I love this! It fits well in my small entryway and has a lot of room in the bench for storage, underneath for shoes, hooks for lazy kids coats and must-have outside items on the top. It's a lifesaver! I would have given 5 stars but when I tried to put it together I sat and whirled the screws around forever and they wouldn't match up in the holes. My husband saw sawdust packed into the holes and blew that out. Then it went together fine. Sounds simple but I'm not a handywoman and spent several hours of frustration before he figured this out for me, so it you buy it check for sawdust in the holes. Otherwise it goes together like a dream, is sturdy etc.
