12"×12" Shower Niche Brushed Stainless Steel, Recessed Shower Caddy, Bathroom Shelf Insert Fits for 11"x11" Wall Hole Installation (Light Black)

We are all enjoying the extra space , I installed 2 of them!!Looks beautiful and quality is great

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.

Excellent product

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..

Remodeled a bathroom and didn’t want to have to tile a niche. This stainless steel niche eliminates the need to tile. Just glued down and was done. It looks really sleek in my new shower.

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.

Love! Fit perfect with our new shower installation!! Very functional to holdsshampoo & soap! Sturdy!! Quality! Husband installed easily.

Love this little niche! Perfect size to hold bar soap and razors. Of course if you're looking to hold shampoo bottles or soap bottles, this isn't for you, unless you put it in vertically, but then it would only hold 2 bottles. I've used it horizontally and it's exactly what I wanted.
