1. An apparatus comprising:
a mounting member; a primary deck pivotally coupled to the mounting member; and one or more telescoping primary legs pivotally coupled to the primary deck and configured to be moved between (i) a first position in which the one or more primary legs are substantially parallel to the primary deck, and (ii) a second position in which the one or more primary legs are substantially perpendicular to the primary deck; where the mounting member is configured to be coupled to a wall bordering a bathtub above an upper rim of the bathtub such that the primary legs, in their second position, can extend downward from the bottom of the primary deck to a floor of the bathtub to support the primary deck.
