I liked the style of this bench, but not a fan of the material.  I purchased the matching wall shelf with pegs; it fell apart upon installation, and with VERY LIGHT impact, punched a deep, wide dent in the top of this bench (the wood is extremely soft).   I just don't think that it will withstand the wear and tear of an entryway bench.  I'll probably just put this in the garage for light storage now.  Not excited about this  purchase.
