I am a recent amputee. The shower bench in my newly installed walk in shower was not serving me well. I now use the built in bench to hold my shampoo, body wash, etc. my bench sits between the built in seat and the shower controls. It allows for a 360* swivel allowing easy access to everything I need. The product is very strong and readily accommodates my 3x frame. Assembly couldn’t have been easier. I believe this product is a stellar value. I don’t think you could find a superior product.
