Bamboo Shower Bench

I received this very attractive looking stool today and assembled it right away. As an ex-carpenter/cabinetmaker, I must say I am completely in awe of the quality of this product. The design and machining of the pieces is flawless, the construction sturdy, and assembly straightforward (but READ the instructions!) As I assembled the bench I was up-close and personal with each component, and just kept sighing to myself with satisfaction. Items on Amazon can have greatly varying levels of quality. Too many people have the misguided prejudice that if something comes from China it is of low or mediocre quality. Nothing could be further from the truth! All levels of quality, from very economical, functional items to the best of the best arrive to our shores from China. This item is absolutely top quality, and at its price an exceptional value for the money. It is sad to look in the crystal ball and wonder how many great items like this will become impossible to get in the United States because of ignorant xenophobic protectionism that restrains trade. If you are considering a well made wooden stool, for the shower or anywhere else in your house, BUY THIS while you still can!!! Assembly note: earlier I advised to actually read the instructions when putting this together. It is simple to assemble, but it is imperative that you note a few important things: There are four legs- two each of "C" and "D" (these are carefully labeled with stickers.) Note the Diagram and where the two styles of legs get positioned at the initial end of the stool. It *is* important that you comply with the diagram. (if you take a peek at the receiving groove in the leg that supports the middle shelf, you will see that on one edge it is squarish, and the other rounded. THAT is what makes the difference between style C & style D. One you loosely fasten the first two legs using the sturdy machine screws, note that the two C legs are diagonally opposite each other and the two D legs are diagonally opposite each other. Start by getting everything properly in place before progressive tightening the machine screws working around the inverted stool (much as you progressively tighten the lug nuts on a car wheel) When you are done you will see what I mean about the high quality of this item! Enjoy!

It was well packaged and easy to assemble. Sturdy and in general seems well made.I bought this to use as a shower bench.Easy assembly and very sturdy, fits the corner of my shower. It is a beautiful chair it was fairly easy to put together and it's comfortable. The chair is just to always keep it as dry as I can if you take care of your bamboo chair it will last a very long time it's perfect.I highly recommend this product.

Excellent! Very sturdy and easy to assemble. Bamboo, so it's water resistant.

Perfect size for shaving legs or sitting down and relaxing. However, I noticed it starting to turn black on the top all of a sudden. I then flipped it over to find it full of black mold. I’ve had it about 2 months, clean my shower every week, and allow it to properly air dry between uses. Not sure how it happened but just beware and clean it very frequently.

Not just a pretty face, this attractive stool is very stable and trustworthy for my elderly husband's shower! Patricia Hart McMillan, author, Christmas at Designers' Homes Across America, available amazon.com

Rotted. It is not waterproof, even though they say its been coated to be waterproof. Not a good option for inside the shower. Its now falling apart (not at the hardware, but the wood seat itself).

I did a shower to tub conversion with white subway tile and matte black fixtures. I only installed one small shelf and wanted a bench to hold bigger items and to shave my legs. This was the perfect addition. It brings a sense of luxury to an already beautiful new shower. It was a little tricky putting together as the identifying stickers were put on the wrong legs, but once I figured that out, it was relatively simple to put together.

Great small bench for a shower. You can sit on it and it will hold an adult. The color is black.

Es un poco chico pero buena compra

Perfect little sturdy bench for our bathroom.

Es muy muy fácil de armar, es bonito, el tamaño es perfecto, luce muy bien, llegó en perfectas condiciones.

Es muy hermoso, bien terminado, fácil de armar, lo único tal vez pudiera ser un poco mas grande, pero para espacios pequeños está bien.

Es demasiado pequeño, tiene poca altura
