Setup
Assembly and Height Adjustment
The Homecraft Corner Shower Stool is designed for minimal assembly, primarily focusing on adjusting the leg height to suit the user's needs.
- Unpack: Carefully remove the shower stool from its packaging.
- Determine Desired Height: Sit on a stable chair of a comfortable height. Measure the distance from the floor to the back of your knee. This measurement can serve as a guide for the stool's seat height. The stool is adjustable from 17 inches to 21 inches.
- Adjust Legs:
- Locate the push-pins on each leg of the stool.
- Press the push-pin inward and slide the lower leg section up or down to the desired height.
- Ensure the push-pin fully snaps into one of the adjustment holes.
- Repeat this process for all three legs, ensuring they are adjusted to the same height setting to maintain stability.
- Verify Stability: Before placing the stool in the shower, gently press down on the seat and check for any wobbling. All three legs must be evenly set and firmly on the ground.

Operating Instructions
Using your Homecraft Corner Shower Stool safely and effectively:
- Placement: Position the stool firmly in a corner of your shower or bath. Ensure all three non-slip rubber feet are in full contact with the shower floor.
- Entering the Shower: Carefully enter the shower area. Use grab bars if available for additional support.
- Sitting Down: Turn around and back up to the stool until your legs touch the seat. Slowly lower yourself onto the seat, using your arms for support if needed. Ensure you are centered and balanced on the seat.
- During Showering: Remain seated while showering. Avoid leaning excessively or standing on the stool.
- Exiting the Shower: Carefully push up from the seat, using your legs and arms for support. Once standing, carefully exit the shower area.
Always exercise caution when entering and exiting the shower, especially on wet surfaces.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Homecraft Corner Shower Stool and ensure continued safe operation.
- Cleaning: Clean the stool regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the vinyl seat and frame finish.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the stool for:
- Loose or damaged push-pins on the legs.
- Cracks, tears, or excessive wear on the vinyl seat pad.
- Damage or hardening of the rubber non-slip feet.
- Signs of rust or corrosion on the frame.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the stool in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
If any part of the stool appears damaged or worn, discontinue use immediately and contact customer support for assistance.
