This is a perfect fit for our narrow entrance hallway, and the fabric seat has a nice look and feel. I was a little worried when the box arrived with a tear in the middle, but the contents were well packaged, and there was no damage. The construction seems nice and sturdy. The only part that seems a little weak is the inside storage compartment base - I wouldn't put anything too heavy in there. As to assembly, the instructions are not terribly detailed: one page illustrates the completed bench, the next is a parts list, and the last page is a single exploded-view illustration of how all the parts fit together. Not bad, but it would have been nice to have been told what order to assemble the pieces in. Still, it took me less than 30 minutes to assemble by myself, so it didn't end up being a problem. Just start with one side, and the bottom shelf, and work upwards first. Don't add the other side until the rails and storage shelf are installed, or it will be too tight to slide them into their slots. You have to look really closely to find the small pilot holes that are drilled in for the bracket that holds the lid up... I nearly missed them. All in all, I'm very pleased with this purchase, and am happy with the value. Now I just need to train the kids to actually use the thing instead of dropping their sand-filled shoes throughout the house!

I love this bench. It is very sturdy and the espresso finish is very nice. The top is well padded - and I like the look of the fabric (thought of recovering before I received it). So cute and convenient.

We have a “drop zone” between our garage and kitchen. This bench in white looks terrific, is great for my 210 lb husband for putting on his shoes. Storage is very convenient. Great for the price. Not cheap looking at all.

The bench was easy to put together with no instructions. It is very sturdy with tan/brown fabric and a deep storage bin. Well worth the money.

The bench is perfect for my foyer area. Very functional in that space! Love that you can have a place to sit when putting on/taking off your shoes and then can stow them away on the bottom shelf so they aren't an eyesore. Also looks just like the pic and great sturdy quality.

This bench is exactly what I had in mind, although my husband’s work boots will not fit on shoe shelf. The size, under seat storage and color are all very nice. It seems sturdy and for the price I am happy with it!

Nice shoe bench, perfect size for a small entrance. I liked the storage for small things that you always want to keep close before going out. I'm still not sure the white color was the right decision for a shoe bench :)

Very practical and sleek. I love the storage underneath the seat cushion. Easy to assemble.

I love this bench. It arrived quickly and was in good shape. It was easy to put together. It took us about a half hour, but my husband is really good at putting things together. It is sturdy. The cushion top is not white, but a beautiful coffee linen color, with a linen texture.

This handy small bench is just right for sitting down to put on your shoes, but it is small enough to not intrude in the space. The only negative for me, I was not a fan of the dark linen-look fabric covering the seat. I plan to re-cover it with the same fabric I am using on accent pillows in the room.

The bench is exactly what I needed and just as described. It is the perfect size to fit under my window and I really like the shoe bench underneath.

This bench arrived well packaged with no damage. I was really impressed with the sturdiness of this bench. I purchased it for my entryway so people could sit down and put their shoes on. It works perfect. Love the shoe storage shelf underneath, too. The only negative thing about this purchase was the lack of instructions for assembling.

This would have been perfect except it's poorly made. The top lid with the cushion on it came warped. So one side hits the stool but the other side is raised off the stool about an inch. I'm putting weights on it for a week to see if I can make it lay flat. But I shouldn't have to. There are other things, like the factory installed screws are all wonky. If it were less expensive I wouldn't care that much. I'd actually return it if I didn't already spend all the energy to take it up our 4 flights and put it together. Too much effort to return.

Cute small bench for my homes entry way. Very easy to put together.

Love this piece! I bought the white bench. It works perfectly in a small space and by a window. It looks and feels more expensive than it actually was. Very happy!

Bench is the correct size - just what I needed to put in an entrance hallway for putting on boots and shoes. The color matched what was stated on the website. . My husband put it together easily. The top part opens smoothly and has plenty of room for storage.

It is a good shoe bench with decent amount of storage space for light items like magazines, umbrellas etc. The seat is not very soft but it serves the purpose for short time sitting requirements. It arrived with a damaged bottom shelf but Overstock were quick to send me a replacement promptly. Happy with the purchase.

This is a very sturdy and attractive bench, which is perfect for a small entryway. The handy storage area allows you to place items such as an umbrella, dog leash, sunglasses, etc. close to your entrance. It is just what we needed.

I do like this bench in my entry way. It is attractive and useful.

This was one of the best buy. It's functional, great looking in my foyer w/o overwhelming presence. I am Asian and that's where my guests park their shoes when entering my house. Getting a lot of complements.
