I purchased this shoe bench in April.  I was looking for a bench that my husband could store his shoes in as they never seem to make it into his closet.  There is plenty of room in each cubby hole for his size 12 shoes so that is nice.  I'm not particularly fond of the cam self locking bolts that are used to put the bench together as some of them don't lock very well into place and needed to be tightened many times.  I may end up using some type of glue to help hold the cams in place. Instructions to build are easy to follow.
