I was surprised by how heavy this storage bench was. Each shoe-slot is quite spacious and can easily hold a pair of shoes and even 2 pairs of sandals stacked one above the other in a slot.
The wood is a nice rich color and the cushion is also really nice. It was very simple to put together and I am very pleased with the simple, straight lines of this storage bench that goes very well in my mud-room.

Pros: Sturdy, spacious shoe-slots, bench cushion
Cons: Bench cushion cover retains stains even after cleaning.
