Bill, the screws are actually not seating into the shower wall or were not in the installation I saw years ago in the factory. They are seated into a length of 2x4 behind the shower wall. That spreads the load out over a larger area in the shower wall but the wall does bear the entire load. They really should have put in a forward folding brace that would rest on the shower floor in addition to the mount they have. The wife uses the seat and uses it by sitting on it gingerly but since I am over 200 lbs., I won't use it at all.
