Using this Bobrick B - 5192 folding shower seat is easy. Just unfold it when you need to sit in the shower and fold it back up when you're done to save space. First, ensure it's properly installed according to local building codes. Check that the seat is firmly attached to the wall using the Type 304 stainless - steel frame and mounting bracket with the self - locking mechanism. Only use the seat if you or the item placed on it weighs 500 lbs (227 kg) or less. If you notice that the seat isn't well - secured to the wall, stop using it right away and ask the building owner or maintenance staff to take it out of service. To maintain the seat, simply wipe it down regularly with a mild cleaner to keep the ivory - colored phenolic seat looking clean and fresh. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the seat. With proper use and maintenance, this shower seat will serve you well for a long time.
