I am a little worried that there is no clamp to hold the chair in place on the outside rim of the tub. Does it stay in place when in use? Thank

Yes, it does! I was worried about this but when we got the chair I was surprised how sturdy it is.

Our tub is not rough so I can't comment, but it stays "glued" in place in our tub. I clean it with Soft scrub and a brush

it grips over the side of the tub. if you have a curved top and not a solid wall, i do not think this will work because you have to tighten it against the body of the tub and if the top is curved over and the tub inset, it won't work.

Hello, it Does Not lock in place, but it does not constantly move either unless you do it. I Do still recommend this chair for its' comfortability factor and all around nice look to it.

The unit is reasonably portable and can be removed and re-installed with relative ease. The tub surface and shape have to be such that the clamping mechanism functions properly. You say this would be a temporary solution for a vacation rental. Without knowing more of the circumstances, I do not feel comfortable lending a firm opinion either way. If YOU were taking it with you on vacation, I think you would find it handy. If you want to leave it for a random guest, I would have a little more reservation, because you need to be familiar with the device in order to use it properly.

Hi Terri..... I installed this chair for my mom following her hip surgery, and she LOVES it still! Very solid and safe. I do NOT know the dimensions of her tub, (she is out of town), but it was a standard tub and it fir fine, but it has to stay about 6" from the back of the tub because of the curve of the tub. the back legs need the full width of the tub. I have showered there myself WITH the chair in and theres still plenty of room. I hope this helps! I do highly recommend this chair.

There is no stop, it will swing either way if you install it as per their instructions the then the bottom rubber drip rail will rub enough against the top of the tub and that seems to be enough to hold the door in place. I like the fact that it swings out far enough as I enjoy soaking in the tub and it also makes it easy when cleaning the tub. If you have a toilet bowl close to the unit as I do you might want to make certain the bottom of the door clears the top of the bowl, for mine to clear I lift the seat.

There is one suction cup on the bottom, but its to hang it up to dry. I suppose you could use it to fasten it to the tub, but once the water is filled in the tub it doesn't move. I've never had an issue with the tub moving in the bath tub. It is a little slippery on the inside bottom isnyour little one is a wiggle worm, but can easily be fixed with a bath mat or tub stickers that are used in a regular bath tub to prevent slipping.

It fits very solidly on the tub, and back and forth it is extremely steady. Side to side, it is pretty steady. Hope this helped rog

No. There is no clamp or mount. It basically rests on top with an elbow support to stabilize.

I never actually used it in the tub cause it was too big for the size bath I have. I wondered about the same issue also. I would try extending it over the chair once their sitting on it. Hope it helps

The blocks underneath are not so much clamps as they are stops. There main purpose is to keep the shelf from move left to right by capturing the tub in between its jaws. When I set mine up its with a little bit of clearance so after I bolted the blocks in place I no longer have to adjust it. I just drop it on. Your issue with the curved walls, I not sure. The under blocks are 3/4" thick son as long as the curves are the same on both sides of the tub, and dont go past that 3/4" with curve you might be ok. Try it if it dont work send it back. Its a great item. ONe last thing the bolts that clamp the blocks to the plank were a bit long I cut them down to shorten them from sticking out. Regards,

I read the previous response and that is your answer. I keep the chair in the bathtub for we have a shower as well which my husband uses.My husband did the hard part the lock mechanism. By the way I love this chair and it gives me freedom getting in and out of the bath. Have a Blessed Christmas ! Joannie

The Moen seat does not slip in the tub. It is very stable and allows easy access for those having mobility issues. This design has the wide side over the side of the tub, so the person using the seat must pull the shower curtain around so it is somewhat under their bottom to eliminate water from running on the floor. If this seat were used in an enclosed shower, this would not be a problem. The seat is easily assembled. I have not had the occasion to disassemble it.

hmmm, it sags to the extent most cloth-type seats do. It will probably depend on your weight and how much movement you do have in your legs. I'm not sure if you mean putting it in the tub, then sitting on it, then swinging your legs in? If that's the case, I would be very careful. It's pretty light, and if you put too much weight or pressure on any part not centered it might tip. However, I just switched bathrooms today so I guess I could try that (never thought of doing it that way!) and let you know if I survive :). Seriously, I'd be very careful if you do. I am severely limited in mobility in my lower extremities but if you aren't as limited (or as heavy) you might be ok. hmmm, it sags to the extent most cloth-type seats do.

Technically, yes. It would depend on the chair. One side of the clamp is a circular metal part that needs a flat vertical surface to brace to. The other side is a plastic vertical surface with ridges that help mount if the other side of what u r mounting to isn't a completely flat surface.

It needs to clamp on a bar that is basically in the center of chair. Also I used a bungee cord to sturdy the upper part of the umbrella post. We used it as a shade umbrella but it would probably deflect most of water . Not sure if it is water proof.
