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.
Product was exactly as advertised; it is perfect for mudroom collection of shoes, etc. Stain is dark, as ordered and baskets reinforced. Inexpensive answer to too much clutter. Product delivered in a timely manner.
Serves the purpose and not a bad price. The craftsmenship is a little sloppy and I had to make some adjustments to make the doors close properly. Looks great and great for putting all my wifes college books inside and out of view.
This was easy to put together by myself and very functional. I ended up putting it in front of a window in our breakfast room and can sit plants in front of the window now and store games and coloring books underneath.
The wood is pretty good; pretty much what I was expecting for the price. There were several manufacturing defects, however. Id have sent it back for a replacement if that hadnt sounded so difficult. I ended up fixing what I could and resigning myself to accept the rest.
We bought this bench for a little bit of extra storage in our small house. Its worked well for that purpose and looks very nice. I somewhat question its overall sturdiness if you plan on actually sitting on it regularly. I weigh around 165 or so, and dont feel 100% confident that it would hold up over time if I used the bench a lot. The instructions mention a weight capacity of somewhere in the neighborhood of 230, if I remember correctly. So, if youre on the bigger side, I might go for something a little stronger.
Having just purchased our first home, we were what youd call, house poor. We were looking for a bench for the front entry and had a hard time finding one we liked. We went to , purchasing something, but the thought of having particle board bench the first thing in our home forced me to take it back. Searched and searched for something that was made of real wood but not super expensive. We found this, it was the right size, looked good from the pictures, was made of wood, and was a decent price.
Its only been a week, but we reallly like this piece. Its made of real wood, feels solid, and looks great. It came really well packaged and was assembled in less than 30 minutes. We would definitely buy this again and again.

Storage Bench Review

Not bad for the price you pay
Serves the purpose and not a bad price. The craftsmenship is a little sloppy and I had to make some adjustments to make the doors close properly. Looks great and great for putting all my wifes college books inside and out of view.
just what I thought it was
This was easy to put together by myself and very functional. I ended up putting it in front of a window in our breakfast room and can sit plants in front of the window now and store games and coloring books underneath.
Good materials; poor craftsmanship
The wood is pretty good; pretty much what I was expecting for the price. There were several manufacturing defects, however. Id have sent it back for a replacement if that hadnt sounded so difficult. I ended up fixing what I could and resigning myself to accept the rest.
Looks good, mostly sturdy
