“Sturdy with nice color. Great bench with nice color that matches cedar. Most other benches are orange looking but this one is a perfect match. It was very easy to set up and feels very sturdy, with enough space for a brief sit down.” – Kat (Source: Amazon)

“Good Shoe Rack Bench. Delivered in time as promised. It came in its box as is. Not in an Amazon box. Box got little dents and holes due to shipping but didn’t damage much the contents. Styro foam supports all edge sides. The whole unassembled item was bubble wrapped.Easy to follow instructions. Quite straight forward if you’ve done a few assemblies like Ikea items. This product came with complete tools and screws. Pictured are the excess screws after I got it installed. This S hex key is my favourite. It made the job easier over an L- shaped key.Assembly Tips:Follow the instructions and hand tighten all screws first. Once you have built it you can tighten the screws with the tools. Don’t over tighten as you may rip or crack the wood. Just tight enough that it won’t wobble when in use. The feet’s side that should face the outside are the ones with bored holes. If you tighten the screws and their heads protrude flat out, you got the foot inside out. The heads of the screws should hide flat within the wood once fully tightened. Sturdy enough after fully set up.Taller boots won’t fit. The higher rack has a slightly higher clearance than the lower rack.Could fit about 6 pair of shoes.The height of the bench may be short for taller people, but this is just a quick bench to use when putting on or taking off shoes at the door. The whole bench fits exactly in a Rubbermaid mud mat as pictured.Measurements as described.It’s true about the strong painted wood smell similar to new chess pieces out of the box. I’m sure it will die down overtime.Overall it’s a good accent by the door. Will serve its purpose. Priced this way maybe because it is bamboo. Could be better if a little cheaper though.Made in China” – RA (Source: Amazon)
