This storage bench is made of cheap materials, my husband had to be very careful not to split the wood when screwing into the pre-drilled holes. The instructions are difficult to follow, there are a lot of pieces and terrible labels. Short cuts are abundantly clear, the drawers are not lined with white so Ill be needing to paint them, as with the backing.
That being said, once it was all put together it is a sturdy and lovely storage bench. It can hold my husbands weight, the plush topper is removable and washable. The drawers are big enough to fit 1 to two pairs of shoes in them each and a cubby hole. Im very happy with it in the end, but it was looking pretty rough when we were building it.
This is a pain to install but worth it in the end
