Nothing special about this bench other than the functionality.  This is pressed board with a vinyl laminate but looks decent when assembled.  Not a comfortable place to sit but good for a quick place to take off shoes when coming into the house.  Fine quality for a mud/laundry room but not entryway quality.  Went together in under an hour with just 1 person doing it, just a Philips screwdriver, hammer and carpet knife (to open packaging) are all that is necessary.  Holds kids' shoes and gloves well, adult shoes are a squeeze.

Pros: Functional shoe slots and glove drawers good for kid's 
Cons: Moderate quality, not entryway quality.
