Sanbege 12 12 Shower Niche Brushed Stainless Steel Recessed Shower Caddy Bathroom Shelf Insert Fits for 11x11 Wall

Nice product. Sanbege 12”x6” brushed stainless steel niche. Nice quality, with a nice finish. Accurate description. The box is square, and not warped so it fit perfectly flush with the wall (provided your wall is plumb.) Cleans easily! Great product - would buy again. Installation can be vertical or horizontal. Easy installation - per instructions just caulk behind the lip around the box near its body and push into the wall cut out. If using in a wet area like a shower/tub make sure that it is installed into a waterproofed niche. Looks great. Functions well for soap holder for foot placement for shaving. I am a real person (not AI) and this is my real opinion. I purchased this product, and did not return it. I was not promised anything for a positive review. Read more

Bought 12x12. If you are buying this for new construction, and it is being installed by a contractor, then I think you will be very pleased. If you plan to put this in an existing shower that is already tiled, then you can also be pleased, but understand that there is a lot of work involved. Before I get into that, let me address two negatives from other reviews. 1. Water stains and hard to clean. You can remove water stains with some vinegar and a magic eraser. If they are really bad, just use some Barkeeper's Friend on a wet sponge. 2. Spot welds leak. I bought the 12x12, which is not spot welded in the middle, so this was not a problem for me. INSTALLATION INTO EXISTING TILED SHOWER: I would not recommend it as a first-time job for someone who has never framed walls, laid cement board, or tiled before. Be aware that simply putting this in a wall can lead to wall, subfloor, and possibly foundation damage. That being said, an experienced and vetted professional can do it for you. First, remove the tile, cement board, and wall board to expose two studs. Then you will frame between these studs a cave just slightly larger than the part of the niche that goes into the wall. This can be done to existing studs in a wall most easily with L-brackets. You would connect two crossbeams (2x4 or 2x6 - depending on the existing studs) across the two studs that you exposed. Then you will run two vertical studs left and right from those cross beams. This is your cave, which should be just slightly larger than the part of the niche that goes into the wall. Next, caulk all gaps in your cave and membrane the cave. Once membraned, the cave is virtually waterproof. Next, reapply wall board and cement board to where you removed the existing board and tile to access the studs (where the niche will not go). The wall board can be replaced with drywall screws, tape, and mud. Then paint the wallboard with liquid membrane. Apply thin set to the replaced wall board and screw your cement board on top of that with cement board screws into the studs. Use thin set to fill the gaps between the new and old cement board. Then apply thin set to the surface of the newly replaced cement board, place your tiles, and subsequently grout them. Finally, insert your niche using silicon adhesive around the lip. If the seal in the niche fails, the membraned cave will not allow the water to run into your wall and ruin your subfloor/foundation. Read more

I had an issue in my shower where I ended up with some broken tiles about waist high. As I pulled away the tiles and the broken drywall behind them I found a few water pipes and electrical lines going up the wall behind the break. I decided that since I had to repair the section anyways, it would be cool to put in a cubby to hold shampoo bottles and my razor. Unfortunately, due to the wires and pipes, the dimensions for a cubby were a bit limited and everything I found was either too deep or too wide to fit the space. I found this particular one by accident while searching and realized it was shallow enough to fit and narrow/short enough to fit as well. So I bought a small section of drywall, a tile saw, a single 2x4 and this cubby.. I measured it all out and installed the 2x4 around the border where the cubby would go, then cut drywall to fit and finally the tiles. Put everything in place followed by the cubby.. and sealed it in with construction glue followed by silicone around the edges... It looks amazing.. It was affordable and worked out well.. Read more

We got this to fit into an acrylic shower surround after a falling ladder punched a small hole in the back wall....seriously. We wanted to avoid ripping the whole unit out and thought we'd try a little problem solving first. This worked just great. Hubby is a builder so he's excellent at all sorts of home repairs and remodels so his skill set is far above the average homeowner, so most people wouldn't try this themselves. But it saved the day for us. Read more

These are well made and solid. I like that there are no crevices that hold water. There is a gradual slope on the shelving surfaces. There is a horizontal or vertical pattern to the brushed surface depending on the how the light shines on them. I chose to have the brush pattern installed horizontally. I remodeled an entire wall so I created 2x4 window frame for them and pre-fit them using shims as needed. I used an inexpensive silicone to set them in the frames and then sealed the perimeter using GE Silicone II 1-Hour Shower Ready Kitchen and Bath Sealant in a dripless caulk dispenser. I used some corner finishing tools made for dressing caulk beads to get a smooth look. Read more
