What’s the purpose of this little bench in our shower?

A built-in shower bench is a seat that is framed right into the shower wall and floor, which is then waterproofed and tiled.

These are some reasons you should consider installing a built-in shower bench:

Provides a foot rest for leg-shaving, exfoliating and foot scrubs (it’s a lifesaver)

Can provide extra surface for toiletries, sponges, and more

Provides a sitting option, especially important in case of mobility issues or injuries

If you have a steam shower, you will definitely want a shower bench
