Q: How much of a ledge does this item need on each side? That seems to be the only negative review issues.

I had to return mine. I have a pretty regular tub, but I would say you need at least 2.5" of clearance on the wall side of the tub and my tub has only about 1". Fortunately, I had also ordered a stool and both were delivered the same day. The stool will just have to serve whichever shower or bathtub my son wants to use.

Q: Can you use this with a claw foot tub?

Yes. As long as it does not have an overly curved profile so it mightn't sit level. The bench braces against each inside lip of the tub so that it is stable and stays in place. But it is easily removed or loosened to reposition. It is very sturdy. I feared that the edge of my tub where it meets the tiled wall wouldn't offer enough ledge for the bench to rest upon but the way the bracing slides/adjusts made it work like a dream.

Q: Would this work with sliding glass doors installed on the bathtub? We would keep open during use..

There is not usually enough room to sit down and swing legs over the tub edge if the sliding doors are still in place. I think it would not be safe to use it with sliding doors.

Q: Can legs be ordered to make this a bench

It's not designed to accept legs but if someone had a wide enough tub and was clever they could probably figure out some way to add legs. However, there are benches with legs designed to fit in a tub. They are also sold on Amazon.
