Not just for shoes.  Our mattress is 60'' queen, so I knew this 54'' would fit perfectly. We received our new storage bench 6/13/2019.  It looks even better in person!   I opened the large box & was blown away by the attention to detail on the overly generous cushion tufted top.  It is a vibrant emerald green with velvet feeling fabric.  The polyester blend fabric behaves like velvet, changing color when you run your hands over it & you can make it look like it wasn't touched. The four large legs were packaged inside.  The legs are screw-on, easy peasy.  The inside depth is 16.7,", a pleasant surprise.  I put our bedding linens inside & easily pushed it to the foot of our bed.  We have a kitty, so I placed his preferred blankets of similar greens to turquoise over the top so there will not be accidental snags from our kitties claws & he can lay where he wants.  The beautiful Dotson comforter I bought from Wayfair too.  Thank you, Wayfair!  Our home could easily be a Wayfair commercial❤
