Love this piece of furniture! It’s sturdy and the color is exactly what I thought it would be (I got the grey). It took me about an hour and a half to put together myself. It wasn’t too bad but I would highly recommend a drill.... I could not have done it with just a Phillips screwdriver. Super happy with this purchase!!!! Oh and I really wanted people to be able to sit on it to take shoes off and on... it’s perfect for that!
