Shipped quickly and was easy to put together by myself with little instructions provided. Smaller in person than what the pictures show but perfect size for my small apartment kitchen. The color shown online is  exactly the same color of what was shipped to me. Holds about 4 or five pair of shoes and room to slide flip-flops or sandals underneath the bench. The instruction said it holds around 120lbs. I sat on it to put shoes on and seems pretty sturdy. Overall great purchase for such a bargain.
