Medline Adjustable Transfer Bench Review
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details
The Medline transfer bench is an adjustable bench for a bathtub or shower, with a reversible backrest, a stationary armrest, and a 400-pound capacity. A transfer bench sits across the tub wall so the user can sit on the outside part and then move onto the inside part. This review covers the listing’s specifications for people who want a bench rather than a freestanding chair, and it notes where the listing gives different figures.
This site covers showerheads, and a transfer bench is a different product type. Every spec below comes from the Amazon listing, checked on 2026-10-12. We have not tested this bench, and nothing here is medical advice.
Quick answer
This bench suits a bathtub user who needs a seat that crosses the tub wall, with a 400-pound rating and a height that adjusts. Before buying, measure the tub wall height and the distance to the seat. Check the listing for the material and weight figures, which differ between the specifications and the bullets. If you have a walk-in shower with no tub wall, a freestanding chair may fit better.

Pros (as the listing describes them): 400-pound rating; a seat height that adjusts; a reversible backrest; slip-resistant and suction-cup feet; tool-free assembly; a 26.5-inch seat width in the specifications.
Cons: the listing gives different weights, 12.6 pounds in the specification and 11 pounds in a bullet, and different minimum heights, 18.5 inches and 17.5 inches. The material is listed as aluminum in one place and steel in another. The bench is larger than a chair, at 32 inches wide.
Best for: a user who needs a bench to cross a tub wall, within the 400-pound limit.
Skip if: you have a walk-in shower with no tub wall, your tub is too narrow for a 32-inch bench, or you need a single confirmed material and weight before buying.

Fit checklist before you buy
- Measure the tub wall height and the width of the tub rim.
- Check that the 32-inch overall width fits the tub and the room.
- Measure the seat height you need from the tub floor and compare it with the 17.5-to-22-inch range.
- Follow the manual for assembly and for the tub position of the feet.
