This wiki has been updated 16 times since it was first published in May of 2020. Even though wall-mounted benches like these are typically intended for bathrooms, their space-saving design makes them useful anywhere that would benefit from an extra sitting platform. Whether you're someone with limited mobility who has trouble standing while in the shower or you just want a convenient place to sit while you put your shoes on, we have a range of options to choose from.

Editor's Notes
August 30, 2020:
Apart from our budget-friendly option -- the Best Choice Products Bench for Adults -- all of our options are made of teak. Extremely dense and heavy, teak wood is a great choice for bathrooms and showers because of its natural oil production. This oil acts as a water repellent, preventing any potential mold or water damage that other, more porous woods would have.
Teak is also just a really attractive looking wood, and its natural brown finish fits in with the majority of bathrooms.
Proper installation is extremely important when it comes to wall-mounted furniture pieces like these, and serious injury can occur if performed incorrectly. Never attempt to install a wall-mounted bench without either using the existing wall studs or adding additional backing behind the wall (this option is best done during the initial construction of the bathroom).
If you’re not totally comfortable with heavy-duty mounting, you should have a professional perform assembly and installation. It will increase the overall price of the project, but a handyman bill is a small price to pay for the peace of mind you get in return.
Wall mounted benches are a great way to save bathroom space, and if you’re looking for ways to conserve even more, consider one of these shower caddies. Also, if this wall mounted bench is being purchased for someone with mobility issues, a dual shower head could be a great investment. By utilizing two heads, you can ensure that even if you're seated on the wall, you can still get enough water to shower effectively.
