The shoe storage bench is small and compact,  but holds 8 pairs of shoes ( not too bulky) easily. It is a great bench for small spaces. The under the  seat storage is extremely useful for storing keys and small things that you may need to grab quickly on the way out. I have already had many good comments from my family and friends about it. The children now love putting their shoes away neatly!  Overall a great buy and a good price too.
