The assembly was bit tedious, but the instructions were clear. The bench is sturdy for 3 people to sit on. The slots are perfect for smaller size shoes, but for a size 9+ men's shoes, you need 2 slots to fit both shoes. The small drawers are very useful to store socks, and other little stuff. I would recommend this item.

Pros: Sturdy, and nice furniture to sit on to put on your shoes.
Cons: Can't this of any.
