The shoe bench was easy to install and great for any entrance hallway for anyone that needs to remove or put on their shoes. There are plenty of slots to fill and functional. The only reason why I'm knocking one star off is because I bought a white finish so shoes, sandals, slippers, etc. when moving in and out the cubbies leaves dirt marks inside. So you would have to wipe inside them regularly -- or not. I would suggest getting a dark wood finish so it doesn't show as much. Other than that, I would still recommend it.
