The shoe storage cabinet is a pretty and sturdy piece of furniture that actually matches two tv type tables I bought prior.            The problem with the bench is the bracket connecting the top of the bench to the inside of the bench to help open and close will not attach at all. I worked with it taking it off and on for about 1/2 an hour before I gave up. The bracket does not work at all and the connecting instructions are to only work one way. Very dissatisfied with that and the bottom board # 11 has so many different holes and attaches to nothing.  Also the top board #12 does not line up. Making it work not interested in the return headache. Worth the price if you can live with the flaws.
