This is not high end furniture, but it is solid looking and feeling, and was very simple to assemble. Have only had it for a few days, so cant yet vouch for its longevity.
We purchased this for a spot to put on and store shoes. It is very sturdy. Overall, a great buy! John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I am happy that I purchased this bench, it has what I want 1.) a sitting spot 2.) large bottom open area to fit tall shoes or I can double stack them 3.) top rack for shoes I wear every day 3.) sturdy and not wobble 3.) dark color to easily match. The bench as a whole looks really good, sure it can be made with better quality wood, but then again it would be really heavy and cost a lot. Overall, I think the quality is good enough and serve its purpose well.
I received this bench about a year ago and it is exactly what I needed. I got it to go under a large low window in my living room and it fits perfectly, the baskets are just the right size and the color matches the rest of my furniture. The three baskets are for my husband and I to share, he got twohe can use them for the junk he likes to bring home and pile up (now Im happy and the clutter is gone). The other I use for the cats brushes, combs or whatever. The shelf is perfect to stack some local history books on or whatever strikes my fancy. I havent looked into a cushion for the top, will possibly make one someday, for now I just use it as an extra table top with a couple of things on it (no clutter!). Ive had lots of compliments and would buy it again in a heartbeat
I needed a piece of furniture (not shelves or TV cabinet, as I have a tower TV) to put my cable box and DVD/VCR in and still be able to use the remote. This worked perfectly. The baskets are a great place to store movies, CDs, and video games. My VCR/DVD combo and cable box fit on the shelf with an inch or two to spare. The bench supports up to 200 pounds, so not real practical as a 2-seater, but it is a beautiful piece and quite sturdy. The product detail does not reveal the shelf can be lowered so the baskets can be placed toward the top of the open cabinet, but there are notches to do sonice flexibility! If I could give this 10 stars, this furniture deserves it.
For a $100 you get what you pay for. Its a sturdy bench and just what we wanted but the other reviews were right how there are more than a few nicks and cracks that obviously were sent that way. It looks as if they were like painted over with the stain but they arent extremely noticeable and I didnt want to go through the hassle of sending it back. But all in all it is a good, sturdy bench and the wood quality is nice.
I absolutely love this shoe bench. I dont know what took me so long to order it. I knew I needed one but I wasnt sure which one to get. After looking over all the reviews I finally took a chance on this one. I love it. When it arrived it was very securely packaged, and it arrived quite quickly. I am a female and I was surprised at how light the box seemed. I was able to drag it into the house without a problem and it took me all of twenty minutes to assemble. After I put it together I simply lifted it over to the entryway all by myself. It was so easy to assemble it was almost scary. You can fit at least four pairs of nice sized shoes on each section. You can sit safely on the top(I wouldnt recommend more than 250 lbs) or you can put luggage on it if you travel. I love this bench so much Im going to order a second one for my bedroom.
Nice solid wood. Easy to assemble. Handy adjustable shelf. Attractive. Good price. Most similar pieces priced at this level are made of composite or laminate materials. This is real wood and sturdy. It fits our purposes and seems like it will last.
We were looking for a nice looking, sturdy mud room bench that was shorter in length than most others. We needed it to fit in a small foyer so it need to be no more than 40L and this was the perfect fit. The bench was easy to put together, and is made of quality wood. We opted to use the baskets in our linen closet for extra storage, which also allows for boots and taller items to be stored under the bench. It is a really nice piece of furniture.
I got this bench about 6 or 7 months ago and it has held up very nicely.
It was pretty easy to assemble (I did it alone in about 20-30 minutes). You have the choice when building it to put the baskets higher and leave the extra space below them or vice versa (as pictured). I put the baskets higher and left the extra space below for shoes. This is not a large piece of furniture - it would fit nicely in a hallway entrance if needed. Each basket holds a decent amount of stuff. In one of them I have 2 or 3 of my infant daughters winter coats, 2 of her hats, and her gloves.
