I am about to wrap up this shower build in my house and I think I accidentally built the niche area too high.

The bottom shelf sits at 50.5 inches off the floor. So its in my chest area when I step in. I could actually demo the tile just there and rebuild it down to 48 inches. I’m hearing that the bottom of the shelf should be even with the shower valve at 48 inches.

Any advice?

Ours is higher than our shower valves. 173cm or ~54in feels fine to us.

Not worth the effort for 2". A shower niche is fine anywhere between countertop height and eye level.

Mine is about sholder height - 1.50-1.60m . Somewhere in that ballpark.
I also put a small glass shelf next to the battery for the kids at about 1.3m

it would be fine at 7 ft off the ground if it was already built
