Question: How tall is this unit without the cushion? I want to use it as an end table and shoe rack.
Document: We really like our bench. As people indicated, assembling was a little difficult and requires two people. Ours does not wobble, but we chose to used wood glue in our assembly. If you don't know what you're doing, you might not want to use glue as the result is very permanent.Our baskets do not sit squarely on the shelves, but where the bench is located, people do not notice. Also, the shoe cubbies are small and only hold one large shoe in each cubby.
Hard to put together but very beautiful and worth it at the end :)I love the drawers. I wish the cushion was better quality but its not bad. The whole bench looks very nice .
The unit looks good, but it was a royal pain to put together. Also, the cubby holes are smaller than I expected...you can only put one shoe per cubby, unless it is a small child's pair of shoes. So you really can only put 6 pairs of shoes in it.
It was so very difficult to assemble alone. I am very accustomed to assembling most assembly/DIY style furniture items myself, but this one was a challenge for me. I was able to get most of it done by myself, but because of the cumbersome weight of the main portions and awkwardness in assembling the shoe cubby portion whilst keeping it in the correct position needed, I had to wait for my husband's assistance to hold one end in place while I took care of the other end.
The bench arrived in a timely fashion and overall we are pleased with the product. The reviews about the cushion not being very high quality are accurate and in fact the bench looks great without this feature.
This shoe bench is overpriced in my opinion, but I decided to order it anyway because it would fit exactly in the space I wanted to put it, and I couldn't find any others that weren't too wide. The product is actually nicer in person than in the photo. The wood and the baskets are very attractive, and the piece looks great in my foyer. The assembly wasn't too difficult. The only thing I don't like about it is the cushion.
The description of this product on-line shows that is has a maximum seat load of 300 pounds, however, the maximum seat load listed on the assembly instructions is only 250 pounds. This product could use a few more screws during the assembly, in order to make it more sturdy, instead of using mostly small wooden dowels. The product looks nice, but the seat cushion is a bit cheap.
I just bought this product and it arrived quickly and with no issues. The bench is very high quality materials and stain and finish are great. The brown is not a dull brown - slightly redish but mostly brown if trying to match something like expresso finish it isn't a perfect match but close. You can see the grain of the wood clearly.The shoe compartments are good for ladies or kids shoes but not tall enough for a size 11 mens shoe due to short height of the compartments.
This is a great product. It is a welcome addition to my foyer. We really enjoy this product. I hope to get a lot ou use from this product.
)- this unit looks good at least and has served well as a bench so far. But beware, this is a lower quality item that I am quite certain major retailer would run away from carrying after assembling just one of them or talking to customers that have assembled them.
Answer: 20 inches, perfect for the bench probably not tall enough for the end table
