MAJOR WARNING!
Shoe bench was easy to assemble. Yes there were a couple of holes for the doors not pre-drilled which could be a challenge if you're not a little bit handy, but all in all it took about an hour and a half without rushing.
Bench looks gorgeous and appears to be sturdy and of good quality.
Here's the kicker though. It's basically for baby shoes. I have size 11 men's shoes, not small but not Shaquille O'Neal either. If I put the shoes straight the rack fits 5 pairs, not 10...and the doors don't close. Unless you want to pile your shoes sideways and on top of each other, or have small feet, this product fails in its basic duty. Yes, the dimensions were listed and I could have measured my shoes and done the math, but I would have thought a shoe storage bench would be sized to store shoes.
