This is a great piece of furniture.  It sits in our mud room, and we hang coats, bookbags, etc. on it.  There are slots to place shoes.  The wicker baskets come with the entryway bench.  The cushion that comes with the bench is an extra plus.  There are other sets on other websites almost twice the price.  I feel this is a real bargain.   We will enjoy this for a long time.  I would definitely recommend this to a friend.  The set is exactly as described.
