This bench fit perfectly in my entrance way, doesn't stick out too far, and it really helps to keep all of our shoes out of the way. The brown seat color looks darker than the photos showed in my opinion, but I like it much better than if it were a lighter brown.

For some reasons instructions weren't included in my box, but it was fairly easy to figure it out on my own. Once everything is together the seat is sturdy and was a really good buy for the price!
