I needed a very specific size and this fit great. Not the finest materials, but the back panel wasnt just cardboard like a lot of MDF shelves are, so it is pretty sturdy! My 4 year old had a blast helping me put it together.
I just love love love this bench. Have it by the front door where its needed as we do not have a mud room. Great for everyones shoes and the bench holds my weight at 245 lbs and my baby on my lap at 30 lb. So very sturdy in my book. I like the gray color to with the turquoise totes. Looks good.
These are working great for me! I needed a specific height and length for my large picture window and loved how these worked great. Im also glad it has a high weight limit (because my husband is abt 400lbs). We keep shoes and socks, also diapers and wipes, for each kid in the cloth bins. No big problems yet, though because they are cloth, my son has pushed it hard enough to collapse inward but it doesnt damage it too bad.
Ordered yesterday got it today. It was easy to assemble. There was some damage to the corners. Thankfully its all to the back side and covered by the cushion. I dont think there is sufficient packing materials for the boards and that is why so many have complained about broken materials. I had exactly what was needed for hardware.
It is perfect for what I needed and it is a comfortable place to take our shoes on and off. The cubbies are a bit smaller than I would like but I knew that going in. Good item for the price.
PROS: This entryway bench with shoe storage is on the expensive side, but its beautiful with quality craftsmanship. I am very selective and picky about inspecting furniture for damages. However, the parts arrived carefully wrapped in one box and in overall good condition within one week of placing my order. The bench appears sturdy and its made of solid wood, but well have to see how well it holds up to being in a high traffic area in our home and everyone sitting on it to remove/wear shoes.
CONS: I really wish the seller would have labeled the parts because the instruction booklet came with letters and numbers assigned to each component, but absolutely nothing in the box was actually labeled! Component 9 was not labeled properly or at all in certain steps. Also, the pictures in the instructions did not match all the parts, because we purchased the largest bench (XXXL) from the options but the diagrams in the instructions showed a medium bench!? Therefore, it took two of us some extra time to assemble the bench so Im docking points off what would have been a more positive and higher rated review. I hope the seller takes this review as constructive feedback to update the instructions for each bench option sold.
First one came broken. Requested a replacement and it came within a week. The instructions were great and it was easy to put together. Great for the price. I bought 10 in cube storage drawers from Walmart and they fit perfectly.
Beautiful bench too bad it doesnt come with decent instructions, you know something with pictures and actual written instructions. Its a concept I know, but picture instructions without any written instructions is pretty worthless. Otherwise I love the bench! Wish it didnt take half the day to put it together!

Happy with my purchase, slight damage.

Nice for childrens shoes
It looks nice and hides away the mess of childrens shoes. It is not a large item. Assembly was okay.
Nice bench but instructions leave much to be desired!
