This is a very stunning bench I  used in my entryway to hide away my husband's sneakers and daily work boots, with room for guest to remove their shoes and grab a pair of socks to walk around in.  Also the storage is huge that it can hold full size umbrellas in bench, the top of bench is the perfect length for space to make a decorative throw pillow set with welcome sign on it at the entry of our home and leave plenty room for you to sit and place shoes on or take them off. Wood color is beautiful with a simple whitewash brown tone. I could not give it 5 stars due to the assembly was very time consuming and needed two people.   The screwdriver came with the package was a plus. It took too many screws to put the item together though.
