This works for us as we had a very small space and had to adhere to particular measurements. This is basically the narrowest hall tree they carry. We like that the style is modern-to-neutral. The bottom box is just barely big enough to store about 8-10 rolls of paper towels. I would not risk sitting on the bench...and it's kinda too narrow for that anyway. I bought it to sit backpacks on the bench and it works fine for that purpose. We hang jackets and masks from the hooks. 
In the listing pics, one of the hooks looks like it might be bent or something but no worries...in person, the hooks are normal and sturdy.
