> 24 hourIn a world of knock down veneered chip board furniture, this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. When you first open the box it’s evident. This sustainably harvested wood is solid, heavy, and looks great. Let me say that again, solid wood, The seat is a full 2” thick slatted, curved form of solid teak. It looks so much better than the veneered (pardon me) junk sold as tables and cabinets with veneer over MDF or whatever substrate. The stainless steel hardware is a uniform size for all connections, ensuring ease of assembly, and strength. It took about 10 minutes to assemble, and it was easy enough a 7 year old would have no issues. And the proportions look great. They are spot on for good design. The rubber leveling feet complete the design. If I were to custom commission this piece with cost no object, I don’t know what I would change. And no, I don’t work there. I just appreciate good design and good manufacturing.

> 24 hourVery nice, very solid. Feels like a quality piece. I just needed it for shaving my legs, but this is something you could actually use as a pice of furniture. Please follow someone elses advice on here and treat with teak oil. I bought a bottle at the same time and treated the bench before putting it in my shower. The water beads up and rolls right off. I expect it will be around for many years.

> 24 hourI only give five star ratings to products that are better than I expected. The quality of this bench is amazing. It is rock solid, and all of the wood parts are nicely finished. Assembly was clear and easy, but a bit tedious. There was no design flaw here; the screw locations and angles meant that you could only rotate the supplied allen wrench about a third of the way before having to reposition it. It adds a touch of elegance to the shower.

> 24 hourOkay, maybe 4 stars. It would be 5 if they sent it assembled. The Good: Looks great. I use this outside in my Zen Garden (I do cover most of the time when not in use.) Has a very stylish, sleek and sturdy look. It stands up to moisture. I have a similar one (by the same manufacturer,) I use in my shower/steamer, and it does not get wiped down after every use and it has not shown any discoloration, drying, rotting, whatever without oil or treatment of any kind. Maybe down the road I will use some form of treatment. I have had that one for about six months. Whole heartedly recommend because it looks good and is made of very good quality wood. The Bad: Putting this particular style together is difficult and frustrating. Some of the screws/bolts go in at an angle and the area directly out from the pre-drilled hole is very short. This is where you put the Allen wrench in to turn, so it is very tight. Also, the two holes dont always align so there is a further issue of getting it in straight and tight. The bots going in are of not the highest quality. To assist with insertion, I tried to use an electric screwdriver with an Allen adapter, but because of the positioning of the holes, the adapter slipped a few times and stripped the slot on the bolt, so that had to stop before it was totally stripped away. The same thing happened when doing by had with provided wrench (again, because of the awkward angle.) Listen I strongly recommend this item for all the good things I have listed, the 3 stars is as much to give the manufactured notice of customer issues and things they may do to remedy them. The piece is really quite nice for the shower, or your Zen Garden (once it is assembled.)
