> 3 dayThis is a very sturdy bench, that claims to be waterproof and suitable for outdoor use. The bench parts come very well packed. It was easy to assemble using a bit driver with Allen wrench bit ( about 20 minutes from unpack to assembled and box in recycle bin ). The provided Allen wrench would take longer and be much more difficult to complete assembly. The parts fit precisely but be aware that the two types of legs have a slight taper at the top and a countersink for the screw heads. Padded feet screw into the leg bottoms. The lower shelf adds support to the legs and i am going to attach a plastic container to the shelf with zip ties for storage. I intend to use this as a gardening bench that can be left outdoors much like lawn furniture.

Greater than one weekUPDATE MAY 2023- This bench is proving to be an excellent investment! No sign of wear or water damage, and most importantly: NO MOLD whatsoever! Its so sturdy that Ive considered getting one to use in the garden. After dealing with mold/mildew issues with several wood (bamboo, acacia, teak) shower benches, we got a plastic one. Weve had it about 5 years and it has not shown any sign of water related problems, but MAN is it ugly. It makes the whole bathroom feel a bit tacky. A lightbulb illuminated over my head after we had a TREX deck built this spring. Knowing there a several manufacturers who make outdoor furniture from a similar lumber produced in the U.S.A. using recycled plastic bottles, I figured there had to be a shower bench made using this type of lumber. Surprisingly, this is the ONLY ONE I found. It had NO reviews at the time, and wasnt Prime. Never having heard of this company, I crossed my fingers as I ordered it. Thankfully, it arrived within a reasonable time and had been nicely packaged for its travel from China. I laid out all the pieces that were included in the box: a slightly curved top, a straight shelf, 4 legs (w/levelers attached) a card with the hardware shrink wrapped to it, a fine-grit sanding block, and the instruction sheet. My photo of all the pieces has two asterisk [ * and **] footnotes to help you with assembly. Since the seat has a bit of a curve, the tops of the legs are cut at a slight angle in order to sit flush against the underside of the seat and tightly against the crossbar/frame under the seat. A quick inspection will show that this means there is a difference in the right and left (or front and back) legs. So... if the leg doesnt sit flush when you hold it in place and the holes dont line up with the threaded inserts, just move it to a different corner where it does fit. Once you have that figured out, go ahead and attach the four legs but only screw in the bolts with your hands. If it feels tight, DO NOT force it because you dont want to strip the threads. It might take a couple of attempts to get it in perfectly straight but, once you do, it will turn easily with just your fingertips. After the 8 bolts have been screwed in, then go back with the included Allen wrench/hex key and tighten them. That’s it, you are done with assembly and all you need to do is place your bench. If needed, you can adjust the little black levelers so that your bench sits perfectly still without rocking. Typing up this review took twice as long as the actual process of unpacking, unwrapping, and assembling this bench. I love how it looks and how sturdy it is. The only improvement I would suggest is adding some other color options. A weathered teak (with a silvery gray finish) is an option I believe would be very popular.

> 3 dayI ordered this to put in my new shower. I wanted teak for a spa-like look but knew I’d have to replace it every few years due to rot from the moisture. So I searched for polywood shower bench and found this. I was afraid it would look like plastic but it doesn’t unless you get very close and look hard. It must be solid polywood because it’s heavy and so sturdy! I’ve had it for a week and am very happy with this purchase. Don’t be afraid that this will seem like cheap plastic. It looks and performs like solid wood.

> 3 dayI purchased this shower stool because I fell recently, and broke my right humerus. I have balance problems due to MS and cannot use the tub/shower combo in my bathroom safely right now. It still was easy to assemble and very sturdy. It looks great in my shower and I don’t feel like it’s going to tip over when I am showering and washing my hair. It is hard to believe that it’s not wood because it certainly looks like it, even up close. The stool does not wobble on the shower floor and it is easy to wash off after showering should’ve gotten one years ago.

> 3 dayLove this for my shower. I have adirondack chairs made from the same material and they are surviving outside in the Louisiana sun, heat and humidity. I expect this bench will last a long time and requires no maintenance.
