The bath board was extremely well made and sturdy and mum felt safe sitting on it, it was lovely for her to be able to have a shower after she broke her shoulder, with my help, I could also wash her hair without soaking the bathroom and both of us in the process, now that she is a lot better and she can stand she places all her shower stuff on it so its all to hand, when she takes a shower and of course if she feels unwell or becomes less able to stand, the board will again be handy, a great piece of equipment!
