The bench/shoe rack is beautiful.  The size is perfect for our master.  It looks great. I bought it for my husband because at the end of the day he liked to turn his clothes on the floor :) & his shoes were always on the floor. Now he folds his clothes and puts them on the bench & his shoes are on the racks.  The racks easily holds six pairs of shoes.  Assembly took a long time, but it was my fault. When my husband got home we put it together in about ten minutes. Easier to assemble with two people, but one person can do it too.  I am very satisfied with the product.
