Good overall piece, but quality/control seems poor
The metal shoe bench definitely fit our need for a compact shoe rack and bench. The size fits perfectly for our space, and overall it looks good. Assembly was also simple and easy.
However, the quality of the item itself is NOT that good. We received the item to find some of the powder/coat paint was peeling off on one side of a rack. I was able to assemble this so that the peeling is hidden from view, but it does concern me if more paint were to peel in the future. Also, there are some sharp edges where the steel was cut to form the individual pieces. It seems the manufacturer didnt bother sanding those edges, so be careful when handling the pieces.
Overall, this is a good piece but I would hesitate purchasing this one again. I would rather try a competitors item, hoping it is of better quality and have been better quality/checked at the factory.
