Our shower is big, not big as you imagine, but really big. As a result we needed a place to put our towels for a quick grab, store some shower necessities, and of course sit when drying in between the toes. This bench is very well made, sturdy, and looks good in our really big shower. It comes ready right out of the well secured shipping box. Even FedEx couldn’t do harm (especially with all the Fragile labels plastered everywhere). Very happy and would highly recommend it.
