glad we went with this one!

This is an outstanding shower bench. It is very sturdy and provides excellent stability. I encountered 2 problems. First, it is huge. This is made for a large bathroom, not for an apartment like myself. Second, if you have a rounded bottom bathtub, this is not for you. At best you can get perhaps within 3-4 inches of the inside wall of the tub if the bottom curves upward. This makes it almost impossible to get your legs over the outside of the tub. If you have a large bathroom with a square bathtub, buy this, you wouldn't be sorry. I personally had t o disassemble and find someplace to store it, as it cannot be returned.

Extremely stable, does not slide, rubber feet hold well. I tried 2 different bath chairs prior due to the limited narrow bathroom space (as you can see from the photo) and had to return them. This one fits mostly inside the shower a with wide foot on the outside which does not take up floor space, if I pull the curtain you can’t even tell it’s there. It’s the perfect height I am able to slide in seated with the help of the handle. At first I showered with my surgical leg on the outside of the tub as time progressed I was then able to stand on one foot and ease my surgical left over. High weight capacity.

What a fantastic, durable, well made, and strong product! The person I purchased this for went on and on about how impressed he was! It was easy to put together. He is really looking forward to using it. It holds up to 400 pounds, which was necessary in our situation, and you can tell it is very sturdy. The handle is non slip and perfect for a person to lift themselves up and out of the tub. Only one suggestion would be if it had holes in the seat and back for the water to flow through.

If you are a heavier person, this is the most sturdy shower chair you can find in my opinion. The first one I received was a little defective in which the bolt that locks in would not fully stay in and can suddenly pop in and you would drop down. I received a replacement right away and the second chair was fine. Due to its sturdiness, not as easy to move in and out of your shower.

Well made and Sturdy and Strong. Exactly what I wanted when I was having Bi-lateral Total Knee Replacement surgeries. No complaints what so ever.

I bought this product for my elderly father to slide into my tub/shower with less risk of slipping and falling. The design is good and materials sturdy. However when I went to use it, the walls of my standard size one/piece vynal tub/shower were too high for it. The legs at full extension did not reach the ground. A dissappointment, as the main virtue of this design is that it bridges a tub wall so the user can sit down and then slide over into ths shower, lifting their legs. Otherwise a shower bench would do.

Well made, very solid, easy to put together.
