Description
The HealthCraft SerenaSeat WSAL is a wall-mounted folding shower seat with a bamboo seat and back on an aluminum frame, rated over 400 lbs (181 kg) when fixed to sound structure.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Folds against the wall to under 3.25 in (8.3 cm) on a tension hinge, so it is out of the way when not in use.
- Two hidden 15.5 in (39.4 cm) supports carry the load into the wall.
- Seat 18 or 26 in (46 or 66 cm) wide, 3/4 in (1.9 cm) laminated bamboo, with a removable bamboo backrest.
- Aluminum frame in grey, matte black or oil-rubbed bronze.
- Weight 8.6 lbs (3.9 kg) at 18 in and 12.6 lbs (5.7 kg) at 26 in.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
It suits someone who can sit in the shower and wants the seat to fold away, where the wall can take a structural fixing. Choose the Stainless Pro version for a 500 lb rating, a freestanding bench if the wall cannot take screws, or a transfer bench for a tub.
Will it fit?
- Seat 18 or 26 in wide and 20 or 28 in (51 or 71 cm) overall, with mounting holes 16 or 24 in (41 or 61 cm) apart by width; measure the studs.
- Fix into sound wall structure; no metal studs, no unknown structure and no flimsy fibreglass or acrylic. Add wood blocking where support is missing.
- The seat must be lowered to load and is for one person at a time.
- It is not intended for outdoor use. A free home assessment can check the wall.
Using it day to day
- Lower the seat before sitting; never load it while folded.
- Fold it up after use and keep fingers clear of the hinge.
- Clean the bamboo with mild soap, water and a soft cloth, then dry along the grain; no abrasive cleaners.
- Check the wall fastening and the hinge now and then.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- 400 lbs (181 kg) only with the instructed structural installation.
- It is a seat, not a step or a standing platform.
- It is permanently fixed, not portable.
- The backrest lifts off for cleaning or storage.
Which version should I choose?
- 18 or 26 in width; the wider seat needs the wider hole spacing.
- Grey, matte black or oil-rubbed bronze frame, each a separate item.
How does it compare?
- SerenaSeat Pro: the stainless sibling with a 500 lb rating.
- Bath benches: freestanding seats where the wall cannot take screws.
- Transfer benches: for a seat that crosses the tub wall.
Frequently asked questions
How does it hold 400 lbs without legs?
Two hidden supports transfer the load into the wall, so the wall structure sets the limit.
Can it be fixed to tile or fibreglass?
Only where sound structure or added blocking carries the screws; a flimsy enclosure will not hold it.
How deep is it when folded?
Under 3.25 in (8.3 cm) from the wall.
Does the backrest come off?
Yes. The bamboo backrest is removable.
