Nice Bench for the Price / assembly instructions could be better for the non handy woman .
My daughter needed something for the entry of her condo as she does not have a closet / so we started looking for storage benches. We didnt want to pay furniture store prices so I decided to look at my go to store and found this solution. It look me a while to put it together as I did it by myself / and the very first piece I put on up/side/down (the bottom flat panel). Maybe I should have been able to figure it out from the get go but hey, couldnt they just say in the instructions unfinished side down or finished side up come on manufacturer / this is only 3 extra words / believe me I had more than 3 words for you while putting this together lol! If it werent for that assembly would have been pretty quick.
The finished product seems quite sturdy (for the price) and the baskets we purchased for the 3 s fit perfectly (3 of Household Essentials Storage Bin with Handles, Sold. The baskets are decent sized and hold 3+ pair of my daughters shoes keeping them off the entry way floor and my falling on my face when I go to visit. We also got a Rail/Rack to hang on the wall centered above the bench. Havent installed that yet but will probably review when I do.
Anyway, this bench fit our needs perfectly. Moderate price, looks nice (our black finish is fine, no chips or mars in the paint), has quite a bit of storage, and sturdy enough to sit on it to put on/remove shoes. Would buy it again. As advertised.
