I was very pleasantly surprised at quality and ease of putting this bench together. Great value and shipping was fast too. The stain on this bench perfectly matched my dark cherry wood vanity cabinets. I've only had it for a month, but so far so good. The water just beads up on the wood surface.  I use a squeegee to get rid of access. I never had a bench in the shower before and I'm amazed how convenient it is to have one.  I highly recommend it, and it comes in different sizes.
