Well I have to say this should have been easy peasy to put together but the screws, bolts, etc. were way too big and went right through the holes already drilled out. So that means I had to call, get someone to send a new set of screws, etc. etc....hooohumm

Amazing quality, came really well packed and the only slight damage was one of natural wood split of the bamboo where one of the screw holes was drilled . The top of the bench is a nice herringbone pattern two tone brown and beige gray hue. Very well made, the screw holes on one side didn’t quite line up but a bit of pushing from one side ensured the screws went in. Took about twenty minutes to assemble and the bamboo is great quality and I like the break down of the sustainability of the bamboo as compared to wood. Purchased a different style of shoe stool before that had two levels of shoe storage and this one has the one level and then a comfy padded stool to sit on to change shoes. I’m probably going to pop a towel on the top level and store shoes as my son has so many pairs of shoes. Light weight, but sturdy and an attractive addition to his bedroom

We’ve been looking for a small bench to put near our door and this is the perfect fit! It’s sturdy and was pretty easy to build. It doesn’t take up a lot of space (which I like), but it makes it convenient to quickly sit down when you’re putting your shoes on. If you’re looking for a simple bench for your entryway, I definitely recommend!

This is the perfect bench/foot stool and versatile in its use. I've placed mine next to my bed to make it easier for my older cat to jump up on the bed. I appreciate the style of this bench and the attractive slats that provide extra storage. Very happy with this item!
