I had needed a bench with storage for my mudroom, and this was the perfect choice; I was able to assemble it within a reasonable amount of time and am very happy with it. A few pointers...during assembly, the middle white leg was in the box loose (not shown in picture, but it provides extra support), and I thought it was missing. I agree that the magnets are a tiny bit off, but they can be adjusted, and the doors stay closed just fine. Also, if the item you want is on sale, don't hesitate! Prices change daily, much to my chagrin. In terms of storage, I will buy 6" high shelving and will be able to fit two rows of shoes. So exciting!
