Love this bench. It is perfect for our front hall. I love that it has drawers & not a swing top that damages the wall.  I was nervous about reviews: not holding weight. We glued extra wood on the inside to give it more support. No idea if it needed it but was worried a heavy person would break the bench. It arrived with a little damage but called customer service & decided to keep the bench. Wayfair was amazing.  I would buy this again. I am so happy with the bench
