Seems like a good sturdy bench. It looks good! The instructions are cryptic, so you need a Masters in hieroglyphics to decipher which screwleg goes where. Took some trial and error to get it just right. All in all, seems like a great bench for you and your guests to sit and removeput on shoesboots. Only holds, at max, 4 pairs of mens shoes. Looks great in my foyer.
