This teak bench is perfect for my walk-in shower. I have had a total hip replacement AND just dislocated my hip a couple of weeks ago. I really needed a bench but wanted to get something pretty as well as functional...and this fits the bill. Unlike other benches with wider openings between slats, the slats are very close making it more comfortable to sit on. The legs have large rubber pads that are adjustable, which I needed because of the tile. I really love this bench and foresee having it for many years.
