This was exactly what we were looking for. The quality of a solid wood bench was excellent. My husband put this together in about an hour and not a single cuss word!!! I wanted to submit a video, but I do not see that as an option like on other products that I have reviewed. We left the shelves out for this dedicated shoe bench.
I purchased the white and honey bench, and while it is a little more pricey than other benches, it is well worth the cost. It comes assembled and is made of a more solid wood rather than the cheap, cardboard feeling MDF wood used for many smaller furniture products these days. The wood base is framed, which I much prefer over benches with short legs, because it gives it a classic look, provides extra stability, and helps prevent it from moving.
The cushion is padded but not overly thick. Its not attached to the bench--it removes so you can take the slipcover off for washing, and theres no zipper, just an overlapping back flap--but it doesnt move around because it fits snuggly into the three walled sides of the top of the bench. We have the bench at the foot of our bed, and its nice and compact so it doesnt take up loads of space, plus we have a small doggy staircase next to it that our dogs use. They havent tried to jump on the bench yet, and I dont know if they will, so we will see if the cushion remains in place if they use it as a step to the bed.
Finally, the three drawers are modestly sized, making them perfect for small throw blankets, sheets, and pillowcases. The slots in front provide circulation so the contents are always getting air, but do note that anything of a bright color that you place in the drawers will peep through the slots, especially the cutout for your fingers that serves as a handle. The drawers arent very deep, so you cant really push contents that are cloth to the back to keep them away from the slots.
I actually had a slight problem with this unit, but Im leaving a 5-star review because of how wonderful s customer service is. There was a hole that was drilled about a quarter-of-an-inch off-center that prevented me from assembling this unit. I completed the form on the manufacturers website. Within 24 hours, I received an email stating that a replacement part was being sent via FedEx. The replacement part arrived promptly and I was able to finish assembling my unit, which looks great in our media room.
My expectations for customer service from companies who sell products like these usually isnt very high, but has proved itself to be an exception. Its refreshing to see a company care as much as they do.
This entryway bench is our third piece of furniture, and we wouldnt hesitate to buy additional units for future home projects.

Sturdy and good price.
Bought for entryway to the garage. Not in the way, very sturdy, and comfortable. Great price too. Can’t beat it!
Attractive and more durable than most storage benches these days

Easy assembly!!
The bench / shoe rack is so simple to assemble, and looks great. Sturdy enough to sit on without feeling you may break the wood. Awesome product.
Exactly as advertised
It looks high end, perfect for shoe storage!
