Troubleshooting
Bench is unstable or moves during use.
Ensure all legs are adjusted to the exact same height and locked securely. Verify that the suction cups are clean, firmly pressed onto a smooth, flat tub floor, and that the height difference between inside and outside the tub is within the recommended limit (3.9''). Check for any damage to the suction cups.
Suction cups are not adhering properly.
Clean both the suction cups and the bathtub floor thoroughly to remove any soap scum, dirt, or mineral deposits. Ensure the bathtub floor is completely dry before placing the bench. If cups are old or damaged, they may need replacement.
Height adjustment is difficult.
Ensure you are pressing the adjustment pins fully. If there is debris in the adjustment holes, clean them out. Try gently wiggling the leg while pressing the pin.
Assembly seems difficult without tools.
Review the assembly instructions carefully, ensuring each component clicks or slides firmly into place. Most connections are designed to snap or slide together securely. Ensure you are aligning the parts correctly before applying pressure.
