We ordered this bench for a back entrance, from garage into a 6' hallway leading into a new sunroom.  The bench is the exact size needed for the narrow hallway.  With Indiana winters, it's a perfect seat for removing boots or wet, snow covered shoes when entering the house.  With a boot tray placed under the bench, the shoe rack is durable and perfect for a change of shoes or boots.  We are very happy with the look and quality of the bench!
