We needed a bench that wasn't too deep as we were putting it in a hallway between our laundry room and kitchen that we chose to use as a mud room. It's the perfect size! It's great quality, love the color. The baskets are great and the drawers too. However, the baskets easily hold my size 8 shoes but my husband's size 10 don't fit. We knew this would be the case because we chose a bench that wasn't very deep. But we still love it. We just decided to remove the baskets and use the cubbies which hold both of our shoes perfectly. Plus we use the baskets to organize our pantry. It's a win-win!
