My husband put this together today with no issues. It arrived on time with no damage. Looks great in our entryway. Shoes are now nicely organized and the drawer is perfect for keys, wallet, sunglasses, etc.   Love how there are no unsightly screws showing. Seems sturdy.  If I had to say anything negative, it would be that the cushion is a little thin and inexpensive looking. But for the price, this bench is worth it and looks better than others I have seen.  I recommend it.
