It’s cheap of course but I didn’t expect much. There are no labels on the pieces so it’s guess work putting it together. It is strong enough to sit on but I don’t. It also holds a pair of shoes in each cubby unlike one of the comments claiming it does not (they must have huge super wide feet or trying to put boots in it) My husband is an 11 and his sneakers and shoes fit fine. I personally would spend more money on real wood but this will do for now.
