I just wasn't sure about the reviews I was seeing on the bamboo/teak ones. I figured we'll keep it as long as it's useful, and then I won't feel bad about throwing it out. We plan to move in 2 years and I wouldn't be moving it, regardless of which one we chose. If we end up with a shower that's awkward to shave in again, I'll spring for a nice one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-shower-stool#post-2550500 Tue, 17 May 2016 12:44:05 +0000 BananaPancakes 2550500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had a teak seat in our shower for like 10 years and I use it every day. They'll come in super handy after the baby is here if you ever want to shower with the baby or when your LO is sick and you want a place to sit in the shower with him/her. We have stand-alone showers (not bath/shower combos), so it's impossible for me to shave anyways without a seat to throw my leg up on. I picked the bamboo, one, though I'd get the largest one that will fit and that you can afford. Seriously, I hate showering without one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-shower-stool#post-2550317 Tue, 17 May 2016 10:55:37 +0000 ShootingStar 2550317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: ooh thanks! There's one near my office. Maybe I'll go at lunch and check them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-shower-stool#post-2550313 Tue, 17 May 2016 10:54:16 +0000 hellobeeboston 2550313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have a Homegoods near you I would check them out - they very often have bamboo shower stools! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-shower-stool#post-2550183 Tue, 17 May 2016 09:25:44 +0000 snowjewelz 2550183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eek, the bamboo one is so expensive! I'd just get the plastic one. It's not THAT bad and if it's that ugly I'd just stash it after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-shower-stool#post-2550179 Tue, 17 May 2016 09:23:20 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2550179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a bamboo one and it held up nicely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-shower-stool#post-2550178 Tue, 17 May 2016 09:22:34 +0000 ShootingStar 2550178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, so this is kinda random. I'm 26w pregnant and it's getting tough to bend over to shave my legs in the shower. We have a large double size stall shower and I was thinking of getting a shower seat/stool so I can just sit if I need to. I can't decide between a more medical device looking plastic one (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ez2care-Adjustable-Lightweight-Shower-Bench/dp/B007HCDMJ0/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=hpc&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1463492850&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=shower+stool" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Ez2care-Adjustable-Lightweight-Shower-Bench/dp/B007HCDMJ0/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=hpc&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1463492850&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=shower+stool</a>), or a bamboo one (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Corner-Bamboo-Bench-Shower-Stool/dp/B001UH77GW?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;redirect=true&#038;ref_=ox_sc_act_title_3&#038;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Corner-Bamboo-Bench-Shower-Stool/dp/B001UH77GW?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;redirect=true&#038;ref_=ox_sc_act_title_3&#038;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER</a>).</p> <p>For the plastic one, it's cheaper and will potentially hold up better. But it's ugly and looks like a medical device and I'd probably just get rid of it once I'm fully recovered post RCS. </p> <p>The bamboo one is more expensive, but looks a lot better and I'd be more tempted to keep it in the shower to make shaving easier (we currently have ledges or anything to put my foot up on). But I'm worried the wood is more likely to not hold up. But we're planning on moving in a couple years so it doesn't need to least forever. </p>
