Love the storage bench. We got the bigger size which looks like it can fit atleast 6 pairs of shoes under it, possibly more. The carboard in the pictures is obviously not apart of the bench, but used to protect floors from scratching until we get some pads for under it.

There are a few tiny wood chips sticking out which is why I gave it a 4. And some of the screws look like they were drilled in too far. But Im going to put a gloss protection coating and that should prevent snagging, etc. It's very sturdy but need to make sure there my guests don't get splinters!
