I am very disappointed with this product.  I have it less than one year and am ready to toss it.  Even though it's described as bamboo I really doubt the veracity of this claim.  About a month after I started using it the finish started to fade.  It is a magnet for mold, even though bamboo is supposedly mold resistant.  I have bought and used other shower benches and while I know they don't last forever, this purchase was really disappointing.
