Pros feels sturdy enough and looks pretty good once assembled, size and functionality as described, perfect height for me to sit at 54
Cons assembly was more frustrating than anticipated. Ive assembled a bunch of this kind of furniture but I couldnt have managed this one if I didnt have my own drill to get the nails in. The included screwdriver was not enough for me and I took a star off for that. If you wear a lot of boots only one pair will fit easily so this is not the bench for you - most of the space wont take anything larger than a sneaker.
Overall Im happy with it, now that assembly is finished. It came packaged well with no major issues and will do what I need it to do.
