Does anyone know if this is a teak seat or some other type of wood? Seems teak is the best for wet, bathroom type conditions.

Looks like actual teak to me, or an extremely good imitation...definitely not plastic or composite.

Actually, it isn't wood at all. It is a heavy plastic. I was very relieved to see that it wasn't real wood. There is no "upkeep" on this seat, other than rinsing it off. The metal is high quality stainless. I absolutely love it!

Amazon asked me to comment on your question because I purchased this item over a year ago. I just looked at it again... the material used looks like wood, but it can't splinter you. Is is a sealed material, and has held up extremely well. The seat is great and I would highly recommend it. It looks like a cherry colored wood, but today so many materials look and feel like something they are not!

I don't know if it is teak or not. It has a clear coat on the wood and has held up well in a shower/steam shower for a year now.

The lid is a bit sturdier than a standard plastic toilet lid. I have sat on mine but for a very short time. I wouldn't recommend longer. It's plastic, not wood.

Hi Susan, The seat is used by my elderly dad and his caregiver gives him a shower. He has a removable shower head so she can direct the water for the shower, not sure how she gets around the curtain issue. I would think you could cut a section of shower curtain out where the chair is and then pull the curtain closed enough to cover the part of the seat near the edge of the tub so the water would fall back in the tub and not the floor.

It is a beautiful piece and I am very happy with it; however, I do not use mine in the shower. I use it as a seat and place to store towels next to my shower. It is made out of genuine teak so I am sure it would last if used in the shower.

Seat has a nice smooth finish and is very sturdy, but don't know if it's natural wood. It's worth the money.

I use it in the shower. No problems at all and teak withstands water, soap and shampoo. There are teak cleaners and teak oil for maintenance, but I have never had to use them. Most likely if you used it poolside with sun exposure then you might need to clean and oil. Also withstands saltwater, just in case you ever wanted to know.

I didn't see any warnings on the box. The chairs have a clear finish, so they have had a finish applied that I imagine is made of chemicals. It could be water-based but of course I don't know from looking at it. Also, the seat is made from laminated plywood and there is glue used in making plywood, that again is probably made of chemicals.

I really like mine in a bathroom. Hadn't thought of putting it outside. I wonder if it would rust or leave a mark on your house- like a rust stain or something else. It's so pretty. Too bad the description didn't state whether or not it could be used outside. LM from Md

I believe it is teak wood....I left it outside for a year now and it is in good shape I do think it would be wise to varnish it or clean it before each season starts....The only issue I had is that the hammock itself is very narrow ok for a kid but for a grown up it is tricky to stay in tact and swing.

This seat is used on a toilet in a utility room that my husband uses when he is working outside so esthetics isn't a big consideration. He used a small thin piece of ridged rubber molding that he happened to have in his workshop. He cut a piece that fit between the bolts and the toilet bowl. He used it only on one side and it was enough to keep the toilet seat from moving. I think the fact that the piece is rubber also helps because it doesn't slide against the smooth porcelain bowl. This solution really keeps the seat in place very well.

I don't know the type of wood but it is a beautiful piece of furniture. The top is a creamy beige/gold color. Subtle color, not knock your socks off. Works well in our bath. Sinks are nice & deep.

This chair has a seat like a toilet, but to be stable you would have to sit on the lid of the toilet. A chair for the tub is smaller and is made just for bathing and/or shower depending on size. I would think that it would be more comfortable for you or anyone to use a regular chair made for the tub. Just look up bath chairs. But if you so not want to to do that, try the toilet, basically same design, just has a pail and is a toilet first, and if it works, bath chair. Up to you.

I think its pretty flexible for all bathrooms. the long bench makes it fit almost any wherethe seat size fits inside a tub . super great shower chair. we haven't falling in bathroom since we got it

Yes, we use the chair as both a commode and shower chair. It is difficult to push the chair into the shower with someone sitting in it as the frame is not real strong. We do it, but we pull and push from the back, not the sides. The chair is covered with a vinyl type material which is definitely waterproof. The wheels are fairly small and the brake does not really keep the chair from moving. We put it against the wall when transferring my son into it so that it does not move out from under him.

The material in this toilet seat is a tough plastic that apparently has been blown into a mold...the seat is hollow, light weight, white, no holes so very easy to clean or sterilize in a sink or tub...there is no squishy foam covered with vinyl (my mother had one of those, and it was uncomfortable and difficult to clean)...this seat just sits on the toilet with the seat raised, has a couple little pads under it to hold it in place, and does not move unless you pick it up. I shopped carefully for a raised toilet seat and bought two of these...they're super and buying one if cheaper than renting for a month at the medical supply store.
