No good as a bench, only good for shoe storage. Seems fine until you sit on it, at which point it is super wobbly. Can’t lean forward to put on shoes without feeling like it’s going to tip over. And I’m not a heavy person. The vertical dividers also can be pulled out, they aren’t secured in any way once assembled. Wish we picked a different shoe storage bench, opened it too late to return it. Also took weeks to arrive, and went on sale for $40 less the day after we ordered it. All around a pretty disappointing buy.
