It is literally EXACTLY what we had in mind for our mudroom bench. The perfect storage space for hats, mittens and such for 3 people. My 3.5 year old son helped me screw the legs on, so you could say the elbow grease required is pretty minimal ;)
To be honest, I’ve never found a bench that I love more than this one! The quality is top-notch for the price, the vibrant color is eye-catching without being garish, and it is big enough for a couple of people to sit at the same time.

Don’t hesitate on this one folks!
