Bench is exactly what I wanted. My husband put it together when I was at work in less than an hour. Storage is nice for shoes. Size is a little smaller than I expected but I'm not good with measurements. Wayfair customer service is great when I called them because price had dropped the day after I purchased and they fixed it for me. Will definitely reorder from wayfair. I added pics of it open and closed and so you can see height next to door
