PERFECT for a small entrywayI searched literally everywhere for a small-enough bench for my entry, and only Container Store had one. I have a tiny apartment, and every square-foot counts. This piece establishes its micro-area as "the entryway", and keeps my indoor flip-flops and slippers organized and out-of-sight. I LOVE this bench!!!

Love themPurchased 2 of them, one for an entryway, one for the master bedroom. Came easily packaged, no assembly. So far so good. Only 2 suggested improvements, a removable cushion and perhaps a different option for storage inside. I put several pairs of shoes in and it works but room for improvement and options.

Lightweight Storage BenchThis bamboo storage bench comes assembled, is lightweight,
and fits perfectly at the end of a twin bed. We use two with
the king bed in the the master bedroom. It can serve as a bench seat, luggage rack and storage bin at our beach house. It actually has a "beachy" look!

Beautiful & functionalI purchased this several months ago and have found it to be both beautiful and functional. This stays by the front door, giving me a place to store my shoes and sit down when putting them on. The interior is plastic-coated and can easily be wiped clean. I use the crevice tool on my vacuum cleaner to get any bits of loose dirt or stray dried grass from the corners. I also store my shoes with the bottoms of the soles “praying,” as this helps to keep the interior clean. I left the dessicant packs which came with this bench to keep moisture (read: odors) at bay. I also allow my shoes to air out and dry before putting them in the bench. This should prevent any odor from spoiling my bench. I have three pairs of shoes and two pairs of slippers stored inside. This bench serves as a stylish home to the shoes i wear most-often, keeping them neatly together, out of sight and yet easily accessible and offering me a seat as well. It seems to be a well-made piece and it is as pretty IRL as the online photos. I would recommend this without hesitation or reservation and especially so at the sale price.

Holds a lot!Very modern, beachy space saving container that holds a lot! I was able to get 12 pairs of sandal/shoe flats in one container. I can see this holding towels or sheet sets also. The seat cushion is a shade of gray that changes colors depending on what it is near. Mine took on a blueish tone next to my navy quilt. I wish the manufacturer would make these in a stackable style,too. If you are hesitating to buy-don't. The delivery was quick.The item well packaged. BTW: I bought 2, however 4 would easily look perfect at the foot of a king bed.

Darling benchI was looking for a small storage bench like this for 3 years. I do not have extra space to put my shoes near the front door and this does the job. I love that it has removable inside container that I can clean easily. It is also sturdy enough to sit on it. Thank you Container Store!

Perfect for Apartment LIfeI purchased this attractive storage bench for use in my apartment bathroom. It is perfect for this application. Multi-functioning as a seat and a bath and towel storage bin. I have four bath towels, two hand towels, and about a half dozen wash clothes stored within.
I also like the design and materials. Very well crafted. Substantial feel to it which is hard to do with this size.

Have a seat!This was the perfect addition to our master bath. It gives us a comfortable place to sit after a shower AND a place to toss dirty towels and washcloths.
But we made one adjustment -- the inner cloth container is divided into four small compartments. They are too small to provide much storage. But we found it was possible to carefully cut the divider out, leaving one large bin that is much more useful for us.
The unit is well made and very attractive.

Just about right...The biggest reason I'm only giving this 4 stars? The seat, when raised, requires a clearance of about 2" behind the bench, so it would have to stick out into the walking space. I didn't see that info in the description/dimensions. That's too much of a tripping hazard in our small, multi-generation house. (Yes, I know the front folds open.)
Also, if I was involved in designing the perfect entry bench, I'd make the insert Velcro-adjustable (or ?) for storing reusable shopping bags or other slightly larger items like a backpack or 2.
I have some heavier dress shoes with shoe trees. Would they be too heavy for the back/top level?
Also, another commenter mentioned not having space when lifting the top - would I ever need to open the top ?
Asked by: UTee
The top doesn't open. It's pretty sturdy.

Can this item be used as a tilt out laundry bin?
So with a laundry bin insert or without the divider for shoes?
Asked by: Katherine033
Yes but you would probably want to pull out the divider bins. They are removable. Thanks.

Is this assembled or assembly required?
I ordered this but didn't see anything on the description about whether it came fully assembled or needed assembly required. I hope it's assembled or mostly at least.
Asked by: Steamingirlie
Fully assembled.

Is it possible to NOT install the plastic insert which divides for shoes?
Asked by: MKEteacher
This is a great question! NO assembly required!! And YES the dividers can easily be slipped right out if you wish not to se them.
