Comments about Teak Meditation Bench:

This is a beautiful piece for a bathroom, especially as a shower stool. The seat is finished so smoothly that you just want to run your hands along it. It is as sturdy as i had hoped and is compact enough for a small bathroom. It's also great as a vanity seat. Just lovely!

My husband just came home from the hospital and is unable to stand in the shower. This bench has been quite a help to us. It enables him to take a shower without my assistance. And, besides, it can be used on the patio or anyshere you wish to place it. Very attractive and comfortable. A great size too.

The bench fits nicely in our new shower and adds a spa touch. The wood is beautiful and I do plan to use teak oil on it to preserve its beauty. It is narrow enough to be out of the way when not in use.

Very excellent quality and beautiful.

Comments about Teak Meditation Bench:

Got this stool for our large walk in shower. Nice quality and very sturdy. Applied teal oil to it from Home Depot to help preserve it. Lovely wood! Only complaint is the open slats in seat are a little rough on a bare bottom. Could be improved if narrower opening. Placing a towel on it improves the situation. Other than that, it's great! Highly recommend.

It is used to sit on while applying cosmetics and may be used in the shower instead of the metal/plastic stool we now have. It is more stable. I would like to oil the wood to preserve the natural color before it is usedin the shower but I am not sure what to use.

Comments about Teak Meditation Bench:

I bought this bench based on its great Asian looks, but appreciate it even more for its comfort, sturdiness and practical use in my shower. It brings back memories of the relaxing hot springs baths in Japan, where bathing is preceded by a shower from the comfort of a small traditional stool. This stool captures that aura with the added benefit of being sized for Americans.

Just perfect!
