I bought this hoping it would be easy to install compared to building a full bench in the shower I remodeled. It was super simple. I put solid blocking in the stud wall since I was starting from scratch. So I didn't have to use the anchors and was able to screw right to solid wood. When I filled the better bench with mortar I just went ahead and gave the mortar a little pitch to the front so I didn't have to worry about pitching the tiles. It worked great. It is very solid once installed. Excellent product and easy for the average amateur.

This has to be the easiest way to create a bench in a tiled shower. I'm a DIY'r and this hardly added any time to my shower install. Maybe ten or fifteen minutes for initial instal and five or ten more minutes when I had the deck mud already mixed for the pre-slope. I had intended to put up stud blocking behind the backer board to tie into, but I completely forgot. After a bit of hesitation I went ahead and installed it only into the backer board with the supplied fasteners per the instructions. The end result was solid as a rock and looks great. We tiled the top with one piece of marble tile (started with an 18" X 18") and used the same material for the front. Don't forget to angle towards the front for water drainage. I added about a 1/4 inch back to front and probably could have done a little more. The size is not really comfortable to sit on, but that was not the goal. It is a great place for my wife to rest her feet for shaving. I beleive they sell a larger size as well.

Innovis has a great video on their website to help you better understand the install process and a visual representation of what the deck mud should look like if needed.

This is a great product! We removed a one piece tub unit and wanted to replace it with a tiled shower with a seat. Being relatively handy but still amateurs, this product was perfect for us. It is incredible sturdy and looks great once the tile is on. We especially like the fact that it is a corner seat so it takes up less room and makes it easier to tile with less cuts.

I am very happy I used the manufactured "better bench" during a recent shower remodel. Although $45 seemed a bit steep when I opened the box to find the lightweight aluminum bench frame inside, the ease of installation was worth every penny. Installation was quick, easy. Once filled with mortar the bench feels very solid, very sturdy.

Since I was doing a complete gut-job on the shower I installed blocking within the wall to carry the bench. I would not be comfortable using the hollow wall hangers that come with it, and relying on cement board or lath to carry the load.

Loved it - very easy to install. Since I was doing a full bathroom remodel, I was able to put backer 2x4'' in the wall to support the seat. This made installing the screws very easy. Putting the cement on the edge of the seat was the tricky part but the instructions on how to thicken up the mud made it work out just fine. I only challenge I really had was figuring out what "deck mud" was from the instructions. Nobody at Lowes (in Colorado) seemed to recognize that terminology. I finally found a reference to it in the on-line video where they showed a bag of a recommended type of cement and I finally spotted that brand of cement at Lowes.

I needed a small bench in my already completed shower. I say this product on Amazon, and decided it looked like it would work. The instructions show (and explain) how to install in a shower still under construction (and not yet tiled), but there is a little info on retrofitting an existing shower with it. (I would recommend the manufacturer include more information on the retrofitting use of this bench, so people like me would know for sure it would work),
The installation is very easy, and sturdy, with the included fasteners and screws. I had the installation and mortar done in an afternoon. After letting the mortar set for a few days, I proceeded with the tilling and grouting, and it was ready to use.
The aluminum construction of the shelf pan is very sturdy, and I'm sure it will last as long as the shower.

We love this in our shower. It looks great. It always for easy shaving, and holds myself, wife or kids. Very sturdy and so much cheaper than the marble slab the tile guy tried to sell us. It's really very simple to install and has instruction videos associated with it to make it a snap.

I have to say, I was extremely skeptical about this bench. Having exclusively 5-star reviews and being recommended by tile pros online in various forums though, was enough to convince me to at least buy one.

Tools needed: Hammer drill with 3/8"/10mm masonry bit, silicone caulk, Phillips screwdriver, torpedo level, 1 55lb bag of shower floor mortar, steel trowel, margin trowel, and cement-mixing tools (see below). You can use a shovel or use a high-powered mixer. Again, see below. Bucket and spray bottle for water.

It's made of thin but robust aluminum alloy that is supposed to be rust-proof. It is to be mounted with the supplied hardware, which is also very robust, albeit a little fussy to install.

The screws are the same type of galvanized cement-backerboard screws used to mount Hardibacker and Durock-type CBUs. But they're long. Probably 2 1/2" or so. The anchors are very hard plastic and I ended up using 5 of the 6 included because I was able to hit at least one stud.

If your walls are flat and square, you should have no problem installing this unit. Mine were a touch out of square and since the anchors stick out a little from the wall when installed, it was a little tricky to convince the unit to line up to get all the screws in. But I managed to get them all in and tight. Be aware that if you have to (or want to) you could technically drill 1-2 holes on the long sides to have your fasteners hit a stud. I wanted to try out the anchoring system so I used most of them. This bench screwed solidly to the wall and felt extremely rigid, even before adding a speck of mortar to it. Squeeze some silicone caulk into the screw holes before anchors/screws and then again along the top exposed line of the unit and it looks to be watertight.
