Weve had this several weeks now, in our entryway.
This is not fine furniture that you hand down for generations. Im reviewing it as what it is - a less expensive piece made of laminate and particle board, that youll probably give away the next time you move.
In that category, its everything we need it to be. A seat cushion just soft enough, just deep enough, and the right height to sit on when putting your shoes on. Cubbies just big enough to hold my husbands clodhopper sneakers, with the taller cubbies great for hiking boots.
The width and depth fit our entry area, and it kind of blends in nicely, so eyes mostly pass over it.
Sturdiness: two adults are sitting on it and pulling shoes in and out daily, with no problems.
Note: i did use wood glue during assembly, on the pegs and along seams, to add strength (something i always recommend)
Solid particle board/pre-pack furniture
