Best seller
Built around the character of teak, this shower bench is hand-finished so the wood still looks and feels like wood.
Only the wooden shower bench is sold.
Not included: cushions, bath mats, towels, toiletries, and surrounding shower fixtures; loose mounting or installation hardware; other non-wood accessories; decorative objects and styling props.
Wood grain, knots, edge contours, and color naturally vary from piece to piece. Product images show the expected character rather than an identical grain pattern.
These products are not waterproof. Their durable wood-and-finish construction is designed to handle ordinary accidental spills when liquid is wiped up promptly. Avoid standing water, soaking, submersion, and harsh cleaners.
SKU: MPK-SB-04575-01
Exact dimensions for each size are listed on the option you select above. Most pieces arrive fully assembled; wall-mounted designs include hardware and a template. Measure doorways and stair turns before ordering — most pieces pass a standard 32-inch doorway.
Care: wipe with a soft, dry cloth and oil the grain once or twice a year to keep the surface nourished.
Your piece ships free in a protective wooden crate. Freight delivery comes with a scheduled window and tracking; white-glove service — carried inside, placed, packaging removed — is available at checkout.
Returns: 30 days from payment. Pieces need to be unused and in original condition — we arrange the freight pickup and walk you through repacking. Damaged or defective on arrival? We repair, replace or refund at no cost. Made-to-order pieces can be changed or cancelled while the build has not started.
Still deciding
The piece
The curved seat and the shelf beneath it were drawn as one form, proportioned so a towel sits within reach of a seated hand. An artisan shapes the solid teak by hand and stops there — no sealer, no film to peel in the steam. Teak's own oils and silica are why steam rooms and ship decks have trusted this wood for a century.
Everything else in a bathroom is cold to the touch at six in the morning — tile, glass, chrome. This is the warm surface, the same wood as the steam room at the gym, and it turns sitting down in the shower from a concession into the point. Years of daily steam in, it is still the best seat in the house.
9:30 on a weeknight, end of a long day. The teak seat holds the towel and the glass of wine while the water runs hot and the mirror fogs. Ten quiet minutes in the one room nobody follows you into — the bench is the spa part.
Tuesday bath night: rinse cup on the shelf, towels on the seat, a parent perched through two rounds of shampoo negotiations. The teak takes every splash, then dries itself overnight with the fan running. Nobody babies it, which was the point of buying teak.
Fourth of July weekend it moves to the outdoor shower — sunscreen and sunglasses on the shelf, wet swimsuits over the seat, chlorine and sun all afternoon. The wood that shrugs off steam indoors does not blink at a summer outside.
Every piece is made to order, and dimensions vary from one to the next. Need a different size for your space? Tell us your measurements and we'll build it to fit.

Tight, straight, even grain flows across the curved seat and down the sides — and unlike tile or metal, the wood stays grippy underfoot and warm against bare skin when everything else in the room is wet and cold.
Teak carries its own natural oils — the reason it belongs near water. We hand-rub more into the seat and shelf; after a hot shower the faint, leathery scent of real teak is the wood introducing itself.
At roughly 700 kilograms per cubic meter, kiln-dried for twenty days before shaping, the seat stays flat and steady through years of daily steam and 90-degree bathroom swings — and it will not splinter wet-worn the way cedar can.
Left to weather, teak turns a refined silver-grey — a paper-thin surface change, not decay. A light sanding and fresh oil bring the seat back to gold anytime; in a fan-vented bathroom it mostly just deepens toward amber.
Boards are pulled one at a time by selectors with thirty years at the stacks, matched by tone across seat and shelf. Stock with twist, checks, or dull figure never makes the cut.
The organic silhouette is traced from workshop templates, then bandsawn slightly proud of the line — leaving material for the handwork that softens every curve.
Seat, shelf, and every rounded transition are sanded by hand through five grits until the bench feels right against bare skin — the only test that matters here.
Oil goes on in thin coats, buffed between each. The maker loads the seat, checks level and stability on a wet workshop floor, and signs the bench out.
One maker follows each piece from rough plank to the final coat of oil, and signs off before it is crated.
The Timber Vintique workshop
No two boards alike
Choose white-glove and the crew brings the piece inside, places it in the room, and removes every bit of packaging.
Each piece travels in its own wooden crate with corner protection, built to cross the country without a scuff.
You get a delivery appointment and tracking — not a truck that shows up unannounced.
30 days from payment. If it isn't right — unused, in original condition — we arrange the freight pickup. Made-to-order terms are stated up front.
