This was incredibly easy to build bench, easier than many other products I've put together (and I've put together a lot of things :). I highly recommend it! It looks and feels sturdy, and it's great when put together. One thing the draws are smaller than I though but that's ok, we'll live through it, only my kids shoes and two pairs of my wife will fit in there, but since I'm a size 13 only one pair (vertically) fits in there. We're not done putting everything together quite yet, but you get to see what ours looks like in our space, I hope the picture helps. Also, when installing the bench I've noticed that the main long piece had two dents that might have gotten chipped during the shipping, they are pretty bad, but since these two will hide on the back of the bench and will not be visible, nor is it worth it for me to return it I decided to keep it and deal with it - hopefully Wayfair is reading their reviews and hope to do something about it. Overall, I'm very happy with it.
