I love this bench. It’s perfect for schlepping shoes in after coming inside the house and I so appreciate how sturdy it is. My hubby is 250+ lbs and we needed a bench he could sit on to put his shoes on before  leaving the house. It was very easy to put together too. The only draw back is the stickers to cover the screws on the outside are cheesy/cheap but you don’t even need them in my opinion.
