This Teak shower seat came completely put together & packed very well. The wood is solid, Not a Venere, & very smooth. Nice feel. They even paid attention to detail on underside that’s not seen. This seat is heavy, well made & sturdy. The adjustable solid rubber is 1/2” thick not hollow & goes into a threaded metal sleeve not just the wood. It also came with information about the company & how to care for the wood to make it last. I Absolutely love the color & craftsmanship. It’s definitely built to last!
