Review on 🛁 Black Tile Redi USA RN1620DU: 20" H X 16" W Redi Shower Niche - Stylish & Efficient by Josie Stevens

This is a really strong, durable and well made product. However, the picture clearly shows that this is a one-off and as other reviewers have pointed out, it came in two pieces. But what hasn't been noticed in other reviews is that when you put the two pieces together, the distance between the middle shelf and the top shelf is different than between the middle shelf and the bottom shelf. I had to remove material from the flange to keep the spacing the same. The thickness of the flange is also slightly thicker than the standard pad. I thought I could easily compensate for that with the thin set's thickness, but it turned out to be more difficult than expected. The flanges really need to be thinner. A generous buyer answered my question about using the standard thinset (they used it and it worked fine), but the manufacturer recommends their expensive epoxy. A few reviews mentioned that they had issues with the thin standard dial. As a molded part, it was probably made using a mold release agent. I scrubbed mine thoroughly with rubbing alcohol to remove this, sanded it down with coarse-mesh sandpaper, and cleaned again with rubbing alcohol. I used Acrylpro glue and grout and they worked great. If it were a solid piece (as advertised and with the same spacing between flanges) and if the flanges were thinner (equal to or slightly smaller than standard backing) and if there was a rough pattern molded into the surface (e.g. grooved or non-slip pattern), it would get five stars.
