So much to like.  Design wise, the direction of the slats on the top are different, as well as the overall modern design that will fit in any room.  The color is rich and shows off the natural grain of the wood.  The bench is very substantial … and, did I say no assembly!  I don’t use it inside my shower so I cannot comment about the bench used with water.  This item sat in my cart for awhile as I sat on the fence.  I’m so glad I finally made the purchase.  I think you will be too.
