I am very happy with this purchase.  I have a very small area for storing shoes and this works perfectly.  My daughter always takes her shoes off before walking through the house and now she has a place to sit to put on or take off her shoes.  My children usually never notice all the items I bring in to the house but this time they both commented on how nice the bench was!  I've purchased quite a bit from Wayfair and I have always been pleased with my purchases.
