The Living Caring folding wall-mounted shower seat combines a wall plate, two adjustable support legs and a removable padded seat surface. It folds upward when not in use, making it an option for a shower where the available floor space needs to be shared.

How does the folding shower seat fit into a bathroom?
The product shows a single wall-mounting plate at the back and two legs that meet the floor when the seat is lowered. When folded, the legs and seat move up toward the wall. The product listing describes a roughly 4-inch folded profile, while the seat itself measures approximately 16 inches wide by 14 inches deep. Measure the open position and the folded position, including space for shower controls, movement and any door.
Unlike a freestanding shower chair, the mounting location remains fixed. A portable chair may be preferable when several bathrooms need the seat or when the wall cannot support the mounting system.
How is the seat height chosen?
The legs have six adjustment levels, and the seller instructs buyers to set the desired height before installation. The written specifications list about 17 to 22 inches; a product diagram shows approximately 17.7 to 22.6 inches. Confirm the actual adjustment range for the supplied model before planning the installation, particularly when a specific sitting height is necessary.
Choose a position that provides appropriate foot support and works with the user's transfer plan. Check clearance for both legs on a firm floor and allow room to approach without relying on the seat moving.
What wall and installation support are needed?
The listing specifies a load-bearing or solid brick wall. The seat must be secured to a suitable supporting structure using the correct installation method and hardware; a tiled surface alone does not establish that the wall can carry the load. Have a qualified installer assess the wall, water-resistant sealing and the supplied instructions before installation. Do not rely on the legs alone if the wall mounting is unsuitable.
The listing gives a 550-pound maximum in its specification and also uses a 400–550-pound range elsewhere. Confirm the applicable rating and installation conditions for the model and wall. A stated product rating is not a guarantee that a particular wall installation can support that load.
What comes with the seat and bar options?
The product offers a seat-only option and a seat-and-grab-bar option. The images show a separate bar with the latter; check the exact contents and installation instructions for the chosen option. The seat has a removable PU pad over a textured panel, and the listing identifies drainage openings. Clean and reinstall the pad according to the supplied directions.
A separate grab bar must be properly installed and positioned for the intended user. Neither a seat nor a grab bar replaces a personal transfer assessment or assistance when needed.
