This is both stylish and practical. I appreciate that it's not too wide, but can hold a lot of shoes and coats. I also appreciate that it has a space which will fit boots or taller shoes. The shelves and drawer are handy for storing accessories. The walnut colour is attractive and I get lots of compliments on it. The only downside is that I find the bench a bit high, and the outer edge digs into my legs - but since I only sit on it for a few seconds to change shoes, this is not a major concern. Overall fantastic!
