Review on Stainless Steel Shower Wall Niche, Neodrain 24" X 12" X 4" Insert Storage Shelf For Bathroom Tiled Recessed Niche, Brushed Finish by Jason Przystup

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great Look, Easy to Trim Tile around, Easy to make water proof

Reasonable price, sturdy box, looks great upon completion, however it does get soap/scum build up after 20 or so showers (obviously depending on location in shower space) fortunately is easy to clean. For install, after installing 4 of these following directions, I find it easier to simply silicone the box in place and fasten with roofing nails instead of screws (nails heads are flush, screws stand out 1/8"), then discard the orange barrier, instead simply use mesh tape and skim coat with mud/mortar, allow to dry then RedGuard all seams and corners as seen in pics. I've use 3 different box models, this one is slightly more work than the others, but looks far better and no worries about water leaks. Cheers

Pros
  • Easy installation.
Cons
  • Wall niches can be a breeding ground for bacteria and mold
