Arrived very well packaged (often they are not).  Not bangs or scratches at the edges.  The measurements were correct.  Easy to put together, just needed 1 screwdriver and the provided Allen wrench.  Took about 30 minutes to put together.  I have men's size 13 shoes, and they fit in the cubbies, although I need to turn 1 of my 2 sneakers sideways to fit.  My wife's and children's shoes all fit well.  I like the padded top as well, not real leather, but feels good.  Also, this version has a middle support structure which adds stength with sitting.  Happy with the purchase.
