NRS Folding Shower Seat with Legs, Back and Arms
Our verdict
The NRS M53370 is listed at 190kg on its product page but 160kg in its own instructions, so buyers above 160kg should treat it as a 160kg seat.
Best for: users up to 160kg who want a backrest and arms and have room for a seat that sits 175mm off the wall when folded.
Not for: anyone between 160kg and 190kg relying on the product page figure, or walls of doubtful strength given the 6.3kg seat weight.
Based on the maker's published documents. We have not physically tested this product.

Where the maker’s own documents disagree
The product page’s specification table says “Maximum user weight: 190kg (30st)”. The NRS user instructions for M53370 and M53540 (issue M53370-UI-5, dated 02-06-2021) say “The maximum user weight for this product is 160kg (25st)”. We list 160kg. The same page gives two folded depths: the description says the seat “only projects from the wall by 166mm (6.5″)”, the specification table says “Folded Projection: 175mm (7″)”. We list 175mm. The page also says “every NRS product is guaranteed for 2 years”, while the instructions say NRS will “guarantee this product for a period of 12 months”. We list 12 months. One dealer we checked, Manage at Home, lists 190kg; another, Mobility 2 You, lists 160kg.
