Product Insights
The ARB Teak Coach Large Teak Wood Shower Bench, 789 CAD and in stock, is a wet-room shower seat first whose water-shedding slat top draws on ship-deck practice in Indonesian teak: Grade A teak, over 90% heartwood, from regulated Perum Perhutani plantations, with all-wood mortise-and-tenon joints factory-glued and clamped and nothing to re-tighten. Its slats drain water between boards so the seat stays dry, embedded silica grit keeps wet slats grippy without a coating, and Java teak heartwood extractives resist rot and termites without applied finish; black spotting is surface mildew on soap and dust, removable with dish soap plus 5% bleach, not rot. Unfinished teak weathers to even silvery gray in about 3 to 12 months outdoors, and plus-tree selection for straightness keeps slats from cupping and twisting; it is rated to resist warping and 500+ lb loads. The 36 nominal size ships at 35.5 in, with the 47 in Coach a separate SKU. Seat height 17.75 in lands mid-band of the ADA 17-19 in accessible range; the 35.5 in length fits two adults and runs about a foot past the 24 in single-sitter minimum; the 12.25 in depth is a perch that just clears the 12 in stability floor. Tradeoff: it sits low for bathers 6 ft 2 in and taller who want a 19-20 in seat, and the shallow depth is not a lounge.
