| Do you actually use yours? If so, how? |

| Useful for shaving legs. And since its our only bathroom, its a nice height for my kid to stand and play with toys. |

| What everyone uses it for: to put your leg up while shaving. I can also sit on mine and shower the kids with the handheld shower near the wall by the bench. I can also store a few dry towels if I want to but never seem to do this. |

| I only rest my foot on it for shaving. Sitting on it, no thanks. |

| +1. Ledge for shaving and for storing things. Since our shower is so big, it just made sense to put one in for aesthetics/balance. Not because I really wanted one. It's also a good place for contrast tile, pretty slab of marble, etc. Makes the shower more interesting. But not to sit on. |

| We took out 2 tubs and replaced with showers so I felt a bench was required in the event of a mobility issue: broken bone, post surgery, whatever you might need to sit for (that we haven't needed so far). |

| Op here. Thanks. For those who use the bench for shaving and/or storage, if you had a couple of niches for the soap, shampoo, etc. and a smaller ledge to prop your leg on, would you miss the bench? |

| We have both, the bench and niches in our tiled shower. We just put it in last summer when we gutted the bathroom. I don't use it for storage because we have the niches, just for propping up my leg. And I sat on it when we gutted the other bathroom that had our tub so that I could hold our wriggly not standing at the time 10 month old and get her clean. |

I would not miss it, unless I suffered some sort of injury and couldn't stand for very long. |

| Ours is tile. Worked very well when kids had busted feet or ankles. A yard plastic chair also works if you need to keep a cast dry or foot sutures dry. turn the chair away from the spray lean back and have someone wash your hair. |
