Got this for my guest room, even though there is a bench that could be used. It is a really sturdy and stable piece that goes well with the other furniture in the room. I have heard comments from several different guests about it, including how nice it looked and how convenient it was to use (height is just right and bench was too low). I like the wall saver feature to keep luggage tops from marring the wall. Good product to have and great product for the price!
