Nice sturdy unit.  Like that it is not  "bulky"  and you've got everything in one piece of furniture.  The bench, room for shoes & boots & shelves that will hold trays or whatever to put keys & such in.  It went together well, but decided we wanted to put the shelves on the other side.  Drilled a couple holes & it worked out perfectly.  Hubby knew what he was doing, so make sure if you're going to switch around you're good with a drill.  But really, it was pretty simple to switch around.
