I love the look of this teak wood shower bench. It came fully assembled and ready to use. It had a few dings on the corners,but no roughness. It seems to be oiled or tinted so I wiped it down with orange oil to clean any bleed/ residue,and to give it further protection from the shower. It's nice and weighty, thick and sturdy, the foot print isn't to wide. This bench is a great value.
