This teak shower bench is better than I expected. I'm old and was able to assemble by myself. The tolerances of the joints that must be fit together are quite right, so patience is required. But it wasn't an obstacle that can't be overcome. It's a good thing that it fits together so tightly because it makes it very secure, stable and sturdy. It also prevents water from going into the joints. It is not a large bench, but it fits into my low and narrow bathtub perfectly. The width for sitting and the height for my legs are great for me. I measured myself before purchasing it. It is exactly what I needed. If you are a medium or small person, you should be very confident that it will work for you.
