The wood is holding up in the shower, the glue that was holding the seat did not, I will have to fix the seat.

Stool assembly was easy; took about 10 minutes. Be careful to select the correct size dowel for the correct set of holes. There are 4 dowels in 2 sizes. The stool comes with a small tube of glue which is convenient. The instructions do not specify gluing the wood screw caps but it is required since they fall out and are not press fit. Overall construction seems solid when completed. Nice finish too. I hope the stool stands up to the wet environment of the shower

FALSE ADVERTISING! There is no teak used in the construction of this stool. Read the product description "All pieces made of rubber wood." Rubber Wood comes from rubber tree plantations. It is not a very durable wood and will not hold up to moisture like teak.

We love our new Teak bench for our shower. It was very simple to put together and all the parts were actually there for you. We have been using our bench for about a month now. The only problem there has been with the bench is a small crack in the wood on the top of the seat. I did not notice this crack when putting the bench together, but it's small and you can't really see it unless you are paying close attention. It fits the purpose for which is was purchased. Thanks Amazon.

I bought this "teak" stool back in 2009, when the word teak was in the product title. This stool is definitely not made of teak. After only a couple uses in the shower, the varnish (or laminate, or fake finish) started flaking off of the wood. I now have a flaking, crumbling, cheap soft wood stool that I originally thought was teak. I'm glad they changed the product name but I feel completely ripped off. A real teak stool would have lasted for many years.

I purchased this shower stool as a 2009 Christmas gift for my wife for use in our newly renovated master bath. I mistakenly believed the stool was made of teak since that was in the name of the product. At first it looked great and was easy to assemble. However, after just 2 months, the corner joints began separating and the thin varnish is now peeling - see actual pictures above. Apparently, this is not real teak wood, nor is it constructed properly. Hopefully, Amazon or the manufacturer will accept our return and refund our purchase price. We intend to replace it with another apparently better quality teak stool [ASIN:B003521AFO Solid Teak Stool].

UPDATE - I returned the product and Amazon has agreed to refund $54.67 (about 80%), with which I am satisfied. We ordered and received the Solid Teak Stool by: AQUA ART ENTERPRISES, and this appeares to be REAL teak, well built and good quality. Thank you AMAZON !
