I love this! It was easy to put together - although I recommend using an electric screwdriver. The baskets do have to be assembled too, which I found odd. However, everything is sturdy and looks beautiful. The wood itself is a nice medium brown with a gray wash. With the cream cushion, it will match any decor. The bins are surprisingly spacious too - my husband can fit 3 pairs of his shoes and I can fit 5 pairs of my size 6 shoes. I would definitely recommend purchasing this bench. This product was provided free for review purposes but I do love it and would purchase it myself!
