I absolutely Love this shoe bench! It showed up with a little damage to the box but when I opened it the bench was well packed to avoid damage. I was thrilled that there was no assembly required and all you have to do is take it out of the box and put it wherever you want it to go. I’m using mine as a coffee table for now so we have something soft to put our feet on when sitting on the couch. The bench is so cute and so well made.The wood is beautiful and the neutral color of the top will go with any decor. I’m so glad I got this and I would get it again in a heartbeat.
