I love this bench.  I had been looking for something like this for months to organize my shoes and entryway.  I saw this one and decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did.   The bamboo is a lovely color and it goes well with my other decor.  It's very solid and sturdy and provides the perfect organization for my entryway.  I don't have a lot of space  in this area so the size is just right yet it still easily stores 6 pairs of adult size shoes on the shelves and a basket of hats and gloves and umbrellas on the seat.  It makes my entryway not only more organized and less cluttered but I think it looks much nicer than it did when I just had that stuff laying on the floor.  It was somewhat tedious to assemble, there's alot of screws and Allen wrenching, but I was able to do it myself fairly quickly without any problems.  The quality of this bench is better than I expected and it's sturdy enough to sit on if you need to to put on your shoes.
