Great sized bench for my small hallway.  Well made and sturdy with pretty wood that can be stained or painted if you want. I wish there was more space from the floor to the bottom shelf (so overall it would be taller) - that would allow for shoes to be placed underneath as well as easier to sit on. Also the trim/lip under the seat part could be smaller. Would like to purchase baskets for bottom shelf for more organization, but not sure how easy they will be to access with the trim.
