I love this bench. I have 4 kids plus a husband- the center cubbies are perfect for keeping our winter items separate and then the sides are great for the kids shoes. I found this incredibly easy to assemble and did it myself without issue. The pad on the bench isnt the best but does the job, serves as more of a landing space for our junk when we walk in the door. I will say the clearance between the top and bottom shelves on the two ends are different, which was a small problem for my baskets. I remedied that with a bit of DIY, I just scooped the notches on the shelves out a bit to provide some extra clearance for the top space, worked like a charm. This is sturdy and does the job, and has held up to the beating my family of 6 has given it. I recommend, and will rebuy if this guy ever gives out.
Worth the money, does its job
