A built-in shower bench was not an option for our RR renovation, but this was the better option, IMO. It disappears visually and is very strong! Can hold 350 lbs easily. Easy to clean, a little heavier than expected, but the drain hole on top is also a handle! No discoloration since getting it about 6 months ago. Acrylic is truly the best choice for a moiat environment. People putting bad reviews for moldy wood benches in wet showers dont seem to understand how microbes work... get this bench!
