Very sturdy storage bench and worth every penny. Great for putting shoes in, sitting on to put shoes on and looks great against the wall. Only took 15-20 minutes to put together with ease.Added this into our closet to get my husbands shoes off the floor and give him a place to sit while he puts on his shoes and socks in the morning. It was fairly easy to put together. The only downside was the directions aren't super clear. If your good at picture directions this is for you, if you like written directions you might struggle. Also each piece has a number sticker which is mostly helpful however I don't know if it was because it was so hot several of the stickers had fallen off so I had to do a little trail and error to get the right pieces. It would be helpful if the manufacture put a couple of numbered stickers on each piece in case one falls off.Love this to organize my families shoes, my kids shoes fit about 2/3 in each cubby which is great. Doesn’t feel super sturdy, but it’s working!I ordered this hoping it would be good because there were no review. It took a while to get it. This one was the only one that fit the kind of shoe bench I wanted. Overall it took me about 30 minutes to build it. The instructions aren't great but acceptable. Please keep in mind I'm fairly handy and so it might be difficult for someone who isn't. The bench is pretty darn sturdy. I am more than satisfied. Hopefully it last a long time.It was packaged nicely which is important. I was worried that it would get damaged during shipping.We needed extra shoe storage and this was perfect!The assembly was kind of difficult. defiantly double check on if the boards are going the right way. My 12 and 13 was switched and didn't notice until I had a screw started in one of them. But only caused a small hole. Also had a lot of extra parts, several extra screws and such.
