Pain in the neck to assembleWe actually love the finished product but it was pain in the neck to assemble. Realized that holes on wood are too small for nails to go in smoothly. I had to go get some drill bits to drill it. It should've been ready to be assembled! The cushion could've been better quality but I am going to reupholster it to make it look better. Otherwise, the wood itself seems to be very sturdy.

Perfect for small spacesI needed a solution for my kids backpacks and shoes after school, but I'm limited on space. This bench with drawers is perfect! Both kiddos can sit on it at the same time to get shoes on/off, plus there's no backpack mess all over the place. Solid construction, and attractive.

Not worth $200.00It was difficult to put together. The screws were impossible to screw in by hand, had to use a power screw driver. The exterior is paper over composite. There are 10 “distress marks” on the paper on one drawer and nothing on the other drawer which looks really weird. Not happy with this purchase.

Awesome functional piece BUT....I was shocked at how heavy the box was. I was shocked how many pieces and parts needed to be assembled. This boxed item needs a giant strong man to drag into the house and 2 people to build. It's a total 5 star item (I LOOOVE IT) but it was overwhelming to bring home and assemble and it's super expensive.

Beautiful, but assembly is a pain!I don't how people have called this bench "easy to assemble" -- kudos to them, but I was tearing my hair out! Yes, the instructions are clearly marked and all parts are organized according to the various steps. What threw me off is that even after following the directions, many parts just didn't seem to fit. The screws in particular would not take hold. Ultimately we used a power drill to install them, though that was difficult since the sides of the unit prevented us from getting a good angle. Anyway, this really is a beautiful bench and I'd recommend it so long as the buyer knows what they're in for re: assembly. It took me and my husband approximately two hours. Side note: this thing is REALLY heavy. If you're picking up in store like I did, make sure you have a friend to help load it up.

Great ProductBench was just what I was looking for. Assembly went smoothly. Only thing I would improve is padded bench seat. Won’t hold up under wear. Will probably get an upholstered pad to replace it.

Makes a huge difference!Since we don't have a mudroom, the kitchen was becoming really cluttered with shoes, and there was nowhere to store them neatly. I thought I would try this product to fix the problem.
The good:
The space looks SO much better-- huge difference.
The design is great and looks adorable.
This can be decorated seasonally using pillows.
Small cons:
Price- I would have liked to give 4.5 stars for this one. It is is expensive given the quality of the materials.
Assembly- It was a bit of a pain to put together,
However, I had a coupon, which helped a lot on the price, and I'm SO glad we bought this item. It look a cluttered corner and turned it into a cozy little nook.
I also changed the color of the cushion using decorator fabric from Joann's. Before and after pictures are attached.

Worst CS purchase everI've seen my fair share of terrible directions, poor materials and bad design, yet I've never had that much trouble putting together a piece of furniture. It's not even a very big piece! I'm an engineer for Pete's sake! The directions are so confusing, I felt like I needed a PhD in hieroglyphics, and the while the wood is solid and heavy, the screws and etc are rather flimsy or oddly short. I actually snapped one.

Great and sturdyThis product was very sturdy and fairly easy to assemble.
Only issue was attachment of front edges to drawers. There was no instruction on how to secure it, so I used gorilla glue for both pieces.
Still looks great and appears durable.

Just what we needed!We love this little shoe bench. It's easy to assemble, a nice neutral color and fits about 4 pairs of shoes per drawer (8 pairs total). It's a perfect way to keep our entry way organized. We did change the fabric of the cushion though because we didn't love the original color. Otherwise no complaints!

Unhappy with the part quality & assembly processWhen I opened the package, most of the panels included had mild scratches that have regular parallel patterns, which might have happened by being rubbed against some hard objects before being packed. (The package itself was good with sufficient styrofoam cushioning each panel.) The package was so heavy that I couldn't think of returning it to a nearby store. So I decided to assemble it anyway. The assembly consisted of multiple steps. I ended up working up my right arm and hand pretty hard. I would recommend using automatic drills. The final product was tidy, although I was not satisfied with the quality of the parts and the assembling process. I wouldn't recommend this to a friend without informing of my less than favorable experience.

Great Purchase for StorageThis product was one of the easiest products to assemble. Each part was labelled with a sticker, and even the screws were packaged in separate compartments for each stage (total 6 stages) so you don't have to find the correct hardware. I've never seen that before in any product assembly. Love it so far - great for entry way, and love the sliding shelf so you can "hide" your shoes from view from guests. Box was delivered in a bit of rough condition from shipping, though nothing was damaged inside. Would fully recommend this product!

Great storage benchI just love this storage bench! I was so tired of my family leaving their shoes all over the house. The bench gives them a place to put their shoes. My daughter sits on the bench in the mornings to put on her shoes . I use the bench as a place to put my purse. Very nice design and is sturdy. I am so glad to have it.
The dimensions are 33-3/4" w x 17-1/2" d x 20-5/8" h. The weight is approximately 69 pounds.

Standard boot trays do not fit this shoe bench. Have any liners or trays that would fit well?
I have tried many boot trays to protect the wood from wet shoes during winter season but the dimensions of this shoe bench are not normal. Are there any shoe/boot trays or liners that fit these slots well?
Thanks.
Asked by: MyExperienceWithIt
A friend received this as a gift recently. I came here to see if there were liner options available. It will be a great thing to have, but we are going to use contact paper in the meanwhile. Containerstore: please make a waterproof liner for this great shoe-shelf!

Would this bench be okay outside? Would it survive (some) elements?
We live in Northern California, so not much rain. It would be in a covered area as well, but it does get damp in the morning. We'd re-upholster the cushion with Sunbrella fabric.
Asked by: Goldie300
It’s not wood, it’s paper over composite so I would say no, it wouldn’t be good outside.
