This bench is the perfect size to sit along my vanity. I will use it as a prop for my feet when putting on lotion and seat when drying hair. I will not use it in the shower. The packaging was good, except that the screws had escaped the plastic bag and were rolling all over the place. With the exception of 1 rough spot on one of the handles, the bench arrived undamaged.  It took about 45 minutes to assemble by myself. The instructions were clear.
