Try Quantum, pricey but good.

I use one like #4 on the nurse's spinlife link. It has held up great so far. It seems to be a lil more minimal than the others.

the quantum is awesome looking and looks like the best but its way too expensive for me to get right now. i need one in the $100 range.

Amanda, the one you have, when u say minimal than others, what do u mean by that? i want something that does not stick out of the tub very far because my new bathroom isnt big at all, and so thats what im looking for and also comfort and padding too.

thanks everyone for your input

Josh S.

That is what I meant. It dosen't seem to be as *BAM* SHOWER BENCH!!!!! I live in an apartment also. My bathroom isn't the biggest in the world. So, the less room any equipment takes up, the better.
