Beautiful and solid. It's got a good weight to it which is what I wanted for my new, large shower because I needed something to rest my foot on when shaving, or pumicing my heels! Water slides right off of it. I did need to put a thin plastic wedge under the middle leg in the front to keep it from tipping slightly forward since my shower floor slopes down toward the drain. I have no regrets and have recommended this bench to several of my friends. Very attractive, not cheap looking.
