Perfect for a small entry in need of tidying up. We are very happy with the bench; it arrived in just 3 days and was very easy to assemble (about 20 minutes working solo + a toddler wanting to help). Looks great in our smaller entryway. We use the bottom shelves for my husband and my shoes, and the baskets for our two toddlers' shoes. It isn't incredibly heavy duty, but we expected that considering the price.
