I need to use it for regular showering, but each time I have to check the plastic screws under the seat as I've found that they become slightly loose between showers, causing the legs to become slightly loose. On one occasion I forgot to check these finger tightening screws, the legs became a bit loose whilst I was sitting on it, which was a bit disconcerting. Be aware of this if you have balance issues like me, otherwise, the stool is a most useful accessory in my shower cubicle.
