This chair has changed a life. Holds and fits a 6'7", 400 pounder like a troop tank. Pay no attention to reviews that pail don't fit right and drops out and seat gap pinches or the back falls off. The only way those things could happen is if you try to use the splash guard with the bucket and it raises seat up too high. Splash guard is only used by itself over a toilet, not used when using the bucket as a bedside unit. When used bedside, insert 1 or 2 drawstring top trash bin liners inside the bucket and out through the seat hole and over the seat, put inside that 1 or 2 plastic grocery bags with the tie loops out the top too, crumple up a single sheet or two of newspaper, stuff inside the bags, dump a couple cups cheap kitty litter on the newspaper, or better still, get pine pellets from tractor supply, 10 times cheaper, lighter and more absorbent and odor control. If male, and can, use a urinal container and flush liquids, or not. Do the duty, add some more kitty litter or pine shavings (recommended), tie off the bags as needed and dispose of like a diaper bag in the trash. Works best with with 4 or 5 gallon trash bags too, got from Amazon, hard to find local. Always keep it prepped and ready for use, takes just a minute. And speaking of prepping, if a Katrina incident ever happens and you lose the bathroom facilities, this chair could mean the difference between sanitary survival and having to burn your house down due to other possible outcomes. Anyone old enough to have used an outhouse will see the immediate function of this chair, read the book about humanure. Also works great in RV's, campers, tents, hunting camps, motel travels, it folds up, no parts to loose. Very little clean up, a quick spray of Lysol keeps it fresh. Tall or short, fat or skinny, young or old, wheelchair or crutches, this can and will change your life! Also, evacuation of bowels with height adjustments possibilities of chair can alleviate many other symptomatic problems too. Every home with anyone of special needs should have this chair. Don't waste your money on any other kind, style or size, get this- it will be handed down or can be resold, will last a lifetime. Seat, lid, bucket and splash guard all replaceable if needed, and cheap. Good luck and God bless.
