Looking everywhere for an entryway bench, I was horrified at how costly they all are. I searched literally everywhere.  When I found this one, I decided to try it because the price was excellent. And the reviews were fantastic!

People were right- it's solid, well-made, heavy and not cheap looking.  The baskets that come with are fine.

It has a strange chemical-y smell for a couple days, probably from the paint, but it goes away quickly.

A great buy!!
