Does the shower seat fold away?
Yes, the shower seat can be folded into an upright position against the wall to save space when not in use.
What material is the shower seat made from?
The legs and frame are made from stainless steel, and the seat is padded.
Is this shower seat suitable for all bathroom sizes?
It is designed to be compact and foldable, making it suitable for smaller bathrooms. However, ensure you have adequate wall space for mounting and folding.
Troubleshooting
Seat feels unstable after installation.
Ensure all wall fixings are securely tightened. Verify that the correct type and length of fixings have been used for the wall material. Check that the adjustable feet are properly seated on the floor.
Height adjustment is stiff.
Gently move the adjustment mechanism while ensuring no obstructions. Clean the adjustment points with a damp cloth and consider a light application of a suitable lubricant if necessary (ensure it's safe for bathroom environments).
Padded seat cover is difficult to remove or reattach.
Ensure you are following the correct procedure for removal and reattachment. Sometimes a slight wiggle or gentle pressure is required. Clean around the attachment points if dirt or soap scum is obstructing it.
Water pooling on the padded seat.
Ensure the seat is installed with a slight forward tilt (if the design allows for subtle angle adjustment) to promote drainage, or ensure the padded cover is properly fitted and drains effectively after use.
