Entryway bench is very useful and came as described. It was easy to put together and looks good. We didn't anchor it to the wall, so feels a bit wobbly, but not concerned about it falling over. I wish the cushion was a darker color, but otherwise it's great! The shelf below can easily fit 5 pairs of shoes, plus there's space below to fit more shoes. The hooks on top and shelf above is also useful for hanging coats, scarves, and placing hats.
