Purchased this for my husband to use in the steam shower and he loves it! It's the perfect size for comfortable sitting and looks great in the shower. My only concern was it had a very unpleasant wet wood odor for a day or so that disappeared after it dried out again. Although the instructions received with the bench implied it was already treated for water resistance, I'm going to treat it with teak oil before the next use. Hopefully that will resolve the issue.
