I bought this in the cream color to use in a small space behind a back door. It is the perfect smaller wooden bench. The bottom shelf is great for holding baskets and I can even fit flip-flops and flats below the shelf for storage. I find it very sturdy and was easy to put together. It is about the size for one adult or 2 kids to sit on, but as it is a wood slab not very comfortable for long term seating.
