Comfort

Pros:

• "The seat is comfort able to use and serves its purpose; and the shower hose sockets are also useful."
• "Purchased for my mom when she transferred to a new memory care assisted living facility. The one provided at the previous facility was more of a chair type (with a back). Was worried she might not like this since it didn't have a back, but she said it was much more comfortable than the one she used prior."
