We like and use the shoe rack bench....its located in our fairly narrow laundry room that is just inside the house from the garage so perfect for sitting down and putting on/taking off shoes .. and best of all...storing some there.  The top is a nice quality beige vinyl and the shoe racks deep enough so shoes are totally under the bench. Wish I had found this years ago...thought my area was just too narrow for a bench until I found this.  Recommend it.
