Super easy to put together and was packaged very well. The shelves for shoes are a bit shallow (will not fit my husband’s chukkas for instance) but the customizable sized boot section is great. The hooks are mostly at a useable length. Some of the low lower ones will only fit our children’s jackets without hanging over the bench, but the bench itself clearly we are using for purse and diaper bag storage and it is heaven sent to get everything out of our kitchen!
