EcoDecors Eleganto Teak Shower Bench Review 2025

Are you in the market for an attractive bench-style shower stool? Is your home decorated in a more rustic style? You will be thrilled with what you read in this review if you answered yes to both questions.

EcoDecors is a well-respected company in the industry. It imports handcrafted wares made in Indonesia with solid teak wood. Their products are both stylish and functional. Since they’re handcrafted, although there’s a high degree of standardization, each one has subtle differences that will make your shower stool unique, and there’s something to be said about that.

Not everyone enjoys this model’s more rustic look and feel, so the EcoDecors Eleganto teak shower bench may not be for you, but if you’re a fan, read on. In the following sections, we’ll tell you why it deserves to be on your shortlist of options.

Key Features of the EcoDecors Eleganto 18” Teak Wood Shower Bench

Handsome. That’s the term likely to spring to mind when you see the EcoDecors Eleganto teak shower bench for the first time. In our view, it’s misnamed. It’s an incredibly attractive accent piece, but describing it as elegant in any language would be a mistake. 

Even so, if you’ve been considering investing in a shower stool and are a fan of its aesthetic, this one will win you. Let’s begin by reviewing the core stats that define this model.

Chair Specifications

These are generally very good numbers. The seat is at the leading edge of the big and tall range, which starts at 18” in height and goes up from there. The width is also a good fit for most, especially given the stool’s weight limit, which we’ll have more to say about in a moment.

It is perhaps not as wide as it could be, at only 14”, but it’s acceptable given the time you’ll typically spend on it.

The stool’s weight might surprise you, especially if you compare it to medical shower chairs. But remember: most of those are made from tubed aluminum and plastic, while this is crafted from solid teak wood.

The only real limiting factor here is the weight limit. Most of the furniture on the market today supports a weight of around 300 pounds.

If you’ve been shopping for teak wood shower stools, you’ll note that most of them fall well short of this mark, and the Eleganto is no exception. No matter how much you might like the look of it, if you weigh more than 250 pounds, this model isn’t for you.

Given its overall dimensions, this product won’t work as a bath stool unless you have an oversized tub. This model was designed for use in walk-in showers, but it’s fine as a water-resistant accent piece in your bathroom.

Adjustability & Comfort

There’s nothing to say about either of these things regarding the EcoDecors Eleganto 18” teak wood shower bench.

This one isn’t adjustable, unlike many teak wood stools you can buy. And as hardwood furniture, it’s about as comfortable as you might expect.

In our EcoDecors Eleganto teak shower bench review, we’d like to note that the stool has rubberized feet, which give it a firm grip on the bottom of your shower. Each foot can be adjusted independently to keep it perfectly level, even on the sloped floors that most showers have.

We were genuinely disappointed by this design because there was no shelf below the seat, and the design could easily have incorporated one. It’s not the end of the world, but adding a shelf would have added even more value to an already great product. We regard it as a missed opportunity.

Some Assembly Required

As with most furniture, you can buy it online. If you want one, it will arrive at your door in a medium-sized box and several pieces.

The good news is that the production quality is very high, and the few pieces you’ll have to deal with fit together seamlessly, making the process as simple and painless as possible. Kudos to EcoDecors for doing such a great job on that front!

Pros & Cons of EcoDecors Eleganto Teak Shower Bench

The stool’s aesthetics will be why most people choose this one over some other teak wood shower stool. Many of the designs available are corner models or feature Asian design influences.

They look great, but honestly, not everyone is a fan of that look, which makes this product stand out because it’s so very different.

That is a two-edged sword, though, because by the same token, if you’re not a fan of this model’s more rustic appearance, you’ll probably give it a hard pass without thinking twice.

EcoDecors Eleganto Teak Shower Bench Review Conclusion

The two key determinants most people will use to decide whether to buy the EcoDecors Eleganto teak shower bench or others are the weight limit and the rustic look. If you’re 250 pounds or less and like the look, this is the shower stool you want. Otherwise, you’ll be happier with something else. On that basis, we provisionally recommend it.
