When I visited my local care co store I asked a member of staff about the transfer bench but unfortunately their knowledge was next to none.
When I pointed out that the bench was not tall enough even for their own in store bath I was told that the bench wasn’t meant to go into the bath ?
Anyone who has done there research has obviously seen on YouTube etc that one end goes into the bath and the other stands on the floor outside the bath.
I still purchased the transfer bench because being gifted with half a brain cell I knew that I had the knowledge to make the bench work for my needs by putting a metal tube inside two of the legs that were outside the bath so that it became stable and not like a seesaw.
( a message for care co )
Please train your staff including your managers on your products you sell and if a product doesn’t seem to be fit for purpose ie transfer bench not being tall enough one side please contact the manufacturer to supply slightly longer legs ( approx 2 inches ) .
If this was done you may get a glowing review.

Bath/shower transfer chair
Definitely worth the money
Needed to purchase has a temporary measure so I could use it to have a shower. It adjust to the same height has my wheelchair. The best thing about it is its a large seat, so many times Ive used similar chairs in hotels etc and the actual seat to transfer onto is tiny but this is nice and large.
