What do you need to know? How to make one? Install one? Built in? I have a plastic "shower chair" and bench that i use when my arthritis is bad.
OMG, I was thinking this just YESTERDAY. I have the "hospital" shower chair. It's embarrassing. My shower walls are cultured stone . . . I guess you could drill in it, I don't know . . . :/
Shower benches are notorious for leaking. Have had to have more than one replaced for clients. If you put one in make sure it is a solid surface on top and caulked really well. I found several Teak ones and found one I love that is water proof and sturdy.
There are fold away options like this that can also be used. https://www.lowes.ca/shower-seating/health-craft-ws-26-wd-invisia-serenaseat-fold-away-shower-seat_g1489011.html
I would check out the forums over at johnbridge.com as there are many ways to build the shower bench if you are starting from scratch with a new shower. These solutions range from pre-fab kits and systems like the schlutter system, to bricking it in with cement block and tiling over.
