I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another if I needed to - it’s very sturdy and the materials seem to be of a good quality too. Sat on the top to test it, did not budge. As others have said, you get an extra screw and other fittings with it in case you lose/have any issues with them which is great! I managed to put it altogether on my own, the instructions aren’t always clear (or maybe that’s just me) but once I wrapped my head around how it should look, it went smoothly (about 1.5hours from getting out of of the box to recycling said box) Only a 4* as I was expecting the bench to be white as the colour shows but it’s more of a blue colour which now doesn’t really fit with my colour scheme. But we make do (others have mentioned the colour doesn’t seem like the photo too whilst others see it fine, so must be luck of the draw). You can fit three pairs of shoes per row - mine are women’s size 7s - so long as you put them on the side as per the picture attached, but you’re only really getting 2.5 pairs per row realistically if you’re putting them out side by side

This was easy to put together , being a flat back item . Very good quality and looks good .

I love this storage bench. Fits perfectly in our small hallway.

Very happy with this for the price. Easy to put together by myself, although I did need my son to hold the lid when I attached it. Just needed a screwdriver and small hammer. Plenty of spares in the bags of screws and bits. Seems robust enough and does the job I need to store my kids shoes and a few items for school in the top storage under the seat. Would recommend.

It came damaged in the box. Not the most visible part of it. But I am upset as it is a big hassle to send back and receive a new one. The product is good apart from damage issue
