This shoe storage bench is sturdy, and fits exactly in my space. I needed a certain size, so the front door can still open fully. It is strong, looks great, and appears well made. The color I ordered is accurate.  I am happy that it holds 300lbs because my family members and friends are not so small. The bamboo wood looks really good.  My only disappointment is that it doesn’t hold 10 pair of shoes as advertised. It only holds 8 adult pairs, when placed side by side.  But holding 8 pairs is ok for me.  I can rest my pocketbook on the bench, and still have room to sit.  I love it!
