This purple bench is soooo GORGEOUS! The product is well packed and assembly was straight forward and simple. One person can easily put it together in no time. It can fit 3-4 pairs of regular shoes underneath. My hubby weighs about 200 lbs and he felt it was very sturdy and stable to sit on. Seems like we got a good bench thats gonna last for a long time. So glad we go this bench for the front door now we can easily change shoes without bending over and hurting our backs.
