I put this in the corner of my shower so I can sit and scrub or just let the water run over me. After each shower, I tilt it or shake it to get excess water off and it's been great with no signs of problems over the past couple months. I also brush on a teak wood oil once a month for good measure, to make sure the wood stays moist, repels water better and keeps its color. I have no complaints and recommend this product.
