| Hello
I have decided to use a free standing bench in my new master bath shower. The shower will be tiled in white marble. Should I be concerned that if I choose a teak bench that there may be some staining on the white marble? There has not been a post on this forum regarding this question so I am wondering if it is a non-issue. I know there are some chrome and vinyl cushion benches available and wonder if this is a better option.
Thank you for any opinions. |

If you really need a bench can you have one built in using your shower tile? It seems that would allow more room inI the shower. Good luck! |

| Another possibility would be a folding teak seat: These are available from several different makers. |

| I don't think teak would be an issue at all. Redwood or cedar, possibly. But not teak. |

| Thank you everyone. I appreciate you taking the time to give some feedback. I prefer the freestanding as opposed to a wall mount or built in. I like the flexibility of a free standing. I will give the teak a try. |

| I have had a teak seat on top of a crema marfil bench for years in the bathroom. No staining issues at all. I sand and waterlox the bench once a year. It looks new again :) |

| We have a freestanding teak shower bench on a very light beige porcelain tile floor and it's been a non-issue. Bathroom is now 2 years old. |
