Looks great, pain to put together

The instructions should state whether the screws are going in the top or the bottom and each should be noted. It was confusing, but once it was together I love it.
Haven't had this long, but so far: sits evenly on the floor, looks presentable, was easy to assemble, seems stable, won't scratch the floor. Small pictures of this item meant that I didn't discern the stitching around the top of the cushion which, IMHO, cheapens the look a bit. YMMV.
With the new floor came new rules from the boss: 'Shoes off at the door!' being older and more significant in size than my younger self, I created issues of shoes piling up at the door and then trying to balance to place shoes back on to leave. Bingo, this new bench shoe rack works excellently to store slippers for indoor trade for a place to park my outdoor shoes. It's a comfortable seat to place on my shoes. It is very well-built and easy to assemble.
It's tall enough, the removable hooks are great cause some jackets are bigger than others plus I use a few for hats and scraf. Perfect size for my front door entrance and I'm thinking about getting another for my back door entrance. It's sturdy enough for 2 pair of my husband work boots. My jacket, hat and scarf and his jacket and hats.
My daughter lives in an apartment with very limited storage, and she constantly had shoes all over near her front door. While they did have a shoe rack, they didn't have anywhere to sit while putting shoes on. I found a deal going on this one and got it for her. It was super easy to assemble, and this thing is actually very sturdy. I was kind of skeptical because it didn't feel sturdy as I was putting it together, but once it was fully assembled it's definitely going to hold the weight of an average person. I love the fact that there's a lot of shoe storage space in it as well, and the spots are big enough for them to put two shoes in each slot. No more mess of shoes in the entry now, and a place to put shoes on and take them off as well. Win win!
This bench looks really nice, and it wasn't hard to put together. You will have to drill holes for some of the screws, but it was still easy to assemble. I love the way it looks and displays my shoes.
