easy to rinse clean and above all, is comfortable to sit on. This shower chair works well for me in my shower cubicle after having had hip replacement surgery. I can use the arms to push myself up to a standing position and to gently lower myself down. When I removed all the packaging, I found a scratch on the paintwork, but decided to just live with it as it was the day before surgery and I couldn't deal with the hassle of returning it.
