The Medline shower chair has a backrest, padded armrests and a 350-pound capacity. Its aluminum frame and slip-resistant rubber feet are described in the listing, and the legs adjust the seat height between about 16 and 21 inches. This review covers the listing’s specifications for people who want a chair with a backrest for a shower or tub, and it notes where the listing is unclear.

This site covers showerheads, and a shower chair is a different product type. Every spec below comes from the Amazon listing, checked on 2026-10-12. We have not tested this chair, and nothing here is medical advice.

Quick answer

This is a straightforward chair with a backrest and armrests for a shower or tub, with a 350-pound capacity. It is lighter than many bench designs, and the listing gives its dimensions in one place. Check the seat height against your shower, and confirm the weight capacity suits the user. If you need more than 350 pounds of rating, or a bench to step over a tub wall, look at other styles.

Cons: the listing does not state a warranty. The listing describes it as suitable for seniors and adults with balance or strength needs, but it does not give clinical guidance, so check the fit with the person who will use it.

Check that the chair’s 16-inch seat width and 13.5-inch depth fit the space you have.
Confirm the user’s weight is within the 350-pound limit.
Follow the manual for assembly and for any limits on use.
