This went together so well and is extremely sturdy. The assembly instructions were a little hit or miss for me. The cushion is very firm, which we find great, I just wish it wasn't white.

My 320lbs husband had reservations about sitting on it but it is a solid piece. 

If you have larger than a 9 mens or 11 womens, I would look for something a little deeper. As it is, it is perfect for our kiddo shoes.

UPDATE:
The slats on the front are very delicate, do ot appear to be solid wood, and have broken in less than 30 days of owning :(
