Shoe Storage Bench, Entryway Shoe Rack with Leather Seat 2-Tier Lift-top Organizer Wooden Bench for Foyer Bedroom Living Room Accent Furniture (31.5'')

UPDATE: the seller responded to me and worked very hard to try to make this right. They gave me the choice of sending another bench, or a full refund. I opted for getting another bench sent. It came almost immediately. Unfortunately it had almost identical issues to the first, but to a lesser degree. The seller gave me a partial refund to make up for everything and I’m happy. It wasn’t their fault. I discussed the packaging with the seller and because they use different packing than either of my items came with, I believe I was sent not one but two returns. Amazon, you’re busted! That’s incredibly shady.Original review: I want so badly to give this a better review but I just can’t. It’s solid, it looks good, doesn’t look or feel cheap and was relatively easy to put together… but the one I was sent is damaged. The finish was cracked and chipped on the corners of both shelves. The seat had a gummy residue in 2 places. Despite this, I am keeping it because the box is heavy and too unwieldy to load in the car by myself, and getting it picked up will cost. It’s annoying to pay full price and not get a perfect item, but it’s functional; I have scratch cover markers for chips and scratches and a magic eraser for the goo.Also, from the photos, it looks like heels fit in the shelves, right? Wrong. Nothing over 1.5 - 2” will work.

Very nice shoe rack/bench for our front foyer. Perfectly matches our couch and other dark furnishings. The only problem was putting it together. I found it very difficult and time-consuming, maybe because I’m not very mechanically inclined, so buyer beware, but it is a really nice piece.

This thing is surprisingly sturdy. I’ve had two people sit on it together who’s combined weight exceeded 450lbs, and it felt completely solid. There were a few very minor cosmetic scuffs to the “wood” on delivery, but nothing significant. It didn’t include half as many washers as the instructions showed to use. Otherwise, assembly was easy. I was happy that the hinges were pre-assembled, since hinges never line up quite right on DIY. I put it together myself and would recommend a second set of hands. Also be ready for styrofoam eeeeeeverywhere! The leatherette feels and looks genuine and durable. It included pads to avoid scuffing the floor. I’ve had it for a few months, and I’m pleased with its appearance and durability. My only complaint is that the pictures made me think it could fit more types of shoes than it really can. Even sneakers are a bit tall for these shelves. It’s great for sandals, slippers, and slides. You’ll need to find something different entirely if you hope to store basketball-type sneakers or any kind of boots.

It came carefully packaged and assembled perfectly. We used only one shelf so as to have more space for boots and such.Quality is good for price

We purchased this bench to use at the foot of the bed in our guest bedroom. We needed a smaller bench due to space constraints but also wanted a sturdy, attractive bench. This product hit all our goals, was easy to assemble and is now in service!

Simply gorgeous. Easy to assemble

We wanted something traditional to fit our decor so we were ecstatic to find this sturdy piece of furniture. It was very easy to assemble. The bench seat has storage and is very firm but we like it. The best thing is that our shoes are not thrown all over the floor anymore:)

I thought it was fairly straightforward on assembly directions but they only had enough washers for the first set of screws that hold the legs to the bench. It shows to use washers on the shelf connections also but there was not enough for that. So far it seems very sturdy without the washers and I love the look in my entry and height of the bench is comfortable for even the taller members of the family.
