Wooden Shoe Bench

I have the bench situated next to the slider to the back deck. My grandkids immediately take their shoes off and put them on the lower rack of the bench when they come inside. For that alone, I love the bench! My only complaint is that it is a bit wobbly so that the only ones who feel comfortable sitting on it are small children. No one in the family is overweight, by the way.

The bench arrived earlier than expected, which was a nice surprise. The problem is the top of the bench has defects - it looks like something crushed the wood on the top portion to the left. The defect isn't noticeable until you are up close to it, so we have decided to hang onto this because it fits the space by the front door perfectly. Just like the other reviews have pointed out - there is not enough space in between the shelves for shoes. We fixed this by removing the very bottom shelf and we plan to use the second shelf for flip flops and very low shoes. We bought this for something to sit on while we put our shoes on in the front entrance. It is a very cute edition to our arts and crafts style home. The quality is average and it is sturdy to sit on. This is not a "show piece" by any means, but a functional item that doesn't distract from the rest of our entry way and living room area.

I have been looking for 6 months for this bench. I knew what I wanted but also what I wanted to pay. I found this bench for my bathroom and the quality and price were exactly what I was searching for. I am very pleased.

This is a great little shoe bench for an area where you don't have a lot of space (as opposed to going for a hall tree in a bigger space). It's easy to assemble and once put together it really is nice to look at. The shoe shelves are not large in height, so if you're looking to put boots there, you can't, but regular shoes fit nicely. For the price, this is a very good piece.
