Love this hall tree! Goes well with a rustic, modern farmhouse style. The bench has a nice wood look to it and is sturdy. We have not yet anchored it to the wall, but I would recommend doing so, as the top part can make it a little wobbly if sitting on the bench. The two lower racks hold a good amount of shoes and the racks are simple to wipe clean. It is narrower than most (which we needed for this space,) but still goes deep enough to fit a size 12 men’s shoe.
