I love it so far!! It has caused convenience in my life! I don't like walking through my place with shoes on, this allows me to sit at my doorway and put shoes on or take them off, depending on whether I'm coming or going. I really love that it has storage inside the bench! No more lost keys for me (well mostly); and I place all of my dog walking essentials there so I can grab what I need and go! LOVE this bench!!
