The Original Asia 18" Teak Shower Bench

The craftsmanship of this bench is top-notch, and it feels incredibly sturdy and durable. The teak wood has a beautiful, natural finish that not only enhances the look of my bathroom but also adds a touch of luxury to my shower experience. The bench is perfectly sized—spacious enough to sit comfortably, yet compact enough to fit neatly in my shower without taking up too much space. I appreciate how water-resistant the teak wood is, as it dries quickly and doesn’t show signs of wear or damage even after repeated use. Overall, this shower bench has exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s a high-quality product that combines both functionality and style. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a durable and elegant addition to their bathroom!

I recommend it if you wish to sit in the shower

I hesitated but now it has arrived, I have no regrets. Even the box and packing are as superior to normal boxes, as the stool is to other stools (thick solid cardboard, interior foam molding and box side adhesive cushions; rattle free). This really stands out. It comes disassembled but the 6 long hex screws are easy to fit with the provided alan key, though I had a longer one of my own to speed things up even more. It is very stable and has reassuring 'heft' and finish. The fittings, overall thickness and density, are as you'd exect at this price point. I'd think an annual teakoiling will be sensible but it needs nothing the first year. This is a very substantial, solid teak, curved-not-molded elegant seat, water resistant, suitable for shower rooms (useful to clean your feet, shower safely or sit and dry your hair). It's easy to lift but heavy at 8kg (17.5 lbs). The 4 heavy duty rubber feet are +/- 10mm height adjustable. An investment that will last. It shows its quality at a glance. It'll suit a (larger) shower, wet room or even a muddy porch. You should consider the space availble carefully: The 300x450mm (12x18") seat takes more space that you might instinctively think for a mere stool. It'd not be ideal to sit on it's short side due to its curve. At 45cm (18") high it is slightly higher than shorter people might find easy for long sits. RECOMMENDED

And a beautiful design that feels very solid and stable. I’d been hesitant about buying this, as I wondered if it would be as good as the pictures. It is every bit as good and I wasn’t disappointed. I’m very happy- it’s lovely.

Muito bem embalado. Montagem simples

I love everything about this product. First, the aesthetics - it is beautifully designed in an old Japanese style. It fits perfectly with my Asian decor and Japanese soaking tub. Second, the quality. This bench is very sturdy and I expect will last for years. It weighs 16 pounds, assembled. Thick teak legs, top and crossbar. No marks or defects on the surface anywhere. Nice color wood that looks a little aged, but has a bright new patina. Third, the details. Designed for good water runoff which will add to the product life. There are large rubber pads on the bottom of the legs, so you can make adjustments if needed to level it. Nice touch. The screws are in recessed holes so you can’t see them after assembly. Again, a nice detail. 4th, easy assembly. Took me less than 15 mins. Clear instructions. Only six screws to screw in. 5th, Good value. It lists for $149, but occasionally goes on sale for $108. That’s a great price for a high-quality item. 6th, outstanding customer service. There was a minor problem on one leg, which I would not call a defect - just something that might affect its durability. As shown in my last picture, one of the holes on one leg happened to fall exactly on a crack between 2 boards on the leg. I wondered if that might cause the leg to split apart a little after years of service and exposure to water. When I called the company, they were very understanding and readily agreed to send a replacement part. They sent it out promptly the next day. So that makes it perfect. Also, notably, my call was months beyond the return period and they did not make that an issue. They didn’t have to do anything, but customer service is a big priority for this company, so they put the customer first. How refreshing is that ?!! 6th. It’s very sturdy. It’s a bench so it’s made for seating, not standing. But I got it in part so I could stand on it to help get into a deep soaking tub. It works for that purpose. Just be sure your weight is centered on the middle of the bench, not the sides. Here’s one tip for assembly: when starting each screw, if it seems snug - do not force it. Instead wiggle the screw a little side to side until it finds its groove. Then you can easily hand tighten it about half way. Then, use the tool to tighten about 3/4 of the way. I recommend not tightening any Screw all the way until all of them are partly in. That way you can wiggle the parts a little, if needed, to fit snuggly in all places. Then slowly finish screwing in tge screws. Be careful not to overtighten (just hand tighten per the instructions) because overtightening could strip the top of the screw or the wood. Re-tighten again, if needed, after 2 weeks of use. So to sum up, this bench is beautiful, sturdy, very well made, easy to assemble, and a great price for the high quality of the product. And also, thanks for the good customer service. I shopped around a lot before second on this one. I’m glad I did. I think you’ll be happy with anything you buy from this company.

Devo dire la verità, ero un po dubbioso anche per il prezzo che non è tanto basso (150,00 euro) ma appena aperto il pacco e toccato con mano non ho avuto più nessun dubbio sulla qualità di questo sgabello, robustissimo e bellissima lavorazione del legno. Esteticamente molto bello per la linea orientaleggiante e molto solido, materiali di qualità e facilissimo da montare. Dentro la confezione ho trovato un voucher con lo sconto del 10% sul prossimo acquisto (rilasciato dal produttore e non da Amazon). Che dire altro se non che sono pienamente soddisfatto. Per i tempi di consegna di Amazon la solita valutazione fino alla noia... impeccabili.
