It definitely is serving the purpose that we needed for it which is easy access to coats and shoes and a bench to sit on to put on shoes or to store book bags. So definitely meets our need from a functional perspective. We also like that its simple and modern looking. The package arrived in very good condition there were no marks or scratches on anything and we had all the hardware that was needed to assemble this item. It definitely takes a long time to assemble depending on your level of handiness. The directions are not clear so be careful take your time and check and recheck before you put things together. I wish that the backing was more than colored cardboard so that is the only knock I would say about its overall durability. However, for the price it is a good buy. To be clear, this is not real wood / manufactured particle board but it is sturdy enough for our purpose and it looks good and was economical. As long as your expectations are realistic its definitely worth getting
