Product description
Natural teak construction: The seat is crafted from Grade-A teak wood; grain and shade vary between pieces. A water-resistant protective coating preserves the timber against steam and humidity while retaining the warm natural look of teak.
Included hardware and fit: The package contains the folding teak seat, a reinforced bracket with 16" screw spacing to match standard U.S. wall studs, and a selection of Allen and Phillips head screws so common household tools will work for installation.
Durable frame and capacity: The support hardware is heavy-duty 304 stainless steel, designed to deliver a secure mounting and support up to 400 lb. The hinge mechanism is engineered to lock firmly in the down position and fold flat against the wall when not in use.
Comfort and safety features: The bench has an ergonomic profile, smoothly rounded edges, and a non-slip finish on the teak surface for stable, comfortable seating. The hinge is designed to be pinch-resistant and the overall construction minimizes wobble with proper installation.
Space-saving and versatile use: When folded, the seat lies nearly flush with the wall to free floor space. It is suitable for showers, saunas, locker rooms, entryways, or hallways where a compact fold-down bench is desired.
Mounting requirements and warranty: This heavy-duty seat must be anchored to wall studs, solid concrete, or masonry; it cannot be installed directly onto unsupported hollow drywall. Fully opened dimensions: 20"L × 17"W × 11"H. Folded against wall: 20"L × 2"W × 17"H. The product is backed by a 3-year factory support policy.
Pros
- Solid 400 lb capacity with 304 stainless steel support
- Warm, durable Grade-A teak with waterproof finish
- Fold-flat, pinch-resistant hinge saves space
Cons
- Requires studs or masonry for secure mounting
- Natural wood variations may differ from photos
- Hinge may smooth out only after repeated use
VerdictA sturdy, attractive solution for accessible bathing: solid teak seating on a heavy-duty stainless frame that supports up to 400 lb, folds flat when not in use, and ships with the necessary fasteners for stud-mounted installation. Excellent comfort and longevity for bathrooms, saunas, or locker rooms, provided it is mounted to a solid backing.

Good hardware and attractive teak
I pre-marked and drilled the top holes, then supported the seat to mark the rest. Plastic anchors worked fine and the hex-head screws were easier to tighten. The teak finish completes the shower nicely.

Satisfied with the finish
Rich brown tone, very sturdy, and I appreciate that it folds up. Fits well in our remodeled shower.

No regrets — safer showering
Picked this teak model for value and liked the color once it arrived. Contractor installed it; after several weeks of use we all find it indispensable and much safer than balancing to rinse feet.

Comfortable and secure during recovery
I was homebound after knee surgery and had a handyman mount this. It made showering safe, comfortable, and attractive. I weigh 270 lb and it feels rock-solid. Finding studs was a bit fiddly, but a pro handled it and it was worth the effort.
